It seems they tried the most "practical solution" back in the 60s: welfare and affirmative action
being black wont be a disability if white pays reparations
😎
big think
welfare is just the new slavery
There's been "reparations" and "white guilt" going on since the 60s
that and prisons
u can beat the slave but cant beat the slavery out of the slave
👏
Huh
WOKE
TAKE
This whole reparations argument stems from claiming to be a victim, and that as a so called victim you deserve a monetary reward for it. Seeing people like Obama & Been Carson both running for president at one point should be more than enough proof on how far black people can go. Racism isn't this huge barrier holding people back.
You know what prevents welfare and prison slavery?

@🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞 yes definitely
A good education? Having two responsible parents in the household?
not quite Zerioc, the reparations argument comes from the fact that the work of someone's ancestors was not paid, i.e. was stolen, by the person who was exploiting them for monetary gain. and that that wealth should be returned to the next-of-kin of who rightfully had title to it. it's not the same thing as damages in a legal sense
Not having kids super early in life?
If welfare is slavery, then what would reparations be?
How do you determine all of that?
equity is what leftists keep using now instead of equality lmao
slavery didn't happen *that* long ago
equal outcome instead of equal opportunity
based on race sex sexuality etc
It happened long enough ago for nobody to still be alive
I like how I can't talk about a specific thing without you bringing in a bunch of other things that you don't agree with and lumping them in with what I'm talking about
man when did doge memes become edgy and fun again
since like last year
I'm saying I agree with reparations in principle but in practice it would be difficult to accomplish, however, I also think that a practical, but imperfect solution is often better than no solution
@Hearts™ you still haven't convinced me of reparations
how's that for a doge meme
But why continue to wallow in the past?
SO
because the consequences of the past are still being felt today
