ehh alotta of that madness comes from new england as well

Washington is thankfully only bad in the bigger cities as far as day to day interactions. But our governor is going insane for some reason

But same, I will avoid moving till the state decides no one is allowed to own houses anymore

A new ad for reparations'. The stupidity is palpable at this point.

Being a Leftist must be so Exhausting; Having to be offended on everyone's behalf whether they themselves are offended or not

I want reparations for the toils of the Irish

And for the Royal Family of France Assassinating people that looked like my Mother's Family

i dont think they get offended they just want control

black people should be given reparations on the condition that they leave the country permanently

how about they dont get any reparations and they also leave

They can be thankful they weren't castrated inside their ancestors balls

That's reparations enough

jesus, to give an analogy if you went into someones home, beated the shit out of them and built your house on top of theirs but later acknowledge (like most countries do today) that going around beating the shit out of each other isn't a good way to run the world, you could at least help the person in your house get back on their feet. the real question is just seeing what is the best way of doing that is

would apply more to native americans than african-americans

and tbh there's a fuck ton of un-used, congress-owned land that we could allow them for extremely minor concessions

@Jokerfaic i would argue that it applies to any group that we treated like shit just for existing, there's obviously different things that can be done for different groups

I'd say a better analogy is your great great great grandfather walked into a bar, there's a bar fight going on so he joins in and wins, wiping the floor with the rest of them, now the great great great grandsons of the people your ancestors beat up want your money and land

once again, congress is just sitting on land being used for absolutely nothing. Modern day blacks can go piss in the wind about their reparations, but natives we can functionally make some minor ammends for

I mean for fucks sake they might as well be in zoos as it is

its the only geographical context I can think of the word "reservation" being used for that doesn't specifically refer to animals or plant life

Not really the case because there have been instances of large scale discrimination up until like maybe a generation ago @Dubdogelmo (+ there is no “bar” where the people fought in the first place, it was someone’s house if we go with the analogy), my personal solutions to this wouldn’t last any more than like 1 to 2 generations anyway (so basically the people directly and indirectly affected by being born of the affected people, tho I mean the reservations arnt a bad idea ontop of that as well)

not saying just give them territory that currently belongs to the states, fuck that, that ship sailed before anyone alive today was a nucleic acid chain. But I don't think you're quite understanding the sentence ``"congress is currently sitting on a fuck ton of unused land"``

that's not even including the old Nevada Atomic Test Sites

Well we already have the reservations, but my main focus is on what other things could have been done, it’s not just about giving people fucking land

I used a bar to show that the natives were all fighting each other but that'd be a bit odd in a house

if there's a generation of pampered, spoiled, well-to-do, genuinely tribally-descended natives pissing their britches about huwite priviledge or some shit, I'd like to see it

And I mean over shit that can be proven false like systematic oppression or some shit. Trail of tears fucking happened, but that's a tad beyond fixing anyway

No one's talking about giving Texas back to Mexico

I'm talking about land, unused, and owned not-in-perpetuity by congress, and people who by today's demographics might as well be endangered

not a freebie either, it can be leased or sold for some sort of concession

a minor thing

maybe a sort of revenue tax on production, a fraction of a percent sort of thing

for a set period of course

then, who knows

I’m not talking about how people bitch to much or about that land, I’ll just give you an idea of what I would do, so for people directly affected who as a result have dropped into poverty should receive montary compensation, then their kids (so now the second generation) should get education benefits. Then slap on a few reservations (tho this only applies to indigenous inhabitants) and that’s it

I may not know the best way, but I know the Worst way: Just giving them Gibs and a "Lol, sorry"
