we will never be even in "their" eyes. The frickers want it all and when they get it all they will ruin it. Look at federal funding housing

Why would we pay non affected citizens reparations for something they never dealt with? Pretty sure they are over the global poverty line and have tons of benefits already.

Lol, nope.

It would all be gone shortly and then they would demand more.


Not our fault that Tron got a hot hand in a dice game.

We have had a black president, black politicians are lawmakers and law enforcers.

They already have a seat at the table, so you know the answer to this.

They shouldn't. But it's like a whinny kid wanting candy in the cashier lane. You just do it to shut them up. But as you know with kids, you do it once and they want more.

When do I get reparations for the fraudulent election, resultant loss of rights, economic suffering, and eventual subjugation?

I will not pay reparations. I will stop paying my taxes. My family did not own any slaves.

No. Goalposts would get moved again. There is no end to the victim game.

No

I am seeing more and more statements of you " you are still racist if you just accept black people. You are rascist if you 'don't see skin color' " because it now moving to the "celebrated" mandate. Whatever level you get to you there are people that will want more. ( and this goes beyond racial discussions)

Aff action was created to compensate black people who had been barred from a job before 1970. That's 50 years ago. There are no longer black people looking for work who were barred pre-1970. Those people are retired or dead. Therefore, aff action was supposed to be over.
It's bigger than ever.

Rumor is on my dad's side a Catholic Priest in Italy was forced to send his 4 kids (3 sons and 1 daughter) to the U.S. before the Church discovered he had a side piece and he was outed. It would have been a massive scandal at the time. This was around 1905.

Um, what about your privilege? You need to pay the tab for that.
