[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given today’s political climate, I think it’s hilarious that we are even having this discussion. We are lucky our democracy stays intact. Read.the.room. We are so far from reparations.[/quote] Calling reparations “hilarious” just shows what your personal prefrences are, that's all, just like any name-calling session. Now, if you honestly just don’t care about reparations and/or or think African Americans should just “get over” slavery, that’s your right, but your personal boredom on the matter doesn’t the U.S. can not plan to do what is right, whether you care our not. "Democracy", as you are so so concerned about, stays healthy when we dig into unfinished business, not when we act like it’s too messy. Think about it, the Civil Rights movement happened in the 60s, a rough time for our country, we can do big things in the current rough time for our country. [/quote] What's strange is that Democrats are desperate for you to forget waht might have been happening in the last four years and any investigations into that recent history are "pointless." Yet, we have something from 180 years ago that needs a closer look. [/quote] The fact Dems don’t push back on big electronic corporation use of slavery is telling. And the fact they don’t make demands that Great Britain, Portugal, France, Spain, Denmark etc etc, the countries that brought slaves and slavery here is also telling. The US is responsible for its part from its declaration to the passing of the 13th amendment. This is just a dangling carrot to get people’s votes. The reality is that reparations to black Americans are not going to happen unless you do it for all descendants of slaves and pay back the native tribes. [/quote]
