Why don't you tell me? It's your life, isn't it? All I've told you (over and over) is to BE a man and take some personal responsibility.
OK. So how do I be a man and take some personal responsiblity ?
You could stop begging and whining. That would be a start.Unkotare
You really have no idea? Consider the fact that no one reading this forum has EVER seen you take responsibility for ANYTHING in your life. Would you say that's accurate?
For the 2nd time.

What should black people do ?Listen carefully, moron. When I use the pronoun "you," I mean it in the second person singular unless otherwise specified. Do YOU have a question that is not based on a false premise?
I want to know how they are going to determine who gets reparations. Most of the POC in the US today have no actual connection to slavery. Should Barack Obama get reparations--his mother was white and his father was Kenyan--No slavery connection. Someone who emigrated from Nigeria or S. Africa in 1974--no slavery connection. This is a boondoggle--40 acres and a mule pretty much covered it when it was clear who was eligible and who is just looking for something for nothing.As divisive as this is, it's unlikely to ever happen, but even if it were to move forward it's unconstitutional on its face.
Despite the enormity of the task behind the legislation known as H.R. 40 — named for the "40 acres and a mule" that has come to symbolize the post-Civil War government's failure to help formerly enslaved people — the bill has new political momentum since its last introduction in 2019, when the GOP controlled the White House and Senate. The nationwide protests last summer following George Floyd’s killing have raised public awareness of racial injustice and kick-started a national conversation that advocates for a reparations dialogue see as valuable.

I've just highlighted the main points.
protectionist
Black people did not build squat. They picked cotton in a relatively small part of the USA. Overall, they contributed very little to the buildup of America. You are deeply DUPED, and it is obvious.
protectionist
Black people do NOT need reparations, you leech.
Black Americans built the entire wealth of this nation that YOU now enjoy. Also Reparations was also given to the HEIRS of the Japanese who we’re interned. So the same should be done for the heirs of Black American slaves
Native Americans already receive payments. In fact the Treaty of 1866 states that some Native American tribes are supposed to share their payments with descendants of Black freedmen. So they owe blk ppl MORE on top of slave reparations and on the Trail of Tears 30% of the people on that trail to Oklahoma were Black
protectionist
They have Affirmative Action,
protectionist
The "federal government" of the 1860s made nothing from black labor. Individual plantation owners made the money, and it wasn't free for them. The slaves got paid in FOOD, CLOTHING, HOUSING, & MEDICAL CARE. Some even got recreational items ( ex, fiddles & banjos)
The evidence is clear. Slavery was merely a big part of a system of white supremacy (e.g. Slavery, Jim Crow, redlining, etc.) that explicitly and overtly benefitted whites economically, socially and legally well into the 1970s. So, so what your family never owned slaves. They certainly benefitted from the system that was, and still largely is, in place.
Europeam Americans did not suffer from hundreds of years of slavery - Because they were White.
Europeam Americans could vote by the 1860s, not the 1960s – Because they were White.
Europeam Americans qualified for the Homestead Act, the G.I. Bill and FHA loans – Because they were White.
Europeam Americans could live in nice neighbourhoods and go to nice schools – Because they were White.
And after short time in the states Europeam Americans like the Irish and italians were rioting against blacks (as with the New York draft riots during the Civil War) and joining in the barring of blacks from labor unions, opposing school desegregation, and seeking to become white by assimilating to the white WASP system that was firmly in place.
The wealth of the USA and the western world was built on exploiting black labour and later systematic racism to trap black people into being a never ending labor, consumer and prison class of people. The Homestead Act gave whites free land which they passed down generationally all the while bombing any attempt at black economic empowerment (Black wall street and Tulsa)
protectionist
The Holocuast survivors DESERVED to get reparations from Germany. They suffered immensely. American blacks have suffered NOTHING, and quite the contrary, have ENJOYED benefits from Affirmative Action.
BLACK SOCIETY'S TOP PRIORITY IS ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
Black progress is measured in dollars. If black people as a group got more dollars then we are moving in the right direction. No hand picked blk ppl like Oprah. Either we all coming up or we are all going down. The black economic structure needs to be controlled by black ppl. If we are not holders of capital. If we are not able to finance things at an unlimited global and universal level then the system is failing.
White supremacists may hate us because we are black but they are able to victimise us because we are poor and as long as we remain poor we remain easy victims.
After WW2 Japan was bombed. The USA rebuilt Japan to 20th century specifications and now uses it as one of their puppet states. Japan was given a Marshall plan with clear goals to rebuild it to become an industrial player. The same needs to be done for black business development because white and non black people control the economy of every single black neigbourhood in America.
But there is not single white neighbourhood in the world were black ppl control white ppl's economy.
Black economic empowerment is the foundation.
protectionist
4. making their hair look like a worn out mop doesn't affect white people. It affects blacks, by making them less acceptable to everyone, including employers (including black employers). And they need to pull their pants up too. Idiots.
Racism is nothing do with what black people do.
Barack Obama was everything white people said blk ppl should be. He was smart, succesful, educated, obeyed the law, had no kids out of wedlock, no sagging pants, spoke in a way that was acceptable to whites, raised his kids, looked after his family, loved his wife, never cheated, mowed the lawn, not on welfare and say what ever about his presidency or polices but Obama personally ?
There was not 1% of personal scandal on that guy.
Now did that stop him from him from getting racism ?
No.
So lets cut the crap.
