we are at a max, 14% of the population.

And Japanese Americans were probably less than 1% if the American population.

What the fukk does that have to do with what we are owed??

See this is the funny style shyt I hate with nikkas like you and these other passive aggressive Reparations supporters on here.

If you don't support Reparations because you are scared of white people then say that. And please don't ever speak on the fukking subject of Reparations again.

If you don't support the fight then just STFU, not just you, but every other spineless negro making excuses about why it can't or won't happen.

that nikka (still yet to be confirmed) is not eligible for reparations even if it was to get passed. Disregard him

I wouldn't be mad at this if Obama didn't make the comment "it wouldn't be fair to the Hispanics". That alone makes me throw this whole enlightenment in the bushes.

he’s right

it’s not like Hispanics have benefitted from black folks building america into the worlds biggest super power

Why aren't they worried about 'da racist whiteys' when it comes to getting stuff done for hispanics or asians? I'm sure dat racist white man isn't fond of illegal immigrants flooding across the border, yet there is no qualm with getting laws passed and providing resources for that. Obama had the house and the senate at one point, so why couldn't he get something for blacks unless he's admitting there are a lot of racist whites in his own party?

A couple of dollars?

:what:
Y'all nikkas do understand that this reparations talk is one that is purely academic right? What metrics are there to determine who gets what and in what dollar amount? After the check is cut and nikkas get their pittance are crakkkas even now? Has the debt been repaid? Are nikkas expected to STFU about slavery and systemic abuses?

This is what happens when foolishness spills out of the Ivory Towers and gets latched on to by internet con men like Tariq.

nikkas think they hitting a lick and haven't given a though to what is on the other side of that reparations check.

I want to make it clear I'm not siding with Obama one way or another. But the reality is that whether or not the white folks in the democratic party were racist, that isn't your only concern in this country. There is a whole other population that will outright tell you they are racist and they will kill you and your family if they ever found the guts and will to do it. You had a whole other side of the political aisle, filled with outright white supremacists, pretty much okay trying to overthrow the government because their preferred white guy lost.

America is finished because it is way too fractured. Social cohesion in the United States is broken and what that means is that politicians will always stoke that division. It doesn't take much imagination that while there may be some white democrats who are against reparations, I think the obvious backlash he is referring to is the type of white people who broke into the Capitol last month to overturn an election while wearing holocaust denial shirts and carrying the confederate flags. It's most likely he is worried about these folks. Not the ones on his "side".

The sad reality is that black people draw the most ire of racists. I've seen racists say themselves when it comes to interracial dating for example. They'll say shyt like I don't mind a white Hispanic or Asian dating a white girl because they view them as closer equals but are absolutely against black folks intermingling. It's easier politically to sneak in a reparations bill for Japanese Americans than it is for black folks because these racists have a hierarchy of "worthiness" in their mind. It's the ultimate insult to them to see blacks get anything.

He knew there would be backlash for refusing to seek prosecution of Bush administration officials for war crimes, but he did it anyway.

He knew there would be backlash for bailing out the Wall Street criminals who caused the sub-prime mortgage crisis, but he did it anyway.

He knew there would be backlash for going back on his campaign promise to end the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, but he did it anyway.

He knew there would be backlash for :cape: for Rick Snyder in Flint, but he did it anyway.


I'm getting the same vibes from Obama here that I got from Bernie Sanders during his initial comments on reparations. Bernie mentioned that he didn't support reparations because it would be "too divisive." I thought "Dude, you are a socialist in America who was on the transgender train in the 80s. Since when have you cared about what's divisive?" :stopitslime:

Reparations is like BLM for white people, it requires education!

Even me a brownman, I was against reperations at one point until I understood it more.

It's like Black Lives Matter, white people be like "ALL LIVES MATTER", but that is because they do not understand the point of BLM.
They think it means black lives over white lives. You have to educate them that this is not what you mean, what you mean is that blacks are targetted and killed while whites are not.

This is an amazing picture that explains it VERY well.

Now with Reperations, which I used to be against as well.
Because to pay black people because of what happened to you by people that don't exist today to people that don't exist today is a very hard argument to make, especially when the money will be paid by the people considering the govt's money is your money.

But that's when you have to explain, explain about how shyt is STILL happening.
From police persecution, creating ghettos and putting mad drugs there, massive incarcerations, gentrification yep that too, to so many many other things sitll happening today.
And that would open it up beyond ADOS to all blacks as well.

The problem is politicians keep making studies on how to pay, but should instead make a study on WHY to pay, and then have mutltiple sessions explaining the results to white america.

Just my two cents...

We need to unite and give it to ourselves.

I'm not waiting for white ppl to all of a sudden grow a conscience and give me something. Nah just stay the hell out of my way and don't try to stop my progress. Any progress that I make, I'm trying to build an institution for our ppl. And I know many other black ppl that feel the same exact way.

Exactly

They been going against us for 500 years.

But some people imagine a world where they will stop going against us and actually give away their ill gotten gains

All right.

But while we wait we prolly better figure out how to become powerful WITHOUT ANY help.

Cause... that's the case. In reality. In all of history.

Jungle rules

Power is taken. That's why its power. If someone can GIVE you the illusion of power, they can just as easily TAKE IT BACK.

But real power means you can hold your square. Against those who would eat your lunch

No real purpose of valuing diminished power outside of symbolism ... if your position is reduced in authority by your mere occupancy... that position shouldn't be valued by certain individuals and should be strategically reserved for those who can and will actually yield tangible results ...his whole proclamation here is a reaffirmation in defeatism

Black folks are going to have to understand that among most white racists they have a hierarchy of hate and the most hate is reserved for black people. Maybe among the more constantly in the white supremacist weed types, they would put jews above blacks for disdain but for most racists, anything that helps black folks makes them angrier than anything in the world. They would tolerate Asians for example more than black people.

Howard Stern used to have some KKK grand wizard on his show. I remember when they asked him to rank races. Outside of jews and gays black folks were the most hated. Politicians know that these white people will tolerate some shyt more than other. Not right, just stating the facts.
