Report away racist.

With FARRAKHAN JR everything is BLACK or WHITE.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Reparations is a vote getting scam

Reparations is a vote getting scam

And IM2 is one of the easiest to scam.

And IM2 is one of the easiest to scam.

Consider the source.

 

[rampart]

Maybe if we bought a West African country for cheap and sent you people there.....Hell at least we could get shed of three BS "holidays".

great idea. we have experience with this. liberia of course, but by giving our "colonists" bulldozers and modern weapons and telling them they are gods chosen people they could bring as much peace to west africa as our other great experiment brought to the levant.

 

[WTH_Progs?]

Any time the issue of reparations for blacks is mentioned, we get the same dumb comments from the sane dumb people. So how about we look at what reparations would really be for and not what right wing white race hustlers tell other whites what they are for. So let's look at some studies AND DISCUSS ONLY WHAT THESE STUDIES PRESENT. None of the usual ignorance. Any occurrance will be reported immediately.

Why we need reparations for Black Americans​

Rashawn Ray and Andre M. Perry​

April 15, 2020

Central to the idea of the American Dream lies an assumption that we all have an equal opportunity to generate the kind of wealth that brings meaning to the words “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” boldly penned in the Declaration of Independence. The American Dream portends that with hard work, a person can own a home, start a business, and grow a nest egg for generations to draw upon. This belief, however, has been defied repeatedly by the United States government’s own decrees that denied wealth-building opportunities to Black Americans.

Today, the average white family has roughly 10 times the amount of wealth as the average Black family. White college graduates have over seven times more wealth than Black college graduates. Making the American Dream an equitable reality demands the same U.S. government that denied wealth to Blacks restore that deferred wealth through reparations to their descendants in the form of individual cash payments in the amount that will close the Black-white racial wealth divide. Additionally, reparations should come in the form of wealth-building opportunities that address racial disparities in education, housing, and business ownership.

In 1860, over $3 billion was the value assigned to the physical bodies of enslaved Black Americans to be used as free labor and production. This was more money than was invested in factories and railroads combined. In 1861, the value placed on cotton produced by enslaved Blacks was $250 million. Slavery enriched white slave owners and their descendants, and it fueled the country’s economy while suppressing wealth building for the enslaved. The United States has yet to compensate descendants of enslaved Black Americans for their labor. Nor has the federal government atoned for the lost equity from anti-Black housing, transportation, and business policy. Slavery, Jim Crow segregation, anti-Black practices like redlining, and other discriminatory public policies in criminal justice and education have robbed Black Americans of the opportunities to build wealth (defined as assets minus debt) afforded to their white peers.

So as we see, slavery is not all reparations should cover.

Dave Chappelle nailed it.................

 

[WTH_Progs?]

Whites got 8 different handouts. That was socialism too. So we want what whites were given.

Very cool, NOTHING, I got nothing.

You never picked cotton or anything else slavery, but my friends mom picked cotton for years, slave labor. She's white, fucker.

 

[WTH_Progs?]

Here's some fun for the guys seeking a handout. The Chinese were slave labor in the USA, and the Japanese lost their property too, thanks to a Democrat. Yet, the median wealth of Asians is nearly twice that of whites, in the USA.

Heck, Hispanics come here illegally, and they earn more than blacks too.

Perhaps you're just lazy?

 

[Nostra]

Hey IM2 , got your check yet?

No?

Be sure to vote Dimwinger this year…..they will bring it up again 4 years from now.

 

[Hector12]

You fools will get NOTHING just like all the other times Dems dangled something on front of you for votes.

Think of all the money we have already spent paying for welfare checks for their illegitimate children.

I think the real problem for most blacks is low IQ power, but laziness contributes to their problems. So does the fact that many of them have felony convictions.

It may not be reparations but it sure as hell is some good no-show jobs for relatives, hacks and mistresses.....six figures I'll bet

Okay, looked and that is bullshit too. It will lead to more and not less racism as I've pointed out many times on here.
Intermarriage, legal definitions of Black that made whites into Blacks, genetic mixtures of races, Placage, blacks owning slaves.

So when a Black marries a white (hugely common) you will be giving reparations to that Black at twice the rate you do to a Black married to a Black...increased racism...OR does mr cut-and-paste propose a law and police to see that the white spouse doesn't get sht.
That should piss the Black off even more. you are a racist at least in what you unwittingly support.

 

[my2¢]

I'd wager that the vast majority of reparations, should it come about, will indirectly end up in white hands. I get that feeling when I read of those minority areas clammer over the closing of a Walmart or grocery store. I think it would be wonderful to see communities no matter the racial make-up, return to local merchants with money staying within the community instead of being shipped off to Bentonville.

A study on Why Pedophilia isn't a Bad Thing isn't pedophilia.

 

[AZrailwhale]

Your argument has no merit. Japanese got reparations. Various Native American tribes have gotten reparations. So now suddenly reparations aren't constitutional?

Race has not stopped being used, whites are still admitted based on race. That never stopped. The cry came from whites to stop others from getting what whites have always got.

Reparations are NOT being asked for because we are black. They are asked for due to various human rights and equal protection violations. Your argument misses these facts to reach for an excuse to oppose reparations given to blacks for things other groups have gotten reparations for.

You've been told this before. The Japanese Americans actually interned got a small reparations payment for actual losses suffered. NOT their children or grandchildren.

And the Black guy that married a white girl gets DOUBLE
And can't share it with his white oppressor wife

You can't make this stuff up, the humor of dumb folks having an opium dream

What you don't see --- can't see -- is that Brookings ( I used to work across the street) is largely WHITE

They will never be reparations because none are warranted
It’s another basket case emotional ploy from lib loons
