The federal government passed their 1.9 Trillion dollar infrastructure package...that is a lot of money...since Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society"...we have spent 19 Trillion dollars...and we haven't gotten a thing out of it for anyone...I think 19 Trillion in reparations is enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes...that was a shit situation...each internee who was still alive got $20,000 back in the mid 80's by President Ronald Reagan...the equivalent of $44,000 in tosays money...it was total bullshit...but they were taken care of...at least partially...no mother fucker alive today was a slave or slave owner and certainly NOT in California!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes it's a long vid but DAMN is it refreshing to hear a different opinion from someone in the black community other then the usual grifters like jackson.
It is so cute how much you white people love your uncle toms. Nothing eases guilt like an apologist for systemic lynching, rape, housing discrimination, job discrimination, looting of entire neighborhoods if they become too successful, school to prison pipeline enforcement, unequal drug sentencing.... sorry there is more but I am out of breath.
OK, here's the deal. If uncle Sam is going to literally throw away my hard earned tax dollars at a few ungrateful beggars, then I should, would and will be able to say and use the N word.
After all, I need to have something for what I'm buying.
I identify as a black man. And I don't need no placating government cheese.
"It is so cute how much you white people love your uncle toms."
He's never read a single word written by the greatest black economist, maybe ever.....yet accuses him of being an Uncle Tom. Sowell was born poor in a time when lynchings were real, not some political talking point and worked to become the best. Then HeyI'mWhite simply categorizes him as Uncle Tom. HeyI'mWhite, you're a bigger racist than Strom Thurmond ever hoped to be.
^ I want to point something out.... Strom Thurmond was definitely racist but enjoyed huge AA support in SC. I have no idea why .... neither he or the lesse known Ernest Hollings a Dem did much of anything for the State of SC. Think of them as a less annoying Lindsay Graham.
I support reparations, but not in terms on monetary payments. Because that's a bandaid solution. Time to build proper infrastructure and renovate more to create cleaner areas in the Black community, to raise the standard of living and boost the more poorer parts of the economy.
White men have destroyed every native civilizations across the world through colonialism and under the guise of Christianity. They take over a country’s natural resources for themselves and give nothing back to the people but misery and violence! You see how wealthy generations of White people through the centuries and how they rule over the poor and people of color thinking that they are their saviors but they are actually destroying their way of life.
You have the rich 1% that don’t pay taxes and pass the tax burden on to the middle class and they bitch & complain about poor people getting a handout when they themselves are getting a handout from the government!
Reparations will help those that need help due to wholesale destruction of their families’ generational wealth because of slavery! It will never help heal the emotional and painful hurts of their forefathers but it will help them start a small business, buy a home, go to college, etc.
Why do White people think that they always have to have the last say about someone else’s life!
We are all supposed to be equal under the all written laws but because of racial discrimination we are not!
No it won't and there's proof it won't.
Let's say they each get $150k. The first thing most of them, I'd say at least 90%, are going to do is start spending it and will continue to spend it til it's gone. They WON'T start businesses, invest in the community or do anything other then buy things.
The proof? Just look at what happens to most pro black athletes after they retire, it's not just the black athletes but since no one else is getting 'reparations' let's focus on them. Within 5 years of retiring they're broke.
