Oh I get it you hate jewsshould we punish more severely the owners of the slave ships do you think, who were playing a very large role in facilitating and profiting off the slave trade?
just following up using your own logic. Or would you be against this? Earlier you said that white people deserved to pay up.Oh I get it you hate jews
What's a Bolshevik Jew? How many were there? Care to post a link so that I can become more informed?just following up using your own logic. Or would you be against this? Earlier you said that white people deserved to pay up.
Any American families that owned slaves owe reparations to the families they enslavedjust following up using your own logic. Or would you be against this? Earlier you said that white people deserved to pay up.
Live in the here and now. Can't change the past only future. Make things good for all, but do so without forgetting the history.150 years ago is ancient history. The inherent divisiveness is today. It’s a distraction and a marketing platform.
^^^^ Can't agree moreMinimum wage is slavery, and the cost of child/health/dental care is its whip. That doesn't include saving for retirement if you don't want to live in abject poverty.
The world was/is built on the backs of slaves, not just in the past nor is just an American thing. If we had to pay the true cost of our disposable lifestyle, the economy would come to a grinding halt and a major, hostile redistribution of assets would pretty much change the world as we know it.
Reparations aren't the answer. Reparations will be paid for by tax payers, and we all know rich (white) people and corporations don't pay their share of taxes, so you would be punishing poor and middle class Americans, black Americans included. There's nothing more American than making black Americans pay their own reparations.
Lol oh auntie buck you're so cuteWe already know you’re an idiot so I won’t say it

No one cares what you think, Unclebucktard.Minimum wage is not slavery. Being owned by another person as property is slavery. Reparations are needed to pay back what was stolen from slaves.
You are an idiot
DumbI like the idea of reparations. But it strikes me as a little bit of a cold calculation. How do you really calculate a fair settlement for a dehumanizing crime? What is the value of a soul? It will never be fair because fair cannot even be defined.
On a legal front, not sure you can make someone pay for something that was legal at the time and occurred before the birth of anyone alive today. Maybe you can, I don't know, any precedent?
I don't think it's that easy. The objective is to make whole or repair the damage. Then, who, how, and when will we do this? Just like so many things, it's not a matter of simply paying up. Also there is the continuance of systemic racism. We need to stop fucking with people simply because they are black.Easy fix for reparations. Zero the income tax rate for African Americans for 4 generations or bump their credit by 200 pts for the same time period.
Hey everyoneI like the idea of reparations. But it strikes me as a little bit of a cold calculation. How do you really calculate a fair settlement for a dehumanizing crime? What is the value of a soul? It will never be fair because fair cannot even be defined.

NopeWe all believe him right?
“Our share in total, of the slave trade to the New World, was never more than 5%. The smallest volume of the major european slave traders.” is what people in NL would argue to downplay their country’s responsibility. The vast vast vast majority of that 5% went to Dutch colonies in South America and the Caribbean rather than the current US.The problem with reparations that about 99.99999% of people miss is this: The United States was not responsible for the VAST, VAST, VAST majority of slaves brought to this country.
Again, the U.S. only took part in the slave trade for 24 years.
Any slaves brought in before 1783, which is of course the VAST majority of them, would have to seek reparations from the European nations that brought them here. (England, France, Portugal, the Netherlands
Right, so if anything you don’t end up suggesting ending racism or ending black poverty makes up for slavery and qualifies as reparations rather than something that should be done regardless.Just saying, some thought needs to be put into it.
should families who owned more slaves be held to higher reparations (for example, if your family have 30 slaves, vs another family that only had 1 slave)?Any American families that owned slaves owe reparations to the families they enslaved
census records make it super easyhow do you determine "family" from 200 years ago
