Surely if you throw money at something it goes away and solves the problem once and for all

2018-09-23 18:32:09 UTC  

Yea totally

2018-09-23 18:32:47 UTC  

yeah we know we can't just free blacks from slavery and expect things to get better

2018-09-23 18:32:53 UTC  

that's why we passed Civil Rights legislation in the 60s

2018-09-23 18:33:04 UTC  

lf the government suddenly decided to write a 1 million dollar check to every black person in the US, in the 10 years not only would all that money be spent on material things, they would come around and say it wasn't enough and we'd be back to square one.

2018-09-23 18:33:16 UTC  

Exactly

2018-09-23 18:33:32 UTC  

I have seen people value reparations at $5 trillion

2018-09-23 18:33:39 UTC  

it is a pipedream and always will be

2018-09-23 18:33:52 UTC  

for *each* black person? @agag

2018-09-23 18:33:56 UTC  

or collecvtively?

2018-09-23 18:34:00 UTC  

no collectively

2018-09-23 18:34:03 UTC  

Oh

2018-09-23 18:34:07 UTC  

like $380k each

2018-09-23 18:34:09 UTC  

If you are half black do you pay your reparations to yourself?

2018-09-23 18:34:36 UTC  

150k would be for the same guys low estimate

2018-09-23 18:34:40 UTC  

l'm contemplating on pinning that

2018-09-23 18:35:39 UTC  

who has to pay reparations anyway

2018-09-23 18:35:54 UTC  

do Asians or Hispanics who weren't in this country when slavery existed have to pay reparations?

2018-09-23 18:36:04 UTC  

do whites whose ancestors never owned slaves have to pay reparations?

2018-09-23 18:36:16 UTC  

do Native Americans whose ancestors did own slaves have to pay reparations?

2018-09-23 18:36:23 UTC  

you would have to trace back all the white ancestors who owned slaves

2018-09-23 18:36:28 UTC  

and it wasn't just whites

2018-09-23 18:36:32 UTC  

does Puerto Rico have to pay reparations since they don't pay federal income tax?

2018-09-23 18:36:43 UTC  

lt was jews, native americans, other blacks, etc..

2018-09-23 18:36:51 UTC  

So nobody

2018-09-23 18:36:54 UTC  

so the American people as a whole?

2018-09-23 18:36:57 UTC  

Because that went to the debt

2018-09-23 18:37:55 UTC  

are you going to have black taxpayers pay their own reparations?

2018-09-23 18:37:57 UTC  

Also, what happens when that doesn't fix the problems blacks have, and they decide that we just didn't give them enough?

2018-09-23 18:38:12 UTC  

Just keep doing it until we run out of money?

2018-09-23 18:38:21 UTC  

lf the government suddenly decided to write a 1 million dollar check to every black person in the US, in 10 years not only would all that money be spent on material things, they would come around and say it wasn't enough and we'd be back to square one.

2018-09-23 18:38:48 UTC  

They were right then too

2018-09-23 18:39:09 UTC  

Earth is round, same mentality as the people who denied flat Earth in 1880

2018-09-23 18:39:11 UTC  

where are you going to get the money?

2018-09-23 18:39:19 UTC  

From ypipo and the rich

2018-09-23 18:39:21 UTC  

37 million blacks in this country

2018-09-23 18:39:35 UTC  

how much do you want to pay to each black person

2018-09-23 18:40:04 UTC  

Set up a system that systematically gives them advantages in welfare, schooling and college admission

2018-09-23 18:40:07 UTC  

Oh, wait

2018-09-23 18:40:53 UTC  

This is just further proof that you want equity and not equality
