The Dead End of Reparations - Why it is a Very Bad Idea

[Ms. Turquoise]

Thank you all for the entertainment. I enjoyed visiting your trailer homes. See ya later.

Whites have been able to keep much of the wealth they made off slavery haven't they? The foundation of this country's wealth was made off of African slaves.

I feel sorry for you. My family came to America dirt poor to work in coal mines. Jobs very few people wanted and were dangerous. What freaking wealth are you talking about? If you are so poor then how can you afford a computer? There are countries in Africa that would give a right arm to live in America. The Poverty is Africans impoverishing Africans. How do you explain all the black millionaires and billionaires in America.

I say good for them. Maybe you should work hard like they did to get their money.

How much wealth was made off of unskilled slave labor? Link?

Most of that wealth was lost when the North destroyed the South's economy.

Back to the projects, eh?

Go read "The Half Has Never Been Told" by Edward E. Baptist. It's an excellent book about the enslavement of Africans in the USA.

After they get their big reparations bucks$$, what will they say about Democrats' plans to raise taxes on the rich ? About Democrat soft-on-crime policies ? Uh oh.

 

[AZrailwhale]

OK. Then let's make parental responsibility retroactive. Let's investigate all the White men who fathered babies by African slave women. How can we make those White guys pay for their children?

Invent a time machine?

 

[MizMolly]

I wonder why certain folks never quote this line from MLK? They always quote the line "judge us by the content of our character and not the color of our skin"? They don't like to talk about the money they owe us.

Because “they” don’t owe you.

They are dead

More whites get welfare than blacks in the USA.

Not true. Even though there are more white people than black.
Number of Americans receiving welfare assistance: 110,489,000
Number of Americans receiving food stamps: 41,700,000
Number of Americans on unemployment insurance: 10,200,000
Percentage of the US population on welfare: 35.4%
Total government spending on welfare annually: $131.9 billion

So how many Blacks vs whites?

Well, believe it or not, the numbers are actually about the same. There are just about as many whites on welfare as there are Blacks.

Percent of welfare recipients who are white: 38.8%
Percent of welfare recipients who are black: 39.8%

(Note: Many people confuse these statistics. This does not mean that 38.8% of all white Americans, and 39.8% of all Black Americans are on welfare. It means that 39.8% of all the actual welfare recipients are Black, and 38.8% of all the welfare recipients are white.)

And contrary to popular belief, a lot less immigrants are on welfare.

Percent of welfare recipients who are Hispanic: 15.7%
Percent of welfare recipients who are Asian: 2.4%
Percent of welfare recipients who are Other: 3.3%

Finally, The Truth About Welfare — How Many Blacks Vs. How Many Whites

Most Black people believe that more whites are on welfare, and most white people that more Blacks are on welfare. So who's right?

you can't summarize?

I don't know, but go for it. I won't disagree with fathers paying their fair share of support. Go after all the black ones too right? Demofks don't give two shits about blacks. They always are out at election time and then disappear right after. still no plantation relief to inner city blacks after the election cycles. Was, rinse, repeat.

Isn't it odd that the chest pounders never check their stats out before they publish their misinformation. Fking hilarious. Thank you for the info.

Reparations were always stupid and nothing but political pandering. It's all about blacks. No reparations for Native Americans. No reparations for other minorities. No reparations for imprisoned Japanese. No reparations for women. No reparations for the disabled or vets. But, once more, California will make promises to blacks and then pull the rug out from under their feet.

No, it's all about votes. Demofks think if they just say it, they win all the black vote. Not totally untrue, but it is that fact they do it.

 

[jc456]

For...?

Are you saying blacks didn't receive reparations after the war?

 

[Ms. Turquoise]

I don't know, but go for it. I won't disagree with fathers paying their fair share of support. Go after all the black ones too right? Demofks don't give two shits about blacks.

That's about to change as soon as we get our reparations. Don't you just hate it?

 

[hadit]

African-Americans are the only demographic in this country who were subjected to legalized slavery. Reparations are due to the descendants of enslaved Africans. Nothing you said in the OP justifies us not receiving our reparations. And we have NOT been compensated already.

Here's the problem with your case. There are white people walking around in the US who are descendants of slaves. All it takes is one freed slave having a child with a white person for that to happen, and you know it did. Then there are black people in America who are NOT descendants of slaves. You would see white people getting reparations money while black people do not.

How long before the riots break out?

The person applying for reparation must have lived as a BLACK PERSON for 10 years prior to applying for reparations. That's one of the rules.
What else ya got?

"lived as a black person?" What the fuck does that mean?

Amazing to see that many Whites on welfare after they had such a big head start compared to Blacks.

There should be VERY few Whites on welfare. Whites have never faced chattel slavery, Jim Crow, oppression the way Blacks have. Whites on welfare have wasted a good head start.
