In any case u r shifting the focus. Point is if you’re going to have reparations for slavery there needs to be reparations for the excessive black crimes in the country also

🆙 | **Melania’s Jacket leveled up!**

I think that’s fair

go for it, but they are very different. slavery was a gov endorsed system. the gov does not endorse murder, and criminals are arrested if caught

and put in prison. much of that also instigated by the drug war, a failed policy that encourages crime

We need race education in our school systems to show the reality of certain races based on IQ and genetic differences.

So? The point is you want money for something that happened that u don’t like

Race education!

🧠

Also the drug war is necessary

hi

Slavery wasn't just something "i don't like" slvery was a massive system of exploitation, a stain on america, and to add insult to injury, the slaveOWNERS were paid reparations, not the slaves

it would also be a start toward addressing some economic warfare probelms we have even today, as in the forementioned textile mills processing slavery grown cotton

we can use that format against other corporations today that exploit Americans

See, it’s exactly how I said “this big bad thing happened gimme money”

Just give everyone UBI and nobody is going to ask for reparations

Why not just put them in forced labor camps

yup, another issue is fiscal policy in general, broad based would be the most equitable

@sea hey

a separate but also important issue

sup

Average american isn't a slave, but the declining share of gross income to workers shows a lot

we are seeing a union revival with people like Sara Nelson, etc

exploiting slaves was part of the package of exploiting workers in general

I’m trying to convince people that reparations is a retarded idea, what do you think?@sea

Basic take moment

black people tax when?

uhh

Let me get on pc one second

Doesn't obesity cause a huge tax burden? Probably a fat person tax before anything else

Lol Americans

The fact that a certain race receives benefits based on skin color just shows how delusional America is.

yea fucking white people and all their race based policies to hurt blacks for so many decades

@Dr.Cosby something like 100 billion

Oh yea what about white slavery! Maybe if you African had built a society filled with literacy you would have been consciously aware of the negative affects of slavery.

Also let’s not forget the origins of slavery stemmed out of Africa.

Sure, but this is about US policy. Africa and Europe can do whatever they want

So we’re just gonna ignore ancestral origins and history?
