re: Slavery reparations- currently $27 is on the table. Would you pay?

The only reparations i'll pay is an international one-way plane ticket.

I'd pay $27 to never have to hear about that ridiculous shite again.

Absolutely. I would pay it happily and genuinely and forgo a couple two tree pints of beer to make up for it and feel all warm and fuzzy and morally self-licensed.

And then shake my head presciently as I watch it squandered on [insert racial and cultural stereotype goods and services here].

I think they owe me reparations.

My great-great grandfather owned some slaves. Today, I am not enjoying the fruit of their labor - I inherited nothing from him. Therefore, if he didn't have stacks of money for his future generations to enjoy, he must have had some pretty piss-poor slaves. I'm supposed to be enjoying "white privilege" or some shite, but I'm not. I feel cheated. I want my reparations!

When the bill is for the wrong name and for something they can’t actually collect on (red light ticket), I tell them to frick off.

All they can do is piss and moan about it. It’s not like it is city of NOLA which can boot cars on the street if someone has red light or speed camera tickets.

I'll do it, it'll be a great boost for economy. Shits going to get spent quick.

If slavery/privilege/other racist BS is never brought up again? Yeah I’ll pitch in $27 bucks


But we all know it wouldn’t work like that

I truly think anyone that has ever owned any slaves should pay and I also think anyone that was ever a slave should be paid.

So how many American's alive today were slaves or slave owners?

They already get reparations

I think the low amount is just a starting point and will reach higher levels once this "only $27" is accepted.

Slippery slope
