Who are we asking to pay for the reparations? Where would the money come from?
With billions of dollars we spend on complete bullshyt I'm sure they could come up with a proper solution for reparations.

When the topic is about dropping bombs on third world countries, we have unlimited funds.

I fast forwarded some parts however the only thing I was missing was discussion about how reparations can happen. Reparations doesn’t have to be a check. It could be zero percent interest loans or free college education. Ideas along those lines shuts down the “pay check” argument

It should be a yearly tax credit spread out over a generation for every working adult.

It won't happen, but it kills every argument.

How can we pay for it? It's spread over 20 years.

Anyone can get? No, working adults who file taxes do.

It could be roughly 10k a year for any US citizen who has a TBD percentage of African Ancestry dating back to slave times.

10k over 20 years is a suitable payment that I believe could help level our playing field.

Because the argument shouldn't solely be we were slaves, the argument should be we have been consistently disenfranchised as a people for generations after slavery.

Saying its solely for slavery puts it too distant for people in power to rationalize why or why not African Americans should even receive it.

dude basically said "latinos don't play identity politics, meaning latinos don't fight for shyt like black people. And I can't pretend to be hispanic because i'm black, so i pretend to be ADOS and that's my hustle". He tried to make it sound eloquent. :mjlol:



it's almost a running joke at this point. People pretending to be ADOS as a come up.

So now this Owens guy is reading from the Stephen A. Smith playbook? :comeon: Numbers and stats without context? Segregation and discrimination not being taken into account? (I need a shake my head emoji)

We have more people incarcerated than in college? :rudy: That stat was debunked since 2000. But let's say I agree. Overpunitive laws against black people have nothing to do with that? :camby:

you're not even worth the time building with

see the bolded.

This is a platform to communicate.

Stop being confrontational and built with me.

Am I missing something?

Everyone else is talking about inter-sectionaity or Pan African-ism telling us out problems are minisucle.

I'm open to being wrong.

Who am I missing? Of course I'm talking about now and this is work that's been done just this year.

I'm not clicking this to give them any views. But from the thumbnail alone, these people look biracial or mixed. Of course they are gonna hate on reparations. The are scared that if we got reparations, they wouldn't get any of the cut. A lot of people will be against ADOS getting rep simply because they cant get a check because their bloodline isn't from descendants of slaves.
