Reparations need to be THE issue for African Americans by the 2018/2020 elections

Dude lol cmon man thats not even close to what I was even responding to.

The poster made the claim that blacks 100% built America which is a reason why we deserve reparations.

My point was I hate the false claim that blacks 100% built America (because of Slavery). It was a contributing factor to the building of America. Not 100% hard cold reason why America is where it is today.

honestly, you're the only one that seems to be grounded in truth and reality.

Hey finally got to get to your point.

I will never argue that it is not harder for us Blacks. Thats just plain stupid. But a large part of WHY it is harder in my view is not because of racism. It is because of cultural perceptions.

If blacks have a bad perceptions and stereotypes (largely) in this country because of our widespread cultural ignorance and violence. This affects all blacks.

But even though it is harder. We should work hard and do what we need to do to become successful (by the way the same way a lot of successful black do it).

Work hard, get educated and stay out of trouble. Stop blaming other ppl for your issues/problems etc... Self accountability. That is your key to success and the equalizer.

People saying black people shouldnt get reparations , let me steal 3 months of all your pays checks and if you complain Ill just say you need to stop blaming people for your issues and your stupid for asking for that money back. That's how ridiculous most of you sound. Let people take from you and passively ask for it back. It just another from of internalized racism In black people. Black people don't think they deserve reparations is the real issue.

Blacks should def get reparations, I'm honestly surprised they haven't cut all black people like a 1 to 5k check and then write the whole thing off as "dues paid"



"I dont wanna hear about this ever again, not even when to tell me it was better as land"

Basic human psychology dictates that if we really want reparations, some blood is gonna have to be shed.

When has the US just done something just because it's the right thing to do?

If yall dont close this damn thread

All you little hashtag activists getting upset about 1 person calling you a nikka or making jokes, imagine what the REAL slaves and civil rights activists who actually deserve reparations went through.

You little sissys sit up here on your damn wifi internet, with your 1000 phone, your 300 sneakers and got the unmitigated GALL to use your ancestors blood sweat and tears like a fukking atm and claim YOU should get paid when you little bytches wont even stand up for a black woman getting called out her name by some cacsucker while you sitting there filming it, get all the way the fukk outta here.

REPARATIONS WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

Stop wasting air on it. Focus on programs that have a real chance of being implemented.

Why should we get free education when other groups were given money? Dont remember Jews or Asians asking for free education, cut black people a check and be done with it

They actually know how to use money AND keep it in their community. Want to know why? They are fairly educated.

I got all excited thinking the thread title was Repatriation Needs to be the Issue...

SMH. I see we still haven't learned. Alright, let's keep asking these people who show no empathy for us in any way possible for reparations. On something they believe happened hundreds of years ago, had nothing to do with them. Something we need to "get over."

 

[Guile]

let's go back to a continent that we've been removed from for 300+ years and with terrible infrastructure and that's still being managed and controlled by cacs. Surely it will be different there.

The people who should be supplied with reparations have died or dying. Anyone born post 1960s should leave the topic alone.

You black?

I'm sure white folks have been saying that for 150 years.
