Zone1 Reparations are coming and there is nothing you can do to stop it

[IM2]

Dude. We are against it. Get used to it. We don't live in left coast California. And that is on purpose.

Then you better start doing some research annd quick. becauuse you're going to get shown the triilllions whites were given by the government we were excluded from. And by the tiime that is done any white person opposing reparations is going to look like the racists that they really are.. You and those like you seeem to think we're just asking for money for no reason. And no matter how much you iidiots are shown evidence of what was done after slavery or how much blacks have been robbed IN THIS CENTURY, you iidiots keep talking about slavery.

Dude, get used to it,, because it is noot stopping in California.. Your state prracticed Jim Crow too.

California introduces first-in-nation slavery reparations package​

California state lawmakers introduced a slate of reparations bills on Wednesday, including a proposal to restore property taken by “race-based” cases of eminent domain and a potentially unconstitutional measure to provide state funding for “specific groups.”

The package marks a first-in-the-nation effort to give restitution to Black Americans who have been harmed by centuries of racist policies and practices. California’s legislative push is the culmination of years of research and debate, including 111-pages of recommendations issued last year by a task force.

Not included is any type of financial compensation to descendants of Black slaves, a polarizing proposal that has received a cool response from many state Democrats, including Gov. Gavin Newsom.

“While many only associate direct cash payments with reparations, the true meaning of the word, to repair, involves much more,” Assemblymember Lori Wilson, chair of the caucus, said in a statement. “We need a comprehensive approach to dismantling the legacy of slavery and systemic racism.”

My ancestry is polish but under Belarus rule when they, surfs, were set free.
Not only no reparations but no opertunities.

Belarus is not America. Poles were not slaves in America. So you're being disingenous.

Many people claim to have suffered like blacks. Native Americans have a legitimate claim based on the genocide committed by the Americangovernment. Chinese were prevented from coming here by written law. Japanese were put into interment camps. Hispanics have suffered from beatings, were cheated out of income and endured the use of chemical agents on members of their population by the government. But since you want to tell me what I should get over.

Here it is important to understand how, exactly, Americans‘become white’. The history of Polish-Americans is an illuminating example. Upon arriving in the U.S. en masse in the late 19th and early 20th century, Poles endured discrimination based on their appearance, religion and culture. In 1903, the New England Magazine decried the Poles’ “expressionless Slavic faces” and “stunted figures” as well as their inherent “ignorance” and “propensity to violence”. Working for terrible wages, Polish workers were renamed things like “Thomas Jefferson” by their bigoted Anglo-Saxon bosses who refused to utter Polish names.

But then something changed. In 1919, Irish gangs in blackface attacked Polish neighborhoods in Chicago in an attempt to convince Poles, and other Eastern European groups, that they, too, were “white” and should join them in the fight against blacks. As historian David R. Roediger recalls, “Poles argued that the riot was a conflict between blacks and whites, with Poles abstaining because they belonged to neither group.” But the Irish gangs considered whiteness, as is often the case in America, as anti-blackness. And as in the early 20th century Chicago experienced an influx not only of white immigrants from Europe, but blacks from the South, white groups who felt threatened by black arrivals decided that it would be politically advantageous if the Poles were considered white as well..

With that new white identity came the ability to practice the discrimination they had once endured. Over time, the strategy of positioning Poles as “white” against a dark-skinned “other” was successful. Poles came to consider themselves white, and more importantly, they came to be considered white by their fellow Americans, as did Italians,Greeks, Jews, Russians, and others from Southern and Eastern Europe, all of whom held an ambivalent racial status in U.S. society.

How do you become “white” in America?

Trump has retweeted white supremacist groups and has the backing of the Ku Klux Klan. He uses whiteness as a weapon, and his candidacy on a major party ticket threatens to put the country back some 200 years. What does Trump’s vision of whiteness mean for a diverse country like the U.S.?

The Polish were white and as whites they benefited from everything every other white ppersoon benefited from in America..

California Style Reparations ( Honorary with no Money )

 

[IM2]

I see that the usual suspcts have posted.. Go do some researchto find out just how much whhites were given by the government during Jim Cows and understand that was money blacks were excluded from getting. That money built the white middle of class.

 

[el midgetron]

Any reparations would involve more than cutting checks.

Not included is any type of financial compensation to descendants of Black slaves,

Todd nailed it.

This is just garbage funding to the same garbage programs the Democrats have used to keep black people, ignorant, poor and incarcerated for the past 60 years. Power up the plantation!

 

[el midgetron]

Heck, I just ask one simple question about how much in reparations will Kamala Harris get and IM2 ran for the hills!

“Reparations” is just old fashioned strong-arming. It’s a racket. At some point we will see mostly-peaceful reparation “protests”. Those protests will require a pretext, like a DEI “9/11”. At this point it could be something as simple as an obscure celebrity promoting color-blindness or a public misgendering.

 

[BackAgain]

Reparations are deservedly DOA.

You are horrible example to black youth.

According to who? Some white bigot online? Because it's damn sure not according to black youth. You come to my town and talk that shit to the black men/women who I worked with when they were youth and you'll get cussed out. And why do you say that? Do you labor under the great white delusion of grandeur whereby your ancestors came over here with nothinng and miraculously made it big?

How decades of US welfare policies lifted up the white middle class and largely excluded Black Americans​

• Researchers agree that white Americans greatly benefited from New Deal programs and post-World War II policy, while Black Americans were discriminated against; then, when Black Americans started to access welfare benefits at a higher rate starting in the 1970s, there was backlash among conservatives.
• These policies have had a cumulative effect over generations and help explain the massive wealth gap between Black and white Americans and the reason Black Americans are overrepresented in welfare programs.

In fact, far more white people have benefited from US welfare programs over the years — reflecting their greater share of the population — while Black people and other people of color have been denied them in various ways, multiple historians and researchers tell Business Insider.

State and local governments administered almost all federal New Deal programs, and many of these state and local government leaders, especially in the South, were virtually all white ... and racist," Gary Orfield, a professor of education, law, political science, and urban planning at the University of California at Los Angeles, told Business Insider.

The Federal Housing Administration was created in this era, with the goal of creating affordable housing for as many Americans as possible. But local interpretation of this mission resulted in "redlining," a policy in which mortgage credit was denied in majority-Black neighborhoods.

The FHA continued to encourage racist policies into the postwar era, when the American suburbs were being built. In 1948, the Supreme Court outlawed "restrictive covenants" — a clause that essentially prevented Black Americans from buying property from white owners — yet the FHA still encouraged builders to write them into their agreements well past 1948, according to Orfield.

White veterans of World War II were given zero-down-payment, 30-year guaranteed mortgages under the GI Bill.

"With zero cash, you, white veterans, could get into owning a brand-new home," Orfield told Business Insider. "That door was not open for Black and Latinos."

A house someone bought at the time for $12,000 or $15,000 in mortgage payments, he said, might be worth $300,000 decades later.

"That's a gigantic wealth creator and a gigantic middle-class escalator," he said, one Black Americans missed out on and couldn't pass along to their children.

Welfare reform greatly benefited Black Americans — and was almost immediately unpopular for it​

One of the largest government programs in the post-New Deal era, President Lyndon B. Johnson's "Great Society" sought to remedy the racial wealth gap. During the 1960s, the median Black family income rose 53%, while Black employment doubled in professional, technical, and clerical occupations, and average Black educational attainment increased by four years, University of Houston history professors write. The proportion of Black people below the poverty line went from 55% in 1960 to just 27% by 1968.

Even at the height of the Great Society, Black Americans constituted only about 27% of all welfare recipients, according to Sundiata Keita Cha-Jua, an associate history professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Most recipients were white Americans.

But as the anti-discriminatory practices from Johnson's presidency were enforced and Black Americans were allowed to participate in new benefit programs, there was a dramatic shift in public perception about government subsidies — to the negative.

"Public assistance was not as demonized until African Americans began to exercise their right to use it, ironically," Schram said. "And that's when welfare started to be seen as this inferior program for nonwhite people who didn't play by the white middle-class rules of work and family."

You guys have lied to yourselves about this for decades and it's based on straight up, old fashioned white race hustling..

 

[IM2]

Because any black youth under your tutelage has been poisoned and will never learn to walk alone.

When have whites walked alone?

Never. So shut up.

 

[el midgetron]

So how much will Kamala Harris get in Reparations?

The answer is “all of it, Jack”. She will piss it all away on sleeping-her-way into politics and pretending to be black.

 

[el midgetron]

When have whites walked alone?

Never. So shut up.

When you see only one set of footprints, that’s when whites were carrying you.

Do you labor under the great white delusion of grandeur whereby your ancestors came over here with nothinng and miraculously made it big?

Nope. Some did ok, some not so much.
As I have told you, it's a class system not a color issue.
None were able to crawl into the upper class. That is closed to all of any color.
My wife did the right thing and wound up with a great job on the 45th floor of JP Morgan on Madison Ave.

I supported actively placing blacks ahead of whites in the work place. That is no longer needed. We all deserve an equal playing field. White men went last my entire adult life. When is it enough?
To get cash and land because of your skin color, not so much.
That is worth fighting over. There is no issue I feel stronger about. I am sick of black and female victimization.
White males have made all the sacrifices in your lifetime for you, your race. Enough. All is as equal as it can be now.

 

[noonereal]

When have whites walked alone?

Never. So shut up.

Hey, I get it. Blacks were brought up to belive whites had advantages and no facts will shake that belief.
It's the same with religion. Teach a kid about anything at home for years and they grow up believing it.
Your are poison to who you love most, your youth.

Why the U.S. Government Is Paying Half a Billion in Settlements to 17 Tribal Governments​

That adds to 95 cases the U.S. has settled with native groups since 2012

The Interior and Justice Departments announced earlier this week in a press release that U.S. government has reached an agreement with 17 tribal governments across the nation to pay $492 million for mismanaging money and natural resources held in trust for the benefit of native people.

According to Rebecca Hersher at NPR, the settlement caps a four-year push by the Obama administration to resolve more than 100 lawsuits brought against the government by indigenous people claiming the Interior Department did not have their best interests at heart while managing lands in their names.

According to the Department of the Interior, it manages almost 56 million acres of trust lands for federally recognized native people including 100,000 leases on those lands for housing, logging, farming, easements and oil and gas drilling. The agency also manages 2,500 native trust accounts.

“The government bought the land from Indians, but it didn't pay the Indians,” staff attorney with the Native American Rights Fund Melody McCoy, who handled 13 of the cases just settled, tells Hersher. “The U.S. government would say it held the assets in trusts benevolently, for the protection of Indian lands and money. The flip side of that is that in exchange, the government was supposed to be a good trustee, and it wasn’t. Land was not managed well. Money and resources were not managed well.”

These most recent settlements are part of a much longer effort to address tribal lawsuits by the government. In 2009, the government settled what turned out to be an epic, 13-year-long class-action lawsuit, paying $3.4 billion to Native American plaintiffs claiming the 1887 Dawes Act and other actions cheated them out of decades of income.
