:jbhmm: their argument is that reparations were paid directly to holocaust survivors tho...

Whites are going to say "show me a slave today.."

And that would have been a valid argument however the difference is that in Germany it was done over the course of 6 years, Germany went to war with its neighbours was defeated and was put in a position where it was forced to acknowledge its crimes and pay for them while its survivors lived.

The same can't be said for America, there wasn't a coalition of the strongest countries who brought it to its knees. The process happened through the will and determination of the African American people and the journey to freedom was 40 times harder, 40 times more brutal and that's not even counting the civil rights movement.

I am not sure if reparations can be a set amount of money going to each descendant, I don't see how that would work and whether it would make anyone better off but my opinion is a fund to recognise that 1.what was done was immoral and a crime against humanity and repartition would be in addition to a formal apology and I would argue a park or garden or statue something symbolic in honour of those lives and 2.the community has suffered as a result. Then the fund can be managed in a way that will have the biggest impact e.g. education grants, economic empowerment through business grants/hyper low interest loans, healthcare outreach etc.

It's a matter of time. It's a shameful past for the white descendants but that doesn't make it less true. If a white person tried to brush off the hurt of it I'd ask them if they were a slavery sympathiser or a Nazi sympathiser. Seriously, draw parallels with Nazi Germany and watch their face :martin:

We will NEVER be given reparations...

But we can excel and TAKE IT.

Like real MEN.

How? If we don't accept help? We don't listen to our parents, and distrust people in power. The Black community is very much divided too. No compassion, no empathy, no understanding ....
As for OP's notion ... What will reparations do towards emotional scars by the way?

I don't know, video is very short and gives little info. Wish there was more details. There was another thread on this same video few days ago.

I don't believe it personally, I take meds and do therapy because they help me stay out of trouble. But these disorders are not THAT serious, and if an individual is struggling bad, why not seek help?

they finessed nikkas into feeling slavery is inherently a part of them claiming it like it's ours

all races have had portions of their population enslaved whether do to war or poverty

they stay pushing the image of black individuals in chains where's roots for the europeans jahahahaa

I'd say our grandparents should receive reparations during the treatment of the civil rights period. Mine tell me of the events they've personally experienced it makes me want to not fukk with any whites on any level. Truly demonic shyt. People keep saying no one is a live today that was a slave but shyt wasn't peachy immediately following after. It's intellectually dishonest and dismissive horseshyt
