Tulsa to pay $105 million in reparations for Black Wall Street

[The Realist Perspective]

This is why I’m against reparations at this point. You will not get a check in your hand to go spend on anything you want. it’s not the lottery. At best, you get some community grand fund for “buildings"

Just end this charade already

Black politicians are being held hostage by activists with delusional demands who then punish black politicians but then get replaced by conservative non-black politicians who aren’t even persuaded by these losing arguments in the first place.

Reparations is the perfect argument for the opposition to promote knowing that Democrats can’t fully endorse it without losing future political leverage and republicans already hate the idea.

Why would you be against it just because it failed in the past? Terrible mindset. And further proof you’re an Indian.

Shyt is just a community revitalization fund.

She knew that shyt wasn't real reparations. Used the word as red meat. No problem with the community revitalization but I wish they could have done a little something for anyone who is a direct descendant or survivor. But no way that shyt would fly in Oklahoma.

I’m black And no amount of “cash payments” will deliver power or knowledge or experience.

Theres no shortcuts.

Wdym no shortcuts? Must people with immense wealth didn’t adhere to the strict rules we follow today!

Literally people would want someone’s land, and killed them for it. Then it’s their land. And it’s locked that way for generations to come.

Even laws in place they just said nah I ain’t doing that, and benefited TREMENDOUSLY due to that.

I reject playing like we’re on an even playing field. GIVE US WHAT IS fukkING OWED TO US BECAUSE YOU NEVER EVEN NEEDED TO PULL ON YOUR BOOTSTRAPS.

So naive. No power knowledge or experience? Money is the gateway to all 3! A means of generational healing. A lot of the issues the black community faces today is due to poverty, systematically imposed!

If you don’t want to get what you’re owed then that’s on you. But you should shut up when it comes to others trying to get what’s righteously theirs.

Not even joking aren’t your people from the islands? Your experience and understanding is not the same. So sit this one out. QUIETLY. With your dumb thumb up your ass.

I’m aware, and persuaded to all of these arguments.

But it’s 2025. It’s all gonna go outwards. The knowledge base and experience base to weaponize that funding isn’t going to change black society overnight. Even within 5 years.

You could give a zero interest loan today to all black society and it won’t change the political and economic infrastructure needed.

Spending isn’t the issue.

We need more graduates in elite fields AND getting into elite jobs AND rising in elite roles. Thats real power.

I came in hot and for that I apologize.

I feel we need only a concentrated group of people that have the knowledge in order to influence positive change. I feel there are plenty of capable black folks today, the only barrier is money.

The access to proper education is also deeply tied to the economic status of that particular person. Definitely not expecting a change overnight but I would be willing to bet things would look drastically different within a generation of shifts.
