Does FBA agree that Black immigrants deserve reparations for Jim Crow?

[valet]

Even if they werent decendants of slaves. If they experienced racism during Jim Crow they deserve reparations. Agree or disagree?

 

[HimmyHendrix]

I thought reparations was for slavery? Jim Crow while awful wasn't what started the inequality.

As long as FBAs get it, I dont care who else does

hell no … how many black immigrants where in the US during Jim Crow


what type of question is this

 

[Brolic]

Most immigrants weren’t even in the US during Jim Crow. They came right after Jim Crow ended because of the Civil Rights act and Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965

Reparations have always been about lost wages for free labor during slavery to me.

Jim Crow era was bad, but black folks still were able to earn income during that time, Only people who should get reparations are ones who had land or businesses stolen during that era due to the jim crow laws. Which if they happened to be immigrants than yeah. (not sure how many that would be though)

But for me in general reparations isn't about jim crow, its about slavery,.

No , but the U.S should give reparations to countries where it has overthrown governments and installed dictators that would work
in favor of U.S corporations , such as Chile with Augusto Pinochet and Noriega in Panama.

As a 1st Gen Jamaican absolutely not this country was built of the backs of FBA and their strength and resilience in abolitionist and civil rights movements made it possible for ALL immigrant groups to live in this country comfortable today.

Countries that also experienced slavery in the Caribbean need repetitions from the European nations that built wealth off their enforced labor and stole and continue to steal resources from their land

A case could be made that Jim Crow had way more significant destruction within ADOS/FBA wealth , than chattel slavery

Only like 1% of black people in america prior to 1960s were immigrants. And most of those people realistically ended up marrying another AA person anyway and their descendants today most likely just look at themselves as AA.

Nah, i don't think american tax payers have any obligations to foreign nations. At least not until they first prioritize the people of this country. Would be kinda messed up for Chile to get reparations before black americans. Our debt has been owed for much longer.
