The only two economist worth listening to are Thomas Sowell and Milton Friedman and any of the others, such as the moron quoted are self appointed anointed saviors intent on destroying America.

All of which forget the one line, one place, and one Constitution that changed slavery forever.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Of course that isn't the mythology presented in "Roots" type thinking but it is the truth.

Unfortunately slavery still exist today, however it is an invisible cage, around the minds of a people, incapable of independent thought, personal responsibility, and moral accountability.

Personal choice and the just consequences are signs of a healthy society and as long as group ideology persist giving special access to the lazy, degenerate, and idiotic... this nation will reap what is sown.

The government? I think that’s what they are attempting to do.

Sue the people who passed laws that impacted them, corporations that did things to them, individuals.


Suing someone who passed the laws isn’t how government works.

I didn’t do anything to them. I wasn’t even alive. My now working/tax paying kids were born 40 years after the CRA was passed, why should they pay?



I’d hazard to guess you rooted for Trumps tax cuts. Why should your grandkids have to pay for that?

People are still alive that were affected. They have kids and grandkids alive that were negatively effected cross generationally. I’m against opening the Pandora’s box of reparations but at the same time I do see the argument rather than simply dismissing it outright.

Good deal. I wasn’t either. Are you personally responsible for everything that your local, state, and federal taxes go towards?

Never underestimate the challenge in changing false beliefs, with facts.

This type of nonsensical thinking is not only dangerous but espouses that someone's perception/ subjective reality is more relevant the objective truth.

The facts are that the moment the great society was envisioned, the welfare state created, affirmative action generated, and group ideology prevailed, a certain group of American blacks have degenerated into serfdom.

Generational damage...
What a stupid assertion.

Treat people as victims, don't be surprised when human nature finds the path of least resistance I simply survive.

Notice I didn't say live...

No, let people who feel they are owed individually prove (or thru class action) that they’ve suffered a harm and it’s value..don’t just blanket give money to anyone with black skin.

Do it and get rid of Title 7,9, welfare, food stamps , housing programs (sec 8), quotas , farm bullshite for minority farmers and any other program. Prob save money as the admin cost of those programs alone is 1/2–1 trillion annually. The actual cost of the benefits grows every year. Cut a deal and be done with it.

What about reparations for the descendants of Union soldiers that died in the Civil War to free the slaves.

You know what will really happen with this.

No one will know who or how many people qualified for payments or how much they got.

Some will be paid to hide the act and 12 trillion of it will be "lost" or untraceable.

Then when the country goes bankrupt and china owns the US the thieve's Trillions will become Millions and the rest of us will be left holding pesos.

The great reset will be complete.

No one alive had any part in slavery. For any Black Americans that want to go back home to their "kingdom" in Africa, well I'd be willing to use tax dollars to pay for their one way travel cost. So long as they surrender their US citizenship. That was Lincoln's plan after the civil war. Look it up.

Most likely, because reparations would bankrupt many Americans.

Including many of the retards who support them.

Talk about retarded, AA females are literally killing themselves to get equality in the federal workplace. They think straightening they hair with cancer causing chemicals is the answer.

I guess it never occurred to them that doing their job might help, instead of short-changing whitey, cracker, or honkey, as I've heard them call caucasian taxpayers.
