Realistically, reparations aren't happening—not because the case lacks merit, but because of the deeply racist country we live in.
We agree.
Where I take issue is with your framing—specifically, the c00nish suggestion that reparations are some kind of “handout.” That’s not just wrong; it’s historically and morally bankrupt.
a government handout is just something the government gives people in need for free. The term has been weaponized like woke, welfare and a bunch of other terms by conservatives to give them a negative connotation so I can understand why you're upset over the use of the term.
This isn’t charity—it’s restitution for centuries of stolen wealth and systemic exclusion. From the economic devastation of antebellum slavery, to the legalized theft of Jim Crow, to redlining, discriminatory loan practices after WWII, and the targeted destruction of Black communities through the War on Drugs—the financial avenues that build generational wealth were deliberately closed off.
The rest of his is really just getting on a soap box to basically repeat what I've said. It's a clear attempt at a strawman based on the term handout to incorrectly assume. Then attack the idea that because I don't think reparations will happen for the very reasons you said yourself that I don't think black people have been victims of systemic harm. Again a larger point I've made in damn near every post you quoted.
But you're just here to argue because you think you have to disagree with anything "bluemaga" says so king kreole will dap you.
As far as your personal life, I really think your posting is showing you need to log off and tap back into touching grass. We all go through things. When people start posting all throughout the day there's usually reason beyond just loving the back and forth with coli brehs and faux brehs.
hilarious, but enjoy your day though
