Spin: should blacks sue paula deen for reparations

[13473]

often when we talk about slavery a lot call out the common excuses:
"my family is from (insert european country that benefited from slavery anyway)"
or "all whites didn't own slaves"

but we have Deen ON VIDEO admitting her family owned slaves.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/21/paula-deen-ancestors_n_1530907.html

she is rich.
she has benefited obviously from generations of slavery.
she sympathizes with her ancestors as if the slaves were wrong for leaving after being freed
she carries on the culture.
should we sue?

i say we do and let this set a precedent against others who have obvious slave owner ancestors, and i want us to go after the businesses as well that benefited from it. we're owed money and we shouldn't act scared to go get what's ours

The most retarded thing about this whole reparations thing is the people who want to sue innocent middle class people who happen to have slave owner ancestors.

Businesses? Fine but random individuals?

there are people making money giving tours of slave quarters and plantations but you think blacks are owed none of that?


the BIGGEST difference sociologist find to cause between white and blacks financially isn't stereotypes or social privileges but WEALTH PASSED DOWN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION. reasonably, considering this african americans are still suffering froms lavery & native americans are still getting reparations for their struggle.


we can multitask. build while getting payback. it is not too late right now considering slavery and sharecropping were not too long ago.

i don't care if it is successful. "that shyt ain't gon work" kept a lot of slaves as slaves because they were too scared to act or didn't know their worth.


it sends a messages that a lot of these people and companies better update their liabilities because nobody is safe

bytch i want to sue paula deen, companies and anyone else there is proof of benefited from slavery directly . she is on video i believe holding the proof that her grandpa owned a lot of slaves and she sympathizes with him. she can't try to skip by on some "my family isn't from here!" excuse.



only she deserves to get money? not the slaves that had to start from scratch that she considered "family"?


there are records showing many current businesses and schools participated in the slave trade.

I wish a mothafuka would sue me for something that I didnt do

Sue, get the money and you'll be broke again within the year.

what we do with OUR money earned by OUR ancestors is no one's business. we can run through it, invest or save it and it won't change the fact it was OURS to do with what we pleased

I agree if it is possible to pinpoint those who have profited off the institution, then the descendents of those slaves should be reimbursed if able. But remember the institution at the time was legal and if there is anybody or anything to settle this issue with its the government that allowed it. There are many things that could be done to rectify the issue and gain a modicum of forgiveness but be honest with yourself, this government has no intention nor has it ever had any in reimbursing the people it enslaved, unless they're pressured. After the civil war, there was a slight effort but you should know what happened by now; that irrational hatred took care of it. If you have time listen to JHC talk about it;

So if a mixed/lightskinned black person has white slave owner ancestors, would your bytch ass sue them to?


What about Irish people? Should they be able to sue random people as well?
