My Thoughts On Reparations In The United States

[Prince.Skeletor]

So.. I am against reparations.
To be for reparations you must not understand the function of government.
Government is not supposed to have money, it's all your money.
So the govt. is not paying for it, the people are, including black people.

And it is very difficult to say that whatever money the country owns to slaves, it gets inherited by the great grandsons.

So the question is, does the country 'OWE" anything to present day living African americans?
And the answer is yes, what the country has robbed from today's African americans is culture.
All African americans should know where they come from, they should get free ancestrial information.
Because it is something that is owed to black people.

Now, how the hell does that get implemented.
Well.. I would say that there should be a referendum where the people can vote but only on state levels.
So yes, that means that California may fund such a program but New Jersey won't.

Thoughts?

EDIT: I have changed my stance on this topic. I should have read more on the topic, and the problem is I also did the mistake of limiting reparations to the topic of slavery.
I now support reparations for what is and has been happening since I would go back to the 60s. However that would be the main reason why I'd support it, not because of slavery though.

Some redress is due...
Unpaid black labor built the wealthiest nation on the planet and for that some reparations due... add to that centuries of systemic persecution and you have blacks receiving an elevated status in American society as the only conceivable form of justice.

The case against America isn't at white people of today or yesterday but against the country itself(the state)... and as I have stated before I would like to see reparations in the form of tax exemptions for all african Americans who can prove they're descendants of slaves.

i'm for reparations, but if you can't bring out that verified genealogy then no money for you. and no present day mixed people either.

i wouldn't want any because my people are from african slaves in jamaica.

Great post. Except tax exemptions aren't enough. I need free education undergrad and grad level, i need a passport and free access to and citizenship to the countries in Africa that show up on my DNA screening, as well as citizenship in the States, free DNA screenings, i need to know the families who owned my ancestors and their descendants as well, and i need a life time of free mental and physical health care.

I will also take my 40 acres and a mule. I can build things on that land and pass that on to my descendants. The same way whites did back then. Their descendants still reap the benefits of what slaves built back then to this very day.

White america could never fully repay us for all the lives lost, blood shed, families ripped apart, identities stolen. etc. They are and will forever be in debt to blacks for all their evil.

They wouldn't let us read. We got killed for reading, so for that we need free education. No black person should ever have to take out a student loan.

They raped us, castrated us, did experiments of on us, etc., and for that we should get free health care for the rest of our lives.

They made us eat the thrown away shyt from cows and pigs while they ate the choice meats and most expensive parts of the animals. For that right there Im going to need high quality meats for a penny on the dollar. For the rest of my life.

They stole our identities. Renamed us...so we should all be able to change our names to the tribes which we were stolen from.

Which is why we all get free DNA ancestry results. They owe us that and 2000% more.

Like i said the years and years of evil whites have done to blacks they could never repay us for it. I also don't think this country will ever take reparations for blacks seriously enough to do anything.

I think its the best we can hope to get, and it lasting.

Is anyone in Congress doing anything towards making that happen? Do they even discuss reparations in Congress? Doubt it.

Without a strong economic base, we arent gonna be able to put it on the table(lobby)

And families traced to slave owners should pay the taxes. Seems fair

What?! No! When I clicked this thread I totally expected your opinion to be different.

God damn man. I did not see this coming.

So you are against reparations you and the only kind of reparations you support is something like a free 23&me genetic test for AA and that is it?

And that can only happen if white people allowed it through referendum?

So that is it? America owws black people a free ancestrial information that doesn't cost more than a $100.

At least Dead7 is better than yours.

Do you believe in repearations where Africa pays east Indians?
if you go to Africa you will see brown people that look they from India.
Guess how they got there.
Should African pay reparations to them?

I want you answer on this!
