[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Poc impose so many direct economic costs on society that are in massively greater proportion to their % of the population.  Have we netted out all the extra $$ we pay for police, prisons, welfare, low income housing, theft, arson, looting, robbery, bussing, private schools, private security, EEOC, etc? There is no way the blacks have been a net economic positive to the country over 400 years.[/quote]

This is one of the most racist comments I have seen in a while, I hope you are able to correct your thinking and attitudes.

That said, reparations will shine a light on the division, trauma and destruction wrought on People of Color in this country over the past 400 years. [/quote]
Here’s a hint jackweed: it’s not racist if it’s true. Poc are a massive drain on the economy. The 13% cost 19% of the gdp for police, prisons, food stamps, section 8 housing, etc.
Thanks...[/quote]

The 1619 Project has shown us that this nation is racist to its very foundation. The United States started the importation of slaves from its very beginning. Who benefited? The slaves forcibly separated from their homes and families, or the white Americans who were trying to get rich off the backs of others?? I’m not even going to get into the racist societal structures that excluded People of Color from the start.

So, we started way behind the curve in this country, we’ve been kept down for centuries. And you cite the cost of policing and prisons as some sort of favor? Payment for the structures of society that keep us down aren’t a gratuity for hundreds of years of oppression and suffering. Reparations, on the other hand, will show that the country has turned a page.[/quote]
