@Blonald Blumph that's what people don't understand. I'm against affirmative action of any kind because I believe that non-white people are just as fucking capable of doing a job

chat lively as ever.

Jerry Springer is proof whites aren't the master race

Are we talking about reparations?

Or those other wiggers

yeah I was taking the apparently controversial stance of being in favour

And wiggerettes

Blacks have more opportunity and privilege in this country than any other race

I'll have to scroll up & read your argument in favor of it, and see if you can change my mind.

First non-white President was black. Which I thought was an insult to Native Americans

Elizabeth Warren?

Rachel Dolzel?

Barack Obama wasn't descended from slaves

he was the son of a wealthy Kenyan politician

Neither was I

So then reparations only go to verified descendants of slaves, from their slave owners lineage?

in a perfect world, yes. since that's practically impossible, though, you'd have to find the most practical solution that still addresses that

That makes this relevant again, because those terms and definitions exclude race. https://youtu.be/b5YEKPiNwu0

yes I get it dude, non-whites owned slaves

black slavers in africa owned the slaves that were sold to the europeans

I am not contradicting that

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
