It's March but one more Black History Month lesson


There is a history in other countries (and to a very limited extent in the USA) of paying reparations over slavery.

However, it entailed payments to White slave owners for giving up their slaves.

I suppose I don't have a problem with reparations for black people. The issue is, who's supposed to get it? I mean, there are thousands of successful black people in America, like Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Barack Obama just to name a few...

Hell, Oprah is worth over a billion dollars, does she get reparations?

Plus, during the height of the slavery epidemic, 3000 free black people owned 12,000 black slaves. I am not sure how we trace this to make sure descendants of former black slave owners don't receive anything. In addition to this, other races were held in bondage as well. So, who gets what?

So again, in theory, I have no issues with reperations, it's just hard to say who exactly is supposed to get it?

The plan is not to give to individuals. Instead, it'll be in the form of diminishing the generational wealth gap created by centuries of discrimination.

For instance, white Americans were helped with obtaining affordable houses which grew in value. The same could now be done for blacks.

An excellent book to read is "The Color Of Law: A 'Forgotten History' Of How The U.S. Government Segregated America"
https://www.npr.org/2017/05/03/526655831/a-forgotten-history-of-how-the-u-s-government-segregated-america

This book details the racist policies and laws which created segregation and has suggestions which reparations could fund.

And what's your plan for dealing with the Islamosupremacy that dominates the Muslim world? Saudi Arabia, an 830,000 square mile country, bans all non-Muslims from citizenship. The 4 Arab countries bordering Israel once had 100,000 Jews between them. It's now down to 32. 32!

America has made a lot of accomplishments. Jim Crow is in the distant past. But the Muslim version of Jim Crow in the Mideast is still alive and stronger than ever.

Israel is an apartheid state and has Jim Crow laws.

You didn't answer my question. What's your plan for dealing with the Islamosupremacy that dominates the Muslim world? What's your plan for dealing with the Islamo-apartheid that dominates the Muslim world? If you don't have any plan for dealing with that problem then you should just admit it.

Israel is not apartheid. I already explained this to you:

Don't be so lazy. Actually read the article. Israel is a bantustan for Jews. It's the surrounding Arab countries that are actually apartheid. And Israel has no Jim Crow laws.

You still didn't answer my question. What's your plan for dealing with the Islamosupremacy that dominates the Muslim world? What's your plan for dealing with the Islamo-apartheid that dominates the Muslim world?

They should give reparations to those slaves who work in the sweatshops who make the Air Jordan and other products owned by blacks.

Wouldn't that be quite the irony?

reply

They're made in China. Isn't the point of communism to protect the workers from exploitation by capitalists?

reply

Isn't Air Jordan made by Nike which has a reputation for child and slave sweatshop labor?
Boycott Nike
Just do it.

reply

TRUMP

reply

No, they will complain that they need more...just like welfare.

That’s how it started with the woke cult; give them a little and they continue demanding for more.

Players are black. There is notorious discrimination in coaching and executive positions.
