Reparations for blacks?

[Superbadbrutha]

Because the stories are the truth.

There is no truth anywhere in that garbage.

And I’m about as far from a racist as anyone you will ever meet. In the extremely integrated ghetto I grew up in, racists of any color didn’t survive to grow up. We all learned early that trash comes in all colors and creeds and as do good people.

Now you grew up in the ghetto, the plot thickens.

But, despite leading a significant portion of the nation's businesses, minority-owned firms are still having a much harder time accessing small business loans than their white counterparts. Minority-owned firms aremuch less likely to be approved for small business loans than white-owned firms. And, even if they do get approved, minority-owned firms are more likely to receive lower amounts and higher interest rates. According to findings from the U.S. Department of Commerce Minority Business Development Agency, these discrepancies have made minority business owners more likely to not apply for small business loans, usually out of fear of rejection.

And as those articles will point out, it hasn't anything to do with race, but it has more to do with their current financial situation and not the color of their skin.

The article below (and I don't know how accurate the numbers are) so take it with a grain of salt show that the avg Credit Score for young black adults
is 582 while whites is 687.

Your credit score is based on your history to repay a loan or a contractual agreement. It has nothing to do with the color of your skin. If your credit rating is 582, which is very poor, that is on the person, it has nothing to do with anything or anyone else. So the question should be, why is the black community so poor at handling their personal financials? Live within your means, pay your bills. Simple.

Young Adults’ Credit Trajectories Vary Widely by Race and Ethnicity

Bold solutions that address the root causes of structural racism are needed to address credit disparities among young adults.

Can you define fair please. I touched on fairness in a previous post and would like to know your thoughts.

Reparations for blacks?

Another right wing lie. Funny how every white racist has a story to tell. Let me get this straight, someone provides a thought and suggestion, but it's immediately a lie. You could instead ask for a program name, ask for examples, as for details, etc. But know, you call it a lie and shut the...

Superbadbrutha, I think a definition(s) of fairness would be fair to the conversation.
I say that because "Fair" can be a very broad term with many definitions. It would help define the context of the conversation.

The question now becomes, if the taxpayers in California are fleeced for $360 thousand per black resident, will blacks stop stealing?

That's a tragedy, no doubt, but that does not rise to being awarded reparations.
The federal government was not part of that

I asked for a link to your argument, not a random website. Are you even the creator of the website? What does that link have to do with what I asked you for you Dipshit?

Dude, you're all over the place. You asked where on the internet, I gave you the site on the internet where you could
look at the 14th amendment. The 14th amendment is what the SC will rule with against reparations.

The rest of your BS is just trying to muck up the topic at hand. Who IS the dipshit....dipshit? It's you, and a
pathetic attempt to confuse a discussion.

You clown, I can read the 14 amendment just fine myself. My question to you is what part of the 14th Amendment you think supports your argument and why? And its pretty clear the Dipshit and Coward is you for continuing to dodge this very simple question.

If you can't comprehend what the 14th Amendment is stating, I can't fix your kind of stupid, Mr. Curried goats.
Nobody is dodging anything. You want to act stupid, go for it.

I can understand the 14th just fine and it in no way makes reparations unconstitutional. If you're too much of a Dipshit and a coward to explain why you think it does, I can't help you. I can only point and laugh.

Sure it does, for the simple fact that the Federal Gov't stood by and did NOTHING.

It's just not the same as those examples that I had given earlier, SBB.
The feds were hands on and to those people who had actually endured the land
confiscation.

Slavery was the Law, Jim Crow was the Law. The Law stood by and did NOTHING to protect her citizens of color who were being attacked. It is definitely the same.

You have a right to your opinion on this, and I'm not arguing that. But this is apples and oranges.
The Japanese who lost their property and were placed in internment camps, were awarded reparations.
Those Eskimoes who lost their land on the Island were compensated by the Canadian government.
It wasn't generations later.

Wonder how much the cartels will end up getting from this?

Exactly. These people trying to get money they don’t deserve are only pretending not to understand that the Japanese who directly lost their property and were rewarded reparations…..the Eskimoes who directly lost their land and were awarded reparations….the Jews who directly lost their land, property, health, etc., and were rewarded compensation, etc., are not comparable to blacks who were never slaves getting compensation.

Otherwise, Egypt needs to pay the Jews reparations.

ALMOST EVERYBODY HAS ANCESTORS WHO WERE SLAVES

In response to the article on the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America (July 24): I believe we all should seek reparations. Let's begin about 1100 B.C. when

Maybe blacks in this country will use the money to free the over 9 million slaves that CURRENTLY exist on the African continent.

Well ghetto is as good as a name as any, barrio works as well. You name the race and ethnicity and we had it there.

That's the problem, black slaves should have been taken care of right after the Civil War. That wasn't done, why?

Black folks who came through Jim Crow should have been taken care of in the early 70s. That wasn't done, why?

All the atrocities that black folks have suffered in this country, America has never paid people of color restitution for that wrong doing, why?

Are you telling me if Japanese-Americans suffered in internment camps for 4yrs were rewarded reparations, that black folks who have suffered for almost 400yrs are not.

It isn't just about land.

Sorry, but today’s black folks have not suffered for 400 years, or even 40. And they have had reparations given for over 40 years by being placed in prestigious universities and grad programs for which they got in due to skin color.

And beyond that, your reparations are being born into a country of wonderful opportunities, and for whom taxpayers provide funding to attend career training after college. You are actually quite lucky.
