These people are unhinged

I am not sure if this is the right chat, but my writing course, academic writing course, is making us read a long passage on the case for reparations and today we're listening to the radio talk show with the author and people calling in to discuss the argument.

It's not writing....it has nothing to do with academic writing....it's a radio talk show about reparations and systemic racism

Well, it's about the left being crazy like usual, so it might as well be the right channel.

yeah that's what i thought, because i've never had a class so focused on activist type thinking while continually saying "you don't have to agree" it's just writing.

this is what we're listening to in my /academic writing/ course

i don't understand what they mean by "moral debt", we can pay the "debt" simply by making blacks have the same requirements as whites.

affirmative action and other things like that won't pay whatever debt they're talking about.

i guess the argument i gather is that they don't want equality under law. moral equality is not a thing and will never be a thing, morals are subjective.

so all i see is that "equality" at this point is not enough

yeah, most of them are really radical and idealistic

to me, it looks like they want blacks to have a revenge

like for us to be their slaves or smth

except we don't need this "revenge" of theirs

honestly, it seems that way. I am mixed and as other people with a brain point out...how does one handle mixed race people?

like do I pay back myself? or what? My ancestors were not from the US back 350yrs ago so do I just sit it out?

the argument inevitably falls apart for reparations, since nothing done in the present will undo the fact that the past happened

the left always has this attitude of "what if it happened to you??? HUH??!?!?!?!?!?"

Right, but they forget to mention that it didn't, and that laws were made to change the issues and that most of the US is made up of people who came in after slavery was abolished

but they were treated wrong too so do we have to pay them anything? i mean, even obama said it would not be wise to spend time on reparations

corrupt or not, he did make a solid point about it while in office
