UCLA Professor Laura Gomez: Give Reparations to Latinos, Too

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

and you're stupid.

your a c00n

 

[King Poetic]

Everybody wants to piggyback off black folks hard work and sad shyt , we allow it

fukk them

 

[George's Dilemma]

Citizenship is not = REPARATIONS tho and she KNOWS this....

The very definition of reparations is not limited to finances.

 

[BlackJesus]

He did that on purpose to get folks riled up.

But this lady isn't advocating for money for latinos. She's saying reparations in terms of citizenship.

That’s how it starts. Then before you know it they are advocating full blown reparations for themselves. Even though they are all voluntary immigrants.

Black folk can’t catch a break

About people "pooling together and linking resources"
they got the idea from us in the first place and did so purposely to get "set asides".
So much for the "it's all group economics" theorizing I see online.

What would they get reparations for, somebody mentioned ancestors shedding blood on this soil during a certain time...
They weren't even here EN MASSE until late in the game (outside of Tx and California), and their "category" wasn't a thing until fairly recently

Oh, but what about Ricans?
Well

Hard work?
Yeah for the ones who hire their countrymen for pennies on the dollar, and ship in slaves, aka actual HUMAN TRAFFIC

But.... they chose to come over here & be subjugated to racism.

jealousy is a mf

Not to mention they come over here and (some) of them have the nerve to be racist to black people...even though if it wasn't for black people they wouldn't even be able to enjoy the rights and privileges they do enjoy here now.

 

[kingofnyc]

the nerve of these Mexicans & Central Americans

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Hispanics have tons of small businesses in their neighbors. These folks even got they own car dealerships

What do they need reparations for?

Most fukking definitely. Racist as hell, I’ve experienced it first hand. Mexicans are the worst when it comes to that shyt.

The very definition of reparations is not limited to finances.

the making of amends for a wrong one has done, by paying money to or otherwise helping those who have been wronged.
"the courts required a convicted offender to make financial reparation to his victim"


restitution

redress

compensation

recompense

repayment

atonement

indemnification

indemnity

damages

• the compensation for war damage paid by a defeated state.
  plural noun: reparations
  "the Treaty of Versailles imposed heavy reparations and restrictions on Germany"

 

[Barlow]

So basically white people should get reparations

Our future is doomed if this happens

I also bolded and underlined what you pasted, specifically, by paying money to or otherwise (emphasis on OR OTHERWISE)

In addition, see the following,

Definition of REPARATIONS


Definition of reparation
1a: a repairing or keeping in repair
b reparations plural : REPAIRS

2a: the act of making amends, offering expiation, or giving satisfaction for a wrong or injury
b: something done or given as amends or satisfaction

3: the payment of damages : INDEMNIFICATION
specifically : compensation in money or materials payable by a defeated nation for damages to or expenditures sustained by another nation as a result of hostilities with the defeated nation —usually used in plural


Even when we discuss reparations here on this very forum, we don't simply talk about a check as the plight in Black communities involves more than simply wealth. That said, that Latino professor isn't wrong in putting citizenship under the umbrella of reparations as the word isn't limited to money. The only issue I have with her is it's another example of others benefiting off of Black struggle. In this case she's coopting a talking point.
