Reparations..about principle or money?

[MajorVitaman]

we should push for land ownership. but not any land. prime land in some cases. that means yes, some land in the hands of others should be switched to ours. sorry white bruhs/bruhettes, asian bruhs/bruhettes. fair is fair. if it wasnt for racism we would've owned a lot of those spots from the beginning. so if they try to cry but but this aint fair. sure it is.if it was fair for you to purchase land from other white folks that stole it from us or didnt give us our fair share. in essence you were buying stolen property. if someone steals your car and then they sell it to someone else. doesnt matter how much that person spent buying it. thats not my problem. give me my car back. and yall two can figure out how to settle yalls differences.

To the Universities. we already have those. some are good others are terrible. i say yes we need more but i would also say i still want 100% free education from Pre K til Phd. that means anywhere you want to send your black kids or yourself you can always go for free. books covered as well.

The south east is that prime land

negged this is not a conversation about do they owe us or not. take that into your own troll thread.

and for the record any other black brainwashed victims of white supremacy believe what this troll said above? if so, understand this everyone on earth inherits something. either something good or bad or both. thats life. whites of today have inherited white supremacy from their forefathers. this is why a non racist white can end up being racist by just being white and never acknowledging his or her's privilege while also not using it to help those that dont have said privilege.

So remember the moment you say blacks today dont deserve reparations because of what happened to their ancestors 100's of years ago, oops i meant jm crow..oops i mean they are still shooting us dead in the streets in 2015, mis educating us and not hiring us because of our BLACK names... so just cause it happened to your black forefathers they think you dont deserve what they should've paid them and owed them. well fine by me. just let everyone white person know they dont deserve said privilege either.

let me dumb it down for the slow ones.

Does trump deserve any money he received from his father who was a real estate developer. young donald didnt work for that. why did he deserve that? yet that was seed money for everything he did thereafter. that seed money is the reason why we know who trump is today. no seed money, even with the same person, with the same drive would've become an unknown.

so if trump deserves money from his ancestors. i do to. pay up.

To add to this, brehs gotta think about how much what they owe us would be worth today. They could hand out fat checks but it will never add up to what it would have been had they given them to the slaves that were promised.

Think about all the lost investments, we could have been running this country by now.

It's about admittance, that's why it will never happen. The government / people who run the country have always done there best to make it seem like A. Slavery here happened thousands of years ago B. It "wasn't that bad"

If they were to pay reparations a big part of it would be admitting what they did, the president at the time would have to go on TV and say some shyt white folks ain't trying to hear

Not only that then you have to wonder about the slaves brought to South America and the carribean (who out number the ones brought to America). There government are going to be shook


Another more intricate part I always wondered about on the distribution end (one of the coli's favorite topics too) is what about people who are mixed? And I don't even mean straight 50/50 I mean multigenrational mixed people you kknow there are going to be people who are going to want to abuse it


I don't think it's ever going to happen

What if they issued a formal engraved apology and made a national "Sorry Black People" holiday? Wouldn't that be more of "admittance" than a check nikkas will spend before they have on some bullshyt?

If u want free money from the govt just say it. I wouldn't turn it down. But lets pls stop pretending like reparations would do anything, when we are still being locked up like animals and discriminated against. Yall nikkas on this reparations BS are thinking small time

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

Okay, but they don't owe you, and you aren't in their debt. Slavery didn't happen to you and they weren't the ones who imposed it.

Your argument isn't even valid.

............You have absolutely NO idea what you're talking about and should keep your mouth shut........

not sure how old this map(edit, its from 1922) is, but it still hits on some of the stuff that each state has.

Myself personally, reparations aren't that high up on the demands list. Wouldn't really care if they never did reparations for it to be honest in 2015. That's not to say I don't acknowledge the lingering affects of it, but some of those lingering affects I do think need addressed. Mainly segregation, gentrification, white flight, second class educations, job discrimination, etc.. As a people, devils in years gone by really went out of their way to ensure Blacks would not achieve significant economic success and freedom. It's mainly my reason why I don't have a problem with Affirmative Action. There was a time I believed it should be reviewed, and that will happen very soon with the Supreme Court poised to look at it this year. Still, considering all of the actions taken to ensure we'd be economically crippled and mentally handicapped from post slavery years well up throughout the 20th Century, I don't have as much of a problem with Affirmative Action as I used to. That said, I feel like we're owed something from throughout those years. I don't expect to get anything, and wouldn't hold my breath considering the nature of these animals we're dealing with.

Out west would be OK if it weren't for the massive influx of Mexicans who are actually making chess moves to reclaim the land. Also the fact that Asians keep dumping nuclear waste in the pacific ocean and its washing up in the west coast... And the fact that all those bomb tests that white folks have been doing and pollution has made rain fall damn near poison...

More Ports and direct ship routs to Africa, Europe, South America and the Carribbeans which have MASSIVE black populations. Militarily this would be better .. and farm land in the south east of Texas... Plus an already larger black population... And the land is cheap AF in the South... And you have the Mississippi river...
