Should racist Republicans be made to pay reparations?


What do you think?

reply

Why just Republicans? Shouldn't anyone racist have to do it?

But even so, I say reparations are racist in itself because any amount that you pay out is essentially saying how much you think a black life is worth.

Spain should pay them. They brought them to the Americas. No check that. Africans enslaved themselves. So West African countries too. No check that. Reparations have only every been given for loss of property and they've never had any taken from them since they lived in literally dirt and shit like pigs. There's my final answer. No one should give them anything! They dont deserve a god damn thing.

So basically you name yourself as one of the payers.

My ancestors were enslaved in Britain by the Romans. As soon as I start getting my monthly check from Italy I'll think about sharing it with American blacks even though none of my relatives ever owned slaves and I was born a century after slavery ended in the U.S.
