Most of which has gone to poor whites.

It's amazing how many down votes this comment got, when it is the truth. I am totally against reparations, but please tell me that you don't think that more black people take advantage of welfare/ poverty programs than whites? There are about 251,000,000 white people in the US, with a poverty rate of 8.3%. There are about 49,000,000 black people in the US, with a poverty rate of 24.1%. You do the math....

We’ve already transferred trillions in wealth to blacks.

i can’t believe we still haven’t learned. Giving people shite for nothing does nothing. It gets squandered.

Look at welfare. Look at tax refunds. People actually will take less for the immediate cash. People actually do the advances on their tax refund where a percentage is being taken out. And people doing this make bank off these idiots.

These people are financially illiterate.


People took stimulus payments and bought consoles, tvs, booze and shoes with it.

Or as a community they could:

Focus on high marriage rates and have less kids outside of marriage

Glorify and focus on education to the level Asian households do

Shun and stigmatize violence, drugs, and gang culture



And as sane and great as that sounds, you would probably be called a racist for suggesting it. Such is the level of stupididty of the media and wokeness today...

Blacks are involved with welfare at a much higher rate than white folks. Do you understand the difference?

In 2017, blacks took more in welfare than whites, so your point is invalid regardless.

quote:

There are approximately 12.8 million Americans on welfare, accounting for 4.1% of the US population. An estimated $131.9 billion is spent by the government on welfare each year.

Welfare Demographics
The following percentages are recipients of welfare based on race.

• White – 38.8%
• Black – 39.8%
• Hispanic – 15.7%
• Asian – 2.4%
• Other – 3.3%

Reparations for Black Americans


i say if you are black and want to enrich yourself in this day and time, then educate yourself and find a job that pays well enough to prosper.

or do like your ancestors did and pick cotton for a living. many blacks found ways to enrich themselves in the 1800's.

are there any reparations for white people whose ancestors had to farm and work the land to put food on the table?

I would offer any black person who was directly affected by Jim Crowe or Slavery to receive 1-2k from the government every month.

This has to be a line we can’t let be crossed. Myself, my children, my future grand children had nothing to do with slavery and should not be punished for what people did 150 years ago.


Yep nothing like confiscating wealth from those who labored to earn it and giving it to others who didn’t. Kinda sounds like slavery to me. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

Lets just say reparations will do the opposite to the black community than what white progressives believe it will.

Handing out money will cause a genocide among the lower IQ of the bunch..

If they want to punish us for sins of our ancestors, when do we rewarded for the good deeds of our ancestors?

I am a Daughter of the Mayflower. I want to be compensated for what my ancestors did in making the crossing and helping to build this nation.
I am a Daughter of the American Revolution and most foot soldiers weren’t fully compensated for their service, I want their pay with interest! I also reward for my ancestors fighting to establish this country!

Of course I am being facetious, but where does it stop?

I think reparations were paid in full from the 300k plus men who died I order to free to slaves.

If they want real dollars, they should seek payment from African tribes who originally accepted payment for their bondage.
