Actually.... I don't think she's saying reparations here :patrice: emphasis on "with a lens of reparations"-- In other words, the approach in terms of relief should be geared towards black and brown people first.




Now I'll be the first to say, that would establish a precedent on future reparations discussions :leostare: but my point is, she's not calling for reparations here.


Gtfo with your reading comprehension having ass.

So in America is this woman not considered white?

I understand some Latinos are black, brown, Asian etc. but surely it’s odd that a white woman is talking like she’s part of some non white coalition :mjlol:

Someone like Messi would be considered a ‘person of colour’ in America :russ:

San Francisco about to pass something that would pay undocumented Mexicans $500 a month. They’ve received literally 100x’s more money and services and any of my ancestors. foh
:wtf: @dora_da_destroyer @DEAD7 @CSquare43

Ain't there a lot of black people struggling up in the bay as well due to the tech inflation.

I know I read about Stockon doing a pilot $500 a month program.

You guys think Native Americans deserve reparations as well?

Conditions on most Reservations are pretty bad and some Tribes have their land rights violated by oil companies (Standing Rock etc). I wouldn't be mad at them advocating for their own claim.

I would say Puerto Ricans have a specific claim against he U.S. as well (mlitary testing weapons, forced sterilizations etc) and being treated like a colony due to things like the Jones Act. They need to make their own claim but don't lump them in with ADOS Reparations.

You're absolutely right.

But even then invoking the term "reparations" is itself, a signal term.

She's riding the fence.

Are you guys denying that Hispanics' land was stolen by whites, and some were slaves? Is black slavery the only thing deserving of reparations on your moral scale? I'm confused.

THE HISPANICS WERE THE WHITES
WHO CAME FROM SPAIN RAPING AND PILAGING EVERYTHING.
