How do people that say reparations will never happen feel about

"Donald Trump would never be president "

This nikka said “and BOOM slavery ended” like there wasn’t war, revolts, and sacrifice from brothers and sisters for HUNDREDS of years fighting the good fight...



I swear half of ya’ll on this site are NOT fukkING BLACK

No we don't. LOL.

I'm willing to be educated on the subject. I know rape was common in the South and some freedmen still married white women. But you're saying it's actually a minority of AA (less than 20%) with white ancestry. Am I understanding you right?

Our white ancestors are not by choice -- and it's from enslavement, reconstruction or Jim Crow when they were raping Black women.

I know that. But are you now saying that any kids, who is a product of a black person who voluntarily after 1865 had kids with a white person, are not AA?

Are light-skin black people AA?

Yes, some are. And you got some dark skin people that aren't AA, your point?

The way you stated we have "whites in our family." I am saying we have White rapist DNA -- but they are not in "our family" -- or "family.

I agree with the point you're making. But the question then becomes what is the (exact) definition of an AA/ADOS person? For those children who were product of slavery rape or just rape, we don't hold their white DNA against them. They are still AADOS. But then after 1865, if a person who is AADOS were to voluntarily marry and have kids with a white person, then is the resulting child still AADOS or "other"?

I agree with you. I am just saying that we have White DNA -- but that don't make them family.

If someone voluntarily marries a White person --I don't even want to go down that rabbit hole. I am speaking for the majority of ADOS who don't have white family members -- and don't have any whites in their fam.

What good are reparations when the system is still rigged against us?

So we get a select amount of money for reparations but the inequality continues?

Just give us an equal opportunity, put an end to police brutality. And invest more in education for our young ones. We don't even get the same treatment from doctors

Give us equality first, and then reparations

 

[I Really Mean It]

Who the fukk is "BreathingWhileBlack" and when did this accused rapist ever mention "reparations"? Why did you post this?

What the fukk am I even reading? Equality with whom? The people who've oppressed us for centuries? Why is an equal standing with them desirous in your eyes? Who is going to give us equal opportinity? Opportunity for what purposes? To do what? With what capital? Educating young ones to enter a workforce that won't hire them unless they're gay and/or wenching? Divorced from reparations, equal opportunity is empty symbolism that doesn't offer any tangible benefit to black America.

 

[Secure Da Bag]

We agree?

 

[intruder]

When they said black people getting out of slavery would never happen or a black president would never happen? Every single thing they saying about reparations is the same exact thing they said about slavery and having a black president and they was wrong about both so what makes them think they won't also be wrong about reparations?

"They'll never give us reparations if they wanted to they would've did it already"

"Black people wouldn't know what to do with reparations"

"If they did it wouldn't happen in this lifetime"

It will happen. Just not the way you think it will.

I say this because i believe it will happen but we've seen how the peaceful reparations demands went. Caribbean nations demanded reparations from Britain and got pretty much ignored. In December 2003, Arristide when he was president in Haiti gave a speech at the UN where he demanded reparations and .. less than 2 months later he was overthrown via coup-d'etat. A coup that was later revealed to have been plotted by the USA, Cana, and France.

So like I always said "I dont believe in revolutions without violence"
I always told you clowns , That revolution you want so badly wont happen without bloodshed so gets your guns ready and learn to make your own ammo

Most of the stuff people are saying in here is irrelevant. Here’s the truth...

As soon as the people who really make the decisions determine a way to benefit the most from reparations, they will do it. That’s how most things are accomplished. When it makes the people feel good about themselves or helps them profit hand over fist, they go along with it.

Nothing else, short of another civil war, will result in cash reparations for black people.

So the bottom line is that it’s hard to find a model in which you can practically administer and sustain political support for those kinds of efforts. And what makes America complicated as well is the degree to which this is not just a black/white society, and it is becoming less so every year. So how do Latinos feel if there’s a big investment just in the African American community, and they’re looking around and saying, “We’re poor as well. What kind of help are we getting?” Or Asian Americans who say, “Look, I’m a first-generation immigrant, and clearly I didn’t have anything to do with what was taking place.” And now you start getting into trying to calibrate—
