Can't disagree with this!Oh, we don't care what excuse some urban thug uses for his pathology. If he does that, he's going to prison. For the rest of his life. We might even start bringing back the death penalty.
You see, a lot of white people were pretty sympathetic after Career Criminal George Floyd was murdered. I saw white kids in my suburb wearing BLM tee shirts in 2020.
They aren't wearing them now, are they? The Reform Prosecutors are being thrown out on their asses.
No one is giving you reparations. Deal with it. Start working on solving your own problems. You can start by looking at what Asian people are doing right and emulating that.
Democrats who dangle the possibility of reparations before Negroes are foolish. Talk of reparations arouses hostility toward Negroes and Democrats.It seems to me that "reparations" is nothing more than feel-good talk that Democrats dangle in front of the descendants of Black African slaves in order to get their votes, in the vain expectation that some sort of massive payments will be forthcoming.
It says nothing good about either the Democrats or the Black folks to cling to these silly lies.
Systemic Racism is the current excuse for black failure when there is no evidence of discrimination.Can't disagree with this!
Also the problem, there is no guarantee, that the Black community will stop using "Systemic Racism" as a crutch. The fear that they will continue to move the goal posts time and time again is absolutely plausible.

The average black IQ is 85. The average white IQ is 100. That is all you need to know about the high rate of black poverty.

White Americans? If this looney tunes proposal ever come to pass which of course it won't, you're going to have a lot of pissed off Hispanics too.It seems that the concept of reparations is a problem. Apparently that is based on a lack of knowledge about history. Most just reflexively while not really knowing the iinformation that makes the case for reparations. So it appears that an education as to why reparations should be paid needs to happen and included is the information that can and will be used as part of the case.
The opposition to reparations being paid for something that happened 200 years ago is invalid, you will see why in a few seconds.
How we repair it: White Americans’ attitudes toward reparations
The United States is again at a crossroads of racial reckoning. The death of George Floyd and the 2020 summer of protests for racial justice added new urgency to ongoing discussions about the legacy of slavery and its contemporary implications for the lives of Black Americans. A key question at the root of this discussion is: how do we repair the harm – economic, physical, and psychological — caused to Black lives by slavery, Jim Crow, redlining, police brutality, and other manifestations of systemic racism?
The United States has used reparations—targeted initiatives intended to concretely repair a harm against a person or persons resulting from the collective action of others—as a means of acknowledging and atoning for its role in other atrocities, including the internment of Japanese Americans and the forced removal and destruction of six indigenous communities: the Ottawas of Michigan, the Chippewas of Wisconsin, the Seminoles of Florida, the Sioux of South Dakota, the Klamaths of Oregon, and the Alaska Natives.* However, the descendants of Africans enslaved on U.S. soil have been notably absent from this history of reparative actions. While the task of reparations seems daunting to many Americans considering the scale of injustice presented by slavery and its aftermath, we believe this is a conversation the country needs to have.
Given that white Americans gained the most from slavery and its compounded effects — a process referred to as unjust enrichment – is their widespread opposition to reparations rooted in maintaining this advantage?

1970: Richard Nixon signed into law House Resolution 471 restoring Blue Lake and surrounding area to the Taos Pueblo (New Mexico). The land had been taken by presidential order in 1906. (A History of the Indians in the United States by Angie Debo (Norman, OK: University of Oklahoma Press, 1984, p. 422); see also "Taos Pueblo celebrates 40th anniversary of Blue Lake's return" by Matthew van Buren, Santa Fe New Mexican, September 18, 2010.)
The payments from 1971-1988 are taken from the booklet Black Reparations Now! 40 Acres, $50 Dollars, and a Mule, + Interest by Dorothy Benton-Lewis; and borrowed from N’COBRA (National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America).
1971: Around $1 billion + 44 million acres of land: Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act.
1974: A $10 million out-of-court settlement was reached between the U.S. government and Tuskegee victims, black men who had been unwitting subjects of a study of untreated syphilis, and who did not receive available treatments. (“The Tuskegee Timeline”, CDC, updated March 2, 2020.)
1980: $81 million: Klamaths of Oregon. ("Spending Spree" by Dylan Darling, Herald and News (Klamath Falls, OR), June 21, 2005.)
1980: $105 million: Sioux of South Dakota for seizure of their land. (United States v. Sioux Nation of Indians, 448 U.S. 371 (1980).)
1985: $12.3 million: Seminoles of Florida. (see Racial Justice in America: A Reference Handbook by David B. Mustard, 2002, ABC-CLIO, p. 81.)
1985: $31 million: Chippewas of Wisconsin. (see Racial Justice in America: A Reference Handbook by David B. Mustard, 2002, ABC-CLIO, p. 81.)
1986: $32 million per 1836 Treaty: Ottawas of Michigan. (see Racial Justice in America: A Reference Handbook by David B. Mustard, 2002, ABC-CLIO, p. 81.)
2016: The U.S. government reached a settlement of $492 million with 17 Native American tribes to resolve lawsuits alleging the federal government mismanaged tribal land, resources, and money. (“U.S. Government To Pay $492 Million To 17 American Indian Tribes” by Rebecca Hersher, NPR, September 27, 2016.)
2018: The Supreme Court, in a 4-4 deadlock, let stand a lower court's order to the state of Washington to make billions of dollars worth of repairs to roads, where the state had built culverts below road channels and structures in a way that prevented salmon from swimming through and reaching their spawning grounds, that had damaged the state’s salmon habitats and contributed to population loss. The case involved the Stevens Treaties, a series of agreements in 1854-55, in which tribes in Washington State gave up millions of acres of land in exchange for "the right to take fish." Implicit in the treaties, courts would later rule, was a guarantee that there would be enough fish for the tribes to harvest. Destroying the habitat reduces the population and thus violates these treaties. This decision directly affects the Swinomish Tribe. ("A Victory For A Tribe That’s Lost Its Salmon" by John Eligon, The New York Times, June 12, 2018.)
Were any of you alive when those tribes were forcibly removed or cheated?
Whites have received at least 8 handouts and today are asking for more. Therefore you really need to stop with the double standard.Can't disagree with this!
Also the problem, there is no guarantee, that the Black community will stop using "Systemic Racism" as a crutch. The fear that they will continue to move the goal posts time and time again is absolutely plausible.
No, because other groups got reparations and none if this was asked. So just stop demanding things from blacks you asked from no one else.Then the OP should prove any reparation ended racism

Shut up.We agree you should post proper information now you just need to start actually doing it

You can stop that excuse. In the OP I believed that you were shown where the government has paid for things to other groups that happened during the same time period. You're talknig about about a ship sailing and then try telling me about 500,000 whites who died to free me. 500,000 whites didnot give their lives to free me, if the shio yu say sailed that one sailed too. 500,000 whites died to keep Americafrom splittingup. Because after the Civil War, white started Jim Crow in the north and south. You live on the benefiits created by racism and you have benefitted from the programs during Jim Crow that blacks were excluded from. Drop the sad sorry white excuses, they have no merit.You are missing the message. "We" did not fuck you over and that ship sailed.
People belive whatever it is they want to believe.
That is what you are doing. Then you sooth yourself, fool yourself really, by pretending to take an academic approach.
How about the 500,000 white people who gave their life to free you?il
I have never had one black person thank me for that ancestral loss.
There will be more required because YOU don't have a say.. Unless you run for congress.White Americans’ attitudes toward reparations is simply Just Say No. Nothing else required.
The politicians work for the voters, they won’t risk the votes of the 87% to pander to the 13%. Even the hard core liberals know that a vote for reparations would be the end of their career. The 87% DO have a voice and it’s opposed to reparations.There will be more required because YOU don't have a say.. Unless you run for congress.
Well thats nice but then there is this:no, and neither were you, or anyone else reading this.....~S~
