What happened to that entrepreneurial drive? What is keeping black people from building those up again, now that so many of those barriers are gone?

How much money in there in the black communities to fund new businesses?

I'm the racist from 13:35. I support giving money to black businesses in black communities because there isn't enough money in black communities now. I would support this even if the 1921 Tulsa riots never happened.

I know that, because I'm a racist, it doesn't matter that I support this. But I just thought I'd put that out there.

Some SJW here will tell you that they benefitted from “white privilege.” I would just love for my Sicilian ancestors to come back from the dead and have some piss ant SJW tell them to their faces that they were privileged in any way. Now that would be entertainment!

Racist trash like you have had enough privilege. Sit TF down.

DP: you, you, YOU, are pure racist trash. Sit TF down.

How exactly am I racist trash?

Your comments show the racist trash you are.

DP here. Why? Because Sicilian immigrants 100 years ago had such a great life?

My great grandfather came over from Italy in 1901 and was a manual laborer scraping by for the rest of his life. He had it rough too. But he traveled here of his own free will. And he was able to live with his family. His kids weren’t sold off like property. He didn’t lose his name, language, religion, or culture. His kids were able to go to school and get better jobs. Those kids moved around. None got lynched. There were no US policies limiting his options for housing & banking. So he had it tough, but it wasn’t really comparable.

That doesn’t change the fact that PP is racist and should sit TF down.

Sicilians were lynched too, genius. And if you want to pay up for slavery despite the facts that your relatives came here 50 years after slavery ended, then by all means, sell your house and your land and put the money in the coffer so that it can be paid to people were never slaves and whose great-great grandparents were probably not even slaves. Why don’t you also give up your lucrative high paying job to a black person to make up for the past sins of discrimination and oppression that you didn’t commit? If you want to throw your hard earned money away for something you didn’t do, then go right ahead. I refuse because it is stupid, unfair, probably unconstitutional, and ultimately won’t improve or change anything. And if having common sense, logic and reason now makes one “racist trash,” then this country has taken a real turn toward the radical and we are all in real trouble. Luckily, though, reparations will never happen.

Italy weeps for your ignorance, truly. Sacco was from Apuglia (not Sicily) and Vanzetti was from Northern Italy. My Sicilian and Calabrian relatives experienced a lot of discrimination in Italy and in the United States where they were not considered white enough. However, they always ended every conversation with, but nobody has been treated worse in this country than Native Americans. There was no Trail of Tears for Italians in this country. Italian bodies were not the “strange fruit hanging from Southern trees,” by and large. My Italian grandparents taught me empathy. Apparently yours failed you.

Italians were not only lynched, they were also put in internment camps. Where is our money? Where is the Native Americans money? Where is the Latinos’ money? Or the money for the Chinese whose ancestors were also interned? You better pay up because your great “empathy” isn’t getting anyone sh!t!

Please prove examples of more than two Italians who were lynched. Italians were not actually put in internment camps in this country, Boris-bot. Neither were the Chinese. They were not systematically raped, had their children kidnapped and sold away from them, etc. Please get some perspective, Boris-bot.

All of that and more happened to Native Americans. Where's their money? A very wealthy black man calculated that each black person is owed $350,000. Don't ask how that was calculated, that's racist. I calculate that each Native American is owed $3 million.

I have not yet calculated our debt to Mexico for talking half their country, but I am sure it is quite substantial.

One Jew was lynched im Georgia in 1914 and thousands of Jews fled the state in fear. I calculate that each of their descendants is owed $35,000. Don't ask how I got that, that's racist.

Dear Racist:

Please do not misuse the memory of Leo Frank for your racist agenda. Thousands of Jews did not flee the state of Georgia. There were not thousands of Jews in Georgia at that point in history, Boris-bot.

Dear anti-Semite. Please do not use the memory of any lynching for your racist agenda. There were 3000 Jews in Georgia. Look it up.

Leonid.

Dear Leonid-bot: I do not believe you are Jewish for two seconds, but in any case 3000 is not a lot - and there was no mass exodus of them following Frank's murder. https://www.isjl.org/georgia-encyclopedia.html. This is not a suffering Olympics, but in any case, Jews were not systemically raped, murdered, separated from their families, denied the right to read in this country. --Signed actual Jew.

Dear angry guy you spit on the graves of many civic minded and no noble Jews who believed in and died for the cause. Goodman and Schwerner are turning over in their graves. The history and suffering of one group of people isn’t diminished by acknowledging and seeking redress for the historic and ongoing systemic harms committed against another.

Dear angry guy who projects and reads into things:

You don't get the point.

You spit on the grave of everyone who has ever suffered by asking for blood money on their behalf.

You spit on the graves of anti-racists everywhere by turning down assistance for your children in order to repay an unpayable debt to the dead.

You spit on yourself by diminishing the indignities heaped upon yourself and demanding payment for the much worse indignities heaped on your grandparents.

You spit on your fellow Americans who cry with you about the past and want to end systemic racism today just because it is happening today.

You spit on the cradles of your grandchildren and as you keep looking to the past rather than the future.

You spit on the present because in trying to loose the shackles of the past, you bind yourself tighter to it.

You spit on poor people because you demand money from them to pay rich people.

You let rich people spit on you as they tell you that you deserve a few pennies for your grandparents while racists will hate you even more for trying to take pennies from them.

You spit on everyone who disagrees with you and call them angry racists and Boris-bots when you yourself are angry. It's okay to be angry. It's not okay to spit on other people and tell them it's raining.

You spit on me, as I do not demand anything for my own parents, but I do want things for my children and yours.

But you don't care about all this spit, because you see a way to make profit. Enjoy your blood money. I hope it helps your children, but I am pretty sure it won't.

The South Korean government used to lend Korean immigrants money to open businesses in the US. I'd be strongly in favor of the US government lending money to black people to open stores in black neighborhoods.

What I finds so off putting about this whole reparations argument is that I only favor giving money to people who need it today and solely because they do, in fact need it today. But I get called racist if I don't think you need to justify that need by telling me tragic stories about your ancestors.

Korea was their guess where they were from. Maybe they were from Vietnam for all I know.
We could also see a black employee of the pizzeria who doesn’t have a great work ethic.
Was spike lee racist??

He was blatantly calling out racism.

He was hoping for the “ugh - that’s so ugly and wrong” reaction instead of “yes, that’s so right!”

Classic. Throw out a racist quote from a movie that pushed excessive racist stereotypes and tropes to make a statement about racial tension in the US. Way to miss the entire point and to show your true colors.

But it was by a black director who is very anti racist from what I know.

Yes. He was portraying how ugly racism is.

So are you. Except you actually believe the tropes instead of using them as a cinematic tool.

No. PP is racist because she knows that her family HAS benefited from white privilege and she doesn’t want to lose that privilege. That’s why you both deny and deflect. You are fighting to retain your power.

Do you think black people have less wealth because of their actions or the actions of others?

Both.

During segregation, black people had to build their own institutions, their own businesses which funded by themselves as the larger white community could choose not to engage with them, and the law prohibited equal access.

What happened to that entrepreneurial drive? What is keeping black people from building those up again, now that so many of those barriers are gone?

Racist trash like you have had enough privilege. Sit TF down.

DP: you, you, YOU, are pure racist trash. Sit TF down.

How exactly am I racist trash?

Your comments show the racist trash you are.

DP here. Why? Because Sicilian immigrants 100 years ago had such a great life?

My great grandfather came over from Italy in 1901 and was a manual laborer scraping by for the rest of his life. He had it rough too. But he traveled here of his own free will. And he was able to live with his family. His kids weren’t sold off like property. He didn’t lose his name, language, religion, or culture. His kids were able to go to school and get better jobs. Those kids moved around. None got lynched. There were no US policies limiting his options for housing & banking. So he had it tough, but it wasn’t really comparable.

That doesn’t change the fact that PP is racist and should sit TF down.

Sicilians were lynched too, genius. And if you want to pay up for slavery despite the facts that your relatives came here 50 years after slavery ended, then by all means, sell your house and your land and put the money in the coffer so that it can be paid to people were never slaves and whose great-great grandparents were probably not even slaves. Why don’t you also give up your lucrative high paying job to a black person to make up for the past sins of discrimination and oppression that you didn’t commit? If you want to throw your hard earned money away for something you didn’t do, then go right ahead. I refuse because it is stupid, unfair, probably unconstitutional, and ultimately won’t improve or change anything. And if having common sense, logic and reason now makes one “racist trash,” then this country has taken a real turn toward the radical and we are all in real trouble. Luckily, though, reparations will never happen.

No. PP is racist because she knows that her family HAS benefited from white privilege and she doesn’t want to lose that privilege. That’s why you both deny and deflect. You are fighting to retain your power.

Do you think black people have less wealth because of their actions or the actions of others?
