I will not give a dime to any reparation because I have done nothing wrong

@Fred the Fish do black people in power (most likely democrats) empower common black people? If you say yes that’ll show me how irrational you are

Against my will

lt is irrational in the same way that German citizens were forced to pay reperations for the Holocaust

Are you saying the bank bailout was good and justified?

Because you just did say that

what about all those who were affected by the Holodomor

or any other genocide

?

What

"Broach the topic of the earth being flat today and a barrage of questions inevitably follows: Why does everyone agree the earth isn't flat? Why could you measure the circumference of the earth 2000 years ago in Ancient Greece? Why can you circumnavigate the globe?"

Well you literally are asking for money to excuse slavery

but want us to stop using money as an excuse to not pay for it

>demand money
>"why are you making this about money?"

Fred has yet to bring about a substantial argument for why racism as bad or worse as before 1964 still exists and why we should pay reparations for any wrongdoing we have done to Black people

@Mord it wouldn't surprise me if Ukrainians would want reparations for the Holodomor

So irrational

Or the Armenians for their genocide

I think the justification for Holocaust reparations was that Jews were displaced from Europe as a result and that the Germans needed to pay for their resettlement elsewhere

Or Poland demanding WW2 reparations in retaliation for being ordered to accept migrants

You are wrong

But then again I’m not Armenian so that was a guess

Why should we concede

also they were paid immediately after to people who survived it first hand

@Fred the Fish you're not being rational

you're ignoring the fundamental problems with the idea of reparations

Your plan is about as rational as people who say "if the government gave everyone money we'd all be rich"
You have put zero thought into it

how much money do you suggest paying to black people?

It would be a waste of time

do you want to know what Congress's conclusion would be

If you can find a way to resurrect a slave owner, you can charge him for reparations. Otherwise, it is unjustifiable

it would be, "holy shit, this is way too expensive"

"let's not do this ever"

hypothetically they decide to pay $1000 to every single black person in this country

37,144,530 x 1000

that's $37,144,530,000

So you're saying the bank bailout was good

bailing out a fundamental part of the American economy is not comparable to paying reparations to one subset of the country

Yes or no, do you think the bank bailout was a good decision? @Fred the Fish

I just want to determine if you are arguing in bad faith here
