We aren’t exactly talking about human history of the world. There are still people alive today who lived through Jim Crow and systemic discrimination through our laws. That’s worth a serious debate about how to rectify don’t you think?
I don’t think money is a significant factor in this debate so I’m going to challenge your debt talk if you bring it up.
I'm Israelite. I expect reparations from those of African ancestry living in The USA. THEY think Egypians were black, so blacks owe me!
No I shouldn’t. I also don’t think that is an accurate comparison to this situation

Perhaps it's time to rid ourselves of a few government funded programs. Programs such as Affirmative Action and other things meant to supposedly make reparations to specific minority groups are pretty vague in my humble opinion. The blacks site that it's reparations for slavery and things that happened to violate their civil rights since that time. However today is not then and since then there have been a large number of new immigrants who have no justification to claim such reparations just because they happen to be from Africa and elsewhere.
In what way do the American people owe "reparations" or Affirmative Action to people who immigrated here after the Civil War, much less after the Civil Rights Acts of the 50's and 60's, just because a person has dark skin?
If these programs are meant as reparations and such then the person applying for said programs should have to prove that their families were citizens of the United States during those times.
Additionally if there are immigrants who have used these programs then they should be required to return said money to the United States with interest.

I said in another post, that since it was Democrats who owned slave, Democrats that fought to keep them slave, and Democrats after slavery was abolished, terrorized the ex-slaves, that it should be every Democrat Voter who should be taxed $1000 a year to pay for the reparations to those who were descendants were slave, but also the descendants of the white soldiers that fought to free the slaves. If that doesnt get the fucking moronic Democrats to shut up about reparations I dont know what would.
youre white so you get NOTHING,,,
now sit down and shut up!!!
never said I wanted reparations, my great grandfather came from Scotland, so I have no skin in the game.
liberal logic says since your white somewhere along the way you oppressed someone
Dont forget the high paid slaves of the NFL whose owners abuse them by making them play 60 minutes of gladiatorial combat, but have all the benefits and some...
Not really.
Did you have to deal with a century a Jim Crow laws?

Yeah I sure did, my black friends were oppressed when I told them all about investing in stocks, and now they own their own businesses and are quite wealthy. I love that type of oppression...
And it's been a half-century since those Jim Crow laws were set aside.
No, I am oppressing them, I invite them over to my house, and we sit there drinking Remi Martin's while discussing stock options. Very tolling work there.
I’m not in favor of blanket reparations. I’m open to hearing ideas and responding to them. I think affirmative action was a good idea in the 60s and 70s following the civil rights act, which I support as well. There were generations of people that were held back and restricted of opportunity for employment and education by our laws. It makes sense to provide a balancing factor to make up for that in order to right the scales. Not forever but for a period of time. Do you agree?
Do you think affirmative action was a good thing following the civil rights act? Do you think the civil rights act was a good thing?
