When is the United States going to get serious about reparations? Millions of slaves were released from centuries of chattel slavery, but there was essentially no effort (or, rather, an aborted effort) to provide that group with any form of reparations or meaningful integration. Jim Crow, racial redlining, the omission of Black Americans from the GI Bill and the New Deal. The "War on Drugs" that somehow was only waged against Black Americans.

You tell me when the US is going to get serious about righting those wrongs, and I'll tell you when we can expect ADOS folks to compete on a level playing ground with white Americans. [/quote]

And what would black people do with their reparations payment? Buy a new car, a house, jewelry, or new clothes? How many would use the money to enroll their children in tutoring programs or private schools? [/quote]

^^^DCUM, where you have a member of the "Kamala Harris isn't black" group arguing about reparations with a bigoted immigrant on the MD Public Schools forum.[/quote]

What are you even on about? [/b]Kamala Harris is Black. She's also descended from enslaved people, although the Caribbean experience is not exactly the same as the USian one.

Even if she wasn't descended from slaves, she's still Black. Barack Obama is Black too. His experience, though, is different from the experience of a Black person whose ancestors were enslaved, then discriminated against. Basically, Black is a big umbrella and it isn't ridiculous to talk about different experiences under that umbrella. [/quote]

Yeah, that's the "ADOS" folks who say they're not.[/quote]
