@Hearts™
but where does that line end/start?
Should we do such things for slavs or a large chunk of chinese rail workers?
Is that for blacks only? All blacks? or blacks with proven to have slave lineage?

As a person of color, let me tell you why you not working harder to give me more money, food, clothing is racist

2019-02-21 20:49:24 UTC  

I would say you don't have to draw a line really, but if we start with one issue that might give guidance on how to address another, for sure

2019-02-21 20:49:25 UTC  

And problematic

2019-02-21 20:49:37 UTC  

just because you're a POC doesn't mean you are an authority on this topic

2019-02-21 20:49:44 UTC  

@Tornzy my family moved to America two generations ago, I'm curious if I would need to pay reparations because of things that we had no hand in.

2019-02-21 20:49:48 UTC  

Yes it does

2019-02-21 20:50:04 UTC  

Coloreds empowerment means gibs me dat

2019-02-21 20:50:23 UTC  

so does inheritance by birth

2019-02-21 20:50:43 UTC  

@mikeflarkin that's the question I was asking, where do we draw the line and where do we start?

2019-02-21 20:50:58 UTC  

leftists will be getting shot soon

2019-02-21 20:51:01 UTC  

i guarantee it

2019-02-21 20:51:02 UTC  

yes dobatag we saw it the first time you posted it

2019-02-21 20:51:03 UTC  

Point being..
You need to work so I don't have to

2019-02-21 20:51:09 UTC  

@Hearts™ no u didnt

2019-02-21 20:51:11 UTC  

@dobatag that's why I carry a knife.

2019-02-21 20:51:18 UTC  

should blacks now pay reparations to all first nations for the land to which they live on?

2019-02-21 20:51:25 UTC  

that anime girl has eye herpes so just wanted ot make sure @Hearts™

2019-02-21 20:51:25 UTC  

lol, that's literally what slavery is Noche

2019-02-21 20:51:34 UTC  

What about the Arab slave traders, do they have to pay reparations?

2019-02-21 20:51:35 UTC  
2019-02-21 20:51:42 UTC  

No

2019-02-21 20:51:48 UTC  

Because skin color

2019-02-21 20:52:04 UTC  

is there a name for the "this problem is too big and complex to solve so we shouldn't even try to do anything about it" fallacy? I hear it a lot

2019-02-21 20:52:08 UTC  

They're also victims of institutionalized racism

2019-02-21 20:52:41 UTC  

it's possible to have an imperfect solution to a real problem and still have that be just

2019-02-21 20:52:50 UTC  

the thing is, I'm not arguing against not solving it, only that "reparations" are not a solution

2019-02-21 20:52:52 UTC  

Is there a name for the "This "Problem" isn't the real problem shut up about it"

2019-02-21 20:53:18 UTC  

you mean like when you talk about climate change and people are like "psh, but what about starving children"

2019-02-21 20:53:25 UTC  

Reparations can't solve their problems since it isn't the solution

2019-02-21 20:53:44 UTC  

some people still own the wealth that was the proceeds of slavery

2019-02-21 20:54:06 UTC  

including many africans...

2019-02-21 20:54:24 UTC  

should they then make reparations for selling them into slavery?

2019-02-21 20:54:33 UTC  

that's up to Africa to figure out I guess

2019-02-21 20:54:39 UTC  

Meh

2019-02-21 20:54:56 UTC  

Everything is white people's fault

2019-02-21 20:55:25 UTC  

I don't agree with that at all

2019-02-21 20:55:29 UTC  

I just happen to be in favour of reparations

2019-02-21 20:55:55 UTC  

I mean, sure, I could get a job, make my own money, grow my own food, pay my own bills...

2019-02-21 20:56:03 UTC  

But white people are white
