I am called a racist by IM2 for the "crime" of my declaring that I will never pay reparations due to the fact that my Family ancestors never owned slaves, never supported slavery, never supported segregation.
I consider him a race hater because of it, since I personally haven't done anything bad to other races he hates me because I am white.
Reparations are paid by the government, not by individual citizens, for policies, laws, etc. that caused harm to specific groups of people.
Think of it as a class action. Not everyone in the class may have been individually harmed but the fact that they are a member of the certified class entitles them to compensation for the wrong committed against the class as a whole.
IM2 is not a race hater although he has little patience for white racists including those who deny they are racists while making derogatory and racist comments about about black people.
I have no knowledge of whether or not you fall into that category, I haven't seen anything to support that but again I haven't been looking so I have no reason to believe otherwise.
You are very different from IM2, you at least try to discuss the topic without a lot of anger thrown at me, and reply reasonably, thank you.
Where does the government get the money? if they don't use their FIAT money process, otherwise it IS from the taxpayers themselves, who are also the same people who elect those people into office in the first place.
No reparations will never happen because no blacks today have been a slave and have been free for almost 60 years which means except for the oldest generation (who could qualify) has NEVER tasted segregation either.
I have been telling the truth all along about my family history and myself as well.
The white privilege argument is dishonest and unfair since that is a blanket statement against all whites, while many whites don't do racist stuff at all. It is this divisive talk that can only backfire on those who push this crap.
I was born white and automatically guilty as being white is galaxy class stupid, that is the crap IM2 and other push, it is self defeating because that is the ULTIMATE racist statement to make.
If this blatant racist attack continues, it will erode MY interest, since being chronically attacked for just being born white will only create enmity.
