All of our opinions and ideas are shaped and informed by what we read, and from listening to people we respect or place value on.
There is not a single Plato, Aristotle, or Descartes on this board, capable of brilliant ideas and insight through the power of intellectual force exercised within a pure vacuum. And that is true even if some jpp dot com posters are legends in their own minds.
The takeaway from this thread is this:
An actual black person presented a vision of restitution, composed of tangible actions which any fair-minded person would admit are either reasonable, or at least worthy of mature deliberation even if ultimately rejected.
In stark contrast, white dude in the OP created a trollish and transparently disingenuous post claiming to present an idea for restitution, but which we all know was an insincere attempt to paint black people in a bad light. To make it seem as if all they are interested is sticking their hands out in anticipation of wads of cash being handed to them.
