A CASE FOR REPARATIONS!

[MAGA MAN]

Dude! I have no idea why you think you and I have an argument. I am not arguing with you.

I am on the side for Equality and Freedom for all.

You're a whitey.

I'm a woman......and I'm agreeing with you.

[TTQ64]

If implemented 40 acres and a mule would have given black folks 100's of thousands of acres

And?

[Mason Michaels]

And?

And it would have given black Americans a huge lift after they were freed,to build communities,instead they got nothing.

And a very nice lady you are. Thanks!

So were owed.

That's what reparations is about.

Not to mention the free slave labor that is still be acquired today.

Oh, you mean the ancestors of slaves who STILL suffer from the racist attitudes, injustices and second-class citizen status that permeated the slavery era in America and the white people who STILL benefit from the privileges afforded them since Black people were brought here, enslaved and forced to work for FREE for 250 years, establishing this country's economic superiority?

Those people?

Why was it ok to give the descendants of Italians, Indians, Jewish and Japanese reparations 100 years after their descendants were dead?

I still haven't heard and answer/excuse for that?

If I knew then ... what I know now .... I would have picked my own damn cotton .

But none of the slaves is alive to collect.

Simple question. I have traced my lineage back to the 1400's, and the earliest ancestor to the US was after the Civil War was over. Am I liable to pay reparations, in your opinion?

[TTQ64]

The Right Thing(s) which should have been done many decades ago. A change that would have affected things for the better and not only for one group of people but for everyone, equally. That is the initial problem certain groups did not and do not want to see certain things change for the betterment of everyone. And that still stands to date.

[TTQ64]

At this point, most white people who clearly have benefited from the institutions, that racism and bigotry has created for them, like economic and educational success can't see themselves outside of that comfortable prism/bubble! In other words, they fear losing everything that their ancestors created and provided for them here in America and they desperately don't want that to happen, by any means!!!

I tell you what,if I get some of the forum members together and we buy you 40 acres and a mule,will you STFU about reparations?

I just made her a great offer!
