[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And have Asians and Hispanics for for it?  No thanks!  Why do black people think they should get special treatment?[/quote]

Why [i]don’t[/i] you think black people should get “special treatment”? They got “special treatment” for 400 years, so...

Every race has faced their pains.  Heard of the Nanking massacre in Asia? Vietnam war?  Chinese communist purges?  Chinese faces lots of racism here.  Why as an Asian or a Hispanic should I have to give reparations to black people?  We didn’t use slaves and it’s not something I will apologize for. [/quote]

Actually, you do realize that Brazil and the Caribbean had far more slaves than the U.S., don’t you? Spain colonized those areas (mostly). So Hispanics owe too. Asians, not so much. Anyhow, reparations are not the way to go.  Handing money out never solves anything. Just further enslaves people to welfare vs. hard work and ingenuity. [/quote]

Completely untrue. The easiest way to alleviate poverty and other financial stresses is to give people money.

Of course most white people will claim that “Handing money out never solves anything” because they are entrenched in their privilege. They want to stay at the top, and will fight any efforts to even out the playing field.

Fortunately, the Biden Administration will be woke enough to introduce reparations, something that is long overdue![/quote]

Because the lottery works out so well for whites and blacks alike.

Re Biden, he's the right wing of the Dem party (I wanted Warren). Obama didn't want reparations, and Biden won't go for them either.[/quote]
