Everyone who talks about reparations, but I never hear an actual number?

Punitive damages should be automatic, but I think options should be available for individuals to choose from a said list. Some would want education, some would want money, free healthcare, clean slate on credit and debt. If each are substantial, then a choice should be available.

The civil rights movement was really about black people wanting the same opportunities as white people. We wanted to be on the same level with them. work in the same office as them. go to the same schools as them. We have all of that.

first.

This is all I needed to see:mjlol:

To all my ADOS people out there,

Most of these anti reparations negros are not educated enough to understand what they’re against

Ignore them and keep the movement alive

Reparations is not about getting a lump sum of money or a laundry list of benefits.

It's about creating generation ADOS privilege and an inheritance.

There is no number you can put on it. The number would be in the trillions.

I did not contradict myself at all. Where did I saying EVERY African-American was required? Please point that out. Secondly, please show in history where every African-American was required to affect change? Not being able to craft a rebuttal to my argument doesn't give you the right to just make up your own argument, ascribe it to me, and then make a point against it. That's intellectual dishonesty...

You can get emotional, but you still fail to understand the inherent flaw in thinking you're going to drive the reparations movement via boycotting of single businesses at a time.

There you go with your logical fallacies again.

Strawman Fallacy

Description: Substituting a person’s actual position or argument with a distorted, exaggerated, or misrepresented version of the position of the argument.

Logical Form:
  • Person 1 makes claim Y.
  • Person 2 restates person 1’s claim (in a distorted way).
  • Person 2 attacks the distorted version of the claim.
  • Therefore, claim Y is false.

Nah, to break the system and make it even is to pay. You have to pay the current to benefit the future.

so that's $6 trillion dollars.

so with your plan that's $600 billion dollars a year for 10 years?

do you raise taxes? how do you generate revenue or where do you cut revenue to be able to pay for it? With the bank bailout, the banks had to pay back what was given to them.

Stop ignoring all the answers you're being given. The fact of the matter is, it's doable, and there are many different ways to do it. Does Israel have to pay back the money we give them? Meanwhile, Ados are taxpayers, consumers of the American economy, and contributors to it's growth.

To all of you anti-reparations people, let me save you some time. You're not going to convince any significant amount of African American descendants of slavery that reparations aren't needed. We have ALL seen and felt the affects of this unfair society over the course of our lives.

We are going to make you clowns re-evaluate all of your racist teachings and viewpoints that have made you believe that you can pull the wool over our eyes.

One million a person sounds good

Space it out over a lifetime so that the Govt can afford it

But that’s not all I want

I also want property

And

Systems of injustice need to be revised

There is no number or ceiling to how much we are owed. Cut the check for every ADOS brother and sister born, from now to eternity. We aren’t falling for the trick bag. Cut that check until we tell you it’s enough. :francis:
