You werent there and you were never a slave. Black people today have benefitted the most from slavery. If some other people hadnt suffered for you in the past, youd be stuck in Africa. You also reap any and every reward that white people today get from slavery._____Wow, 20 people in a forum of 40,000, a nation of 330 million, and a world of 7.7 billion, think I am a racist. Why my goodness I should just stop what I am doing and see things the way those 20 people want me to.You aren't objective and they all were better than Trump.
As stated coming from the demonstrably least objective person on the forum.

Lol!
Are you in favor of Reparations?
Yes. Do you have a problem with that? And don't come with that we weren't there or did not own slave bullshit. Slavery is the basis on which current white American wealth is built.
Quit begging for money and get a job you bum.
And it is great when it works ya? How has it helped those communitees?
This is in WV. We are are a very white state. This is a white boy truck. One of many.Nah, if reparations were paid, your car would look like this the next day. This is why we dont want Harris or Booker as president. Your cars are eye sores and therefore bad for the country.If reparations were paid tomorrow I would direct my part to be put in a fund dedicated to rebuilding black communities.
You make a lot of assumptions. They sound more like talking points. Ever sat down to dinner with a black family?And it is great when it works ya? How has it helped those communitees?
It starts with the breakdown of the family. When poor families are broken, when they teach kids to hate cops and hate whitey, when the kids commit crimes and drop out of school with everything that follows that, you are guaranteed a never ending circle of misery, and no government program can affect that circle.
Parents need to break the circle. Have you read the story of what Ben Carson's mom did with Ben? She bucked the trend. I suggest you read it.
I don’t support reparations. Native Americans get something different, not reparations. What I would support is increased community investment and empowerment to disadvantaged communitees including better police/ community relations, safety, education, urban renewal that doesn’t price residents out of their homes. That type of investment would disproportionately help African American communities.
If a candidate pushes for reparations it create a further racial rift, resentment of people who feel forced to pay for something they had no part in, or who feel one group of people are getting something special solely based on skin color, that is denied to others.
I am an objective observer, I am disgusted by all of them.
Uncle Joe started off good enough, but his brain gets tired pretty quick, and it had quit working by the time they asked him about past racial issues, and he responded by talking about Venezuela and record players. Whatever is wrong with him is only going to get worse over the next grueling year.
And "The Bern" look even older and even crabbier than usual. He only looked good three years ago, because he was being compared to the worst candidate in history---the Depraved Hillary Clinton.
The two old White Boys are done.
So, I would say Elizabeth Warren. She is easily the closest to being a certifiable Lunatic, and that's a benefit in today's Demo-Socialist Electorate.
What do you think, Coyote? Anybody?
Your opinion on this would be much appreciated.

Oddly, I saw no mention of the Jews, the Holocaust or benefiting from it. Too bad you never studied Logic to understand that is a fallacy of reasoning.That is a grotesque claim to make right up there with claiming Jews benefited from the Holocaust.You werent there and you were never a slave.

The fact is that it is disingenuous to apply 21st century standards to 17th century acts as these are two worlds apart, just as it is disingenuous to say that no slaves ever were compensated for their service in food, housing and many other things including owning slaves themselves! Or didn't you know that some high ranking slaves were allowed to own low ranking ones? Just as not all slaves suffered torture, premature death, rape and family separation. Meantime, many other people have suffered these things without ever being slaves!Centuries of unpaid labor, premayure death, torture, rape and forced family seperation is difficult to conceive of as beneficial. They certainly saw none of tbe economic benefits of their labor and attempts to rise were squashed under the weight of Jim Crowe.
Which is exactly why you ought to STFU while you're still ahead.You werent there and you were never a slave. Black people today have benefitted the most from slavery.

Nobody wants to hear ignorance from a race of people who have been given everything by the government.

Native Americans do get reparations, and if you check the Cobell v. Salazar case you will see that they have recently received formal reparations.
Whites have got to get out of this selfish mindset that has them thinking that something creates resentment or is divisive only if they don't like it. Do you not think that it is divisive for us to know that we were robbed of trillions and that money is how whites have the advantages they live on today? Do you not think that creates resentment because we continue to be disadvantaged because of what was done and whites are still benefitting only because of their color?
It's just time whites stopped repeating race pimped junk. The wealth made from slavery compounded over the years and the apartheid after slavery further compounded the wealth. Whites today have benefitted from racist policies implemented at every level of government.
The Amazing Resiliency of White Wealth - CityLab
Systematic Inequality - Center for American Progress
The economic impact of closing the racial wealth gap | McKinsey
We as blacks have paid for all of American history for things that have only benefitted whites. It took an act of congress called the Community Reinvestment Act for banks with branches in black communities, or in towns where blacks put money in those banks, to invest in black communities and that was in 1977. Still today black tax dollars are put in city,state and federal coffers and black communities do not get back what we put in while we watch white communities take all the money.
People here talk about Chicago and Baltimore yet these are prime examples. The white donor class rules public policy in Chicago. Martin O'Malley decided redevelopment of the harbor was apriority and the black community could kick rocks because of wealthy white business concerns. We had to force the capital city of our state to change it's funding to include programs and community development in the black community.
So it's time the argument of I am forced to pay for something I had no part in, or who feel one group of people are getting something special solely based on skin color, that is denied to others to end. Because we as blacks have been forced to do this since 7-4-1776.

Slavery is something that existed since the dawn of man, was a universal practice and has been essentially outlawed for centuries now, meantime its modern evolved equivalent continues on in the form of economic and social slavery for many, even if they are not ostensibly "owned" as property. The only real remedy is to go out and live well.
It's a well-known fact that many more white folk get even more extremely wealthy today off the backs of white workers! And Black, red and yellow too!).It's a known fact that many white folk got extremely wealthy off the backs of black workersYou werent there and you were never a slave.

I try to pay as little attention as possible to:You must not pay much attention to the antisemites that infest this place.
Nope. Never meant to imply that anyone was supposed to /benefit/ from it other than those that practiced it, just that it was the norm of the day, had been the norm throughout history, and was universally practiced in some form by almost every nation, race and people! Even other blacks! And in a sense, still goes on today. That said, slavery was horrible for many, not as bad for some and actually pretty good for a few. A huge injustice -- -- -- -- to go along with about 100,000,000,000 other huge injustices suffered historically by mankind, individually, collectively, nationally, geographically and racially throughout human history!So argument is that because SOME slaves had it marginally better than majority of slaves...blacks benefited?
That white boy truck serves a purpose. Its a 4x4 meant for "mudding". Having gigantic wheels with super low profile tires serves absolutely no purpose other than being an eye sore.This is in WV. We are are a very white state. This is a white boy truck. One of many.Nah, if reparations were paid, your car would look like this the next day. This is why we dont want Harris or Booker as president. Your cars are eye sores and therefore bad for the country.If reparations were paid tomorrow I would direct my part to be put in a fund dedicated to rebuilding black communities.

Yawn! You don't see any blacks driving bigfoots.
I understand that you're scared of blacks getting complete equality. But when we get reparations if you need a job in my business, I'll hire you.
