A CASE FOR REPARATIONS!

Your statement like most "whitesplaining" is taking a few random facts and twisting them into a jumble that ends up being nothing but LIES, A few Africans sold other Africans, but Most were caught by "slave catchers" and it STILL doesn't explain the 2 Century plus practice in America, does it?

YEP, the people in their own countries (neighbors). :palm:

You are brainwashed by the media and the racist right...…...specifically racist white men.

I'm guessing you think Blacks don't skateboard? Just like they don't swim or camp either right?

If all “your side” has to do is vote and we’ll have $30/hr minimum wage, free healthcare, free education, free housing (?) then why aren’t people voting?

I don’t know what percentage of folks in California vote but “your side” controls everything including having super majorities and we aren’t passing $30/hr minimum wage, free healthcare, free education and free housing. So is it simply a matter of voting?

Hey wackoff! You didn't see me commenting about wanting to see $30 dollar minimum wages, or wanting anything for free. So maybe you are assuming crap and making shit up huh?

There may be some candidates running for president that are promising stuff like that, but there are others running who are not promising those things and they are not a part of their agenda at all.

Perhaps you should take another look at our leading contender, and what he is saying, and not so much listening to Bernie Sanders who is not even a Democrat.

In 1982 the government paid 25K to the families of Italian who were lynched in 1891. You'll pay Italians 100 years later but not decendants of slaves? Japanese interment camp survivors got 25K each. Native Americans got $1.3 Billion after WWII. American got rich off slaves...…...Reparations are due.

It is arguable that we did the negro a favor by enslaving their ancestors.

It is inarguable that the negro living in the United States has much more prosperity than a negro in Africa

Also, slavery, Jim Crow and segregation were all done by democrats. You vote democrat. Get the irony?

You responded to a post listing demands for reparations (several of which I included in my post) by saying voting is the key and referencing turn out for "your side". So why respond to the list of demands if you weren't referencing them?

Lincoln set it up so that the freed slaves were to get 40 acres and a mule as reparations for their enslavement. But, Andrew Johnson, Lincoln's successor, killed it before it got implemented.

That would have been the thing to do and the time for reparations.

My comment here was not about refuting what reparations anyone has now for the black man.

My point was about the fact that over 2 and 1/2 million soldiers volunteered to join the Union army and over 360 thousand of them died for the cause of freedom for all and to end slavery, and all that spilled blood and effort should be remembered, appreciated, and honored.

That's all I said dude!

I’m not trying to fight you here. I responded to your post in a thread about reparations in which you stated voter turnout is key and referenced the 2016 turnout. Higher turnout in ‘16 wasn’t necessarily going to get the list of reparations being demanded. Voting is obviously important but unless you are voting for folks running on this reparations platform not a lot is going to change regarding the issues of reparations.

250 years of slavery. 90 years of Jim Crow. 60 years of separate but equal. 35 years of racist housing policy. Until you all reckon with your compounding moral debts, America will never be whole.

Most Blacks are forgiving people. We aren't looking for a check in the mail...…..that is the racist white man's narrative and excuse not to give reparations.

We will accept reparations in the forms of the following:

Eliminate the for profit prison industrial complex
Eliminate the cash bail system
Eliminate Check the box for housing
Eliminate Redlining in housing
Eliminate Check the box for employment
Eliminate Background checks for employment
Eliminate Bias's in Financial Institutions with low cost, low interest rate loans
Eliminate Voting restriction
Eliminate the Electoral College
Eliminate the Death Penalty
Eliminate Police Unions
Eliminate Racist laws such as sagging pants, loitering, skateboarding etc.
Eliminate Racial segregation laws
Revise and Revamp the ENTIRE LAW ENFORCEMENT SYSTEM hold racist departments, individual kops and the Justice Department accountable.
Revise and Revamp the ENTIRE JUDICIAL SYSTEM Hold racist Judges, DA's, Prosecutors, etc accountable.
Free Healthcare
Free Education
Raise the minimum wage to at lest 25.00 hr.

And if push comes to shove...…..give us our fuckin 40 acres and a mule!

This is for starters...……….I could add to the list.

THIS IS WHAT WE MEAN BY REPERATIONS

I support reparations for any living person that was held in slavery!

I am not sure how I missed your original point, but yes Reparations would pretty much have to be up on referendum, for people to be able to vote in favor of it- or not.

Let me just say this right up front, I really do not have a hard stand on this one way or the other.

But if forced to make a fast and unwanted choice right now, in this time when I believe we have 1,000 other things we should me more concerned with and focused on, I would probably, in a forced and rush decision to say- thumbs down. And I'll tell you why.

Before I do or don't do anything, or make a choice between two choices, I ask myself a couple of questions...

Can we afford to do it, and can we afford not to do it? And in this case, right off the top of my head I do not believe we could afford such a large pay-out of everyone's tax money, and if we don't do it, I don't see that as something that is going to cause any harm in any way to anyone either.

That is just my feelings about it, and if my measly little opinion hurts anyone's feelings, I'll apologize for it in advance. SORRY!

You just shouldn't have even brought this up at a time when I have 1,000 other priorities.
 
"Kavanaugh opinion overturns conviction of black defendant for racial bias in jury selection"

"A black Mississippi inmate faces a possible seventh trial after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7-2 Friday that a prosecutor had displayed racial bias in jury selection.

Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh wrote the majority opinion finding a violation of Batson v. Kentucky, the 1986 decision barring the exclusion of jurors based on race."
