Reparations

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

It is the argument. Learn to think!

Translation - "Yes, I stuck my foot in my mouth, but I won't admit it."

Have a nice day.

Wrong OP, the government is who pays, not individuals.

Who funds the govt?

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Anyway, I never owned any slaves so Im not participating in this scam. Anybody on the board own any?

 

[Rigby5]

there was slavery ALL OVER THE WORLD for
thousands of YEARS

Slavery used to be different.
For example, Greeks would sell themselves or their children into Roman slavery, in order to gain an education or other vocational skills. Then they would buy themselves out of slavery.
Slavery originally started as a way of dealing with criminals when you did not have prisons.
Rarely was it racial or done on the scale of the US south, cotton plantations.

List all the slaves alive today.

So you're agreeing that reparations were owed to living slaves, correct?

I do.
I own 5 properties I rent out.

The government doesn't have squat without taxpayers

Depends on what you allow the gov to do.
If it can invest in the means of production, like Sweden does with Volvo, then the gov can earn its own profits.

This is going to be like winning the lottery.......again! You can almost see hundreds of millions of DNA tests. we will all be brothers. Truthfully there are going to be people with African blood in them not in on it and they will not be happy. Meanwhile in China....the New rising empire is taking hold!

If you are paid too little to invest and have expenses increasing faster than pay scale, then you are an economic slave.
For example, real estate tends to double in value every decade.
That means rents double.
But mortgage payments do not and remain the same for the life of the mortgage, whether it is 10 year or 30 year.
So those with enough capital to start with, automatically end up owning the income of those they rent to.
That really is unearned, unfair, and inappropriate.
It is landlord speculation by the wealthy that drives housing to be unaffordable to the average worker.

If your mother owned a diamond purchased for
$1000 35 years ago and she leaves it to you----
and you sell it for $20,000 ---do I have a right to
demand that you give me $1900 ? I had a
diamond once----it was stolen because I lived on
the edge of DA HOOOD

Um, so the fuck what?

I note you didn't bring a single name of a slave who is alive today.

Where is your list?

Try not to dodge with another pathetic deflection.

Stay in Sweden.

You agree that reparation are owed to living slaves.

Dude, another pathetic deflection.
Bring your list of slaves who are still alive.

 

[john doe 101]

LOL. They talk about it all the time. They want to do a study. California is on the verge of actually doing it.

So where in the article does it say reparations is part of the Dem platform?

 

[MarcATL]

there was slavery ALL OVER THE WORLD for
thousands of YEARS

And this excuses America how exactly?

 

[MarcATL]

Thank you for conceding my point.

 

[Unkotare]

How are you defining "America" in this context?
