your giving money right back to white people with your idea as well
How?
your giving money right back to white people with your idea as well
it IS about money!It was in the Bakari Seller's Breakfast Club thread. I said the issue with the failing and crumbling schools was about race, you said it was about money. I pointed out that redlining, racist policies of the FHA, and the stealing of land from black farmers via the USDA are the reasons why black schools are in the condition they're in. You dismissed it and said Not EVERYTHING is about race man.
It was the same thread where you said blacks need to use our bootstraps more and stop complaining because all we have today is surface disenfranchisement of blacks.
That was when I knew you were a suspected white supremacist. You caping for Beiber just put the icing on the cake.
it IS about money!
can't talk about independence without it. This is 2014, not 1959. That shyt ain't gonna cut it outright.
Uhhhh... yeah, you can.You can't talk about money without talking about race. But I'm shocked that you are #inherently against having this conversation
The bolded is one of the things my conservative friends always like to tout as one thing that needs to change in this country because they don't believe their tax dollars should educate someone else's child. They try to be slick with the shyt too. That's why I retort with, "so how well are your tax dollars being spent on education now when this country's kids are severely being under educated and falling behind the rest of the the developed countries of the world? And you go to voting booths and shoot down referendums to change or better the system but in that same booth, vote to raise your taxes so a pro sports team won't leave the area or a candidate who wants to increase the defense budget?" Then that's where the illegal immigrant vitriol starts to spew out along with other nonsense. Continuous moving of the goalpost instead of looking in the mirror and realizing that they are the real problemSo I'm reading the article and this section needs to really stand out to black people and public education:
I remember breaking it down to @Napoleon that shyt like redlining, racism at the FHA, and how public schools are funded (property tax) is one of the many reasons black people need to separate from cacs. That was when I first suspected him of being a white supremacist, and his posts over the last couple months have just reaffirmed my belief
Something like free college tuition would be better IMO...
Reparations in the form of scholarships, building schools, and improving neighborhoods (not just so rich white people can move in) would be a great idea. But not as in cash money, because most would just give that right back to white people anyway.
Nikkas don't need reparations. It would just end up being a worse situation than trying to deal with affirmative action and school busing. What nikkas need is a system like the native americans, where the group owns shyt that's actually worth something long-term and gets royalties for it, set up in perpetual trust funds. So let me take it back: the only reparations nikkas need is land and a treaty with the government that that land can never be sold to anyone else, but can be leased to others so that any profits continue to go back to nikkas in perpetuity instead of a one and done short-sighted cash deal.
But let me go read Coates' article to see what he really has to say.
With only 45 million black people. Give us all an acre to own + free higher education...and they still have over 600 million acres and madd debt they don't plan on paying back....The united states owns 650 million acres of land.
Meaningless reparations.With only 45 million black people. Give us all an acre to own + free higher education...and they still have over 600 million acres and madd debt they don't plan on paying back....
This would be very easy to do.
Meaningless reparations.

The devil would be in the details...What's meaningless? I never paid for school.. I have 3 degrees.... no educational debt helped me. All of my people should have that ability.
Land isn't meaningless.... Most black people don't own shyt. How could all the living adults getting 2 acres hurt?
