Insinuating that welfare is the single most detrimental thing stopping the upward mobility of young black people.

Lyndon Baines Johnson 1963... "These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference... I'll have them ni****s voting Democratic for the next two hundred years". -LBJ

how much do you want to bet this whole movement is being funded by self loathing white people? Organizations like this need funding. A bunch of funding and their whole premise is that they don't have enough money and they want white America to give them more.

This is bizaro world.

nothing against you here but that Huffington post article is very misleading. sure the percentage of people on SNAP overall will be largely white because the American population is majority white.

it needs to be broken down according to race and then counted to show the percentage of each population that is on SNAP.

but then again it is Huffington Post, they have an agenda

Slaves... 

You do realize that not all white people had these, correct? 

My family never had even one of those things for our entire genealogy. 

Paternal Great-Grandfather came from France and lived in Nova Scotia until around 1900... Maternal Great-Grandfather came over from Germany in the 1910s.





But you do realize almost every black person in this country is descendent of slaves.

Sure are a lot of passed off Trump fans in this thread.

They are doing exactly what Cinnamon Hitler suggested in his book The Art of the Deal. Take an extreme position and negotiate toward the middle. Yet the worst in people are showing in this thread.

That's because the Africans loved them some slavery.

Do you really think that other races weren't slaves of some sort if you go back far enough?

Wait so since white people are costing the government more money supporting their laziness but its not a bigger % of their race it doesn't count? I though the issue was the government supporting these people not who get the money because then that's called racism.

Yep. And next year they'll mark the anniversary of Alton Sterling when someone like Philando Castille and other seemingly innocent victims, regardless of race, should get the spotlight.

BLM turned a police brutality campaign into a platform demanding reparations for slavery. That is impressive for all the wrong reasons.

so SaturdayTraditions should pay reparations because he is white.

You should receive reparations because you're black.

Holy shite if that isn't racist i'm not sure what is.

ok so how do we go about the reparations?

do people have to prove that their ancestors were slaves? what about the Irish? do they get reparations?

tell me how this would work exactly

I agree with paying reparations - anybody who has been a slave in the United States, step forward!

To be fair, when you break it down by race like that, the counterargument is that white people pay in far more than they get out. You cannot say the same about black people. I've got no desire to make it about race, I'm just pointing out the flaw in that argument.

How can a racist movement be "anti-racist"?

But you do realize that nearly every person in the world is descended from some oppressed group of people somewhere at some time. Black people don't hold the special woe is me permanent victim card.
