White House senior adviser Cedric Richmond says it's "doable" for the Biden administration to make first-term progress on racial equality, while Congress studies reparations for slavery.

quote:

"We have to start breaking down systemic racism and barriers that have held people of color back and especially African-Americans," Richmond said in an Axios interview aired Sunday on HBO.

quote:

The commission would recommend ways to educate Americans on slavery and suggest remedies, including financial payments from the government to compensate descendants of slaves.

So we haven't been educated on slavery "enough", and we need to take money from some people who had nothing to do with slavery that occured almost 200 years ago and give it to "descendants" of slaves? What fricking bullshite. These assholes are the "racists". frick it, I hope DC financially collapses and very soon. It'll be worth the pain to right the ship.

If you can’t trace your heritage back to a slave, you shouldn’t get money. Hell, you shouldn’t get it even if you can do it but I bet this eliminates a LOT of potential claimants thanks to the high illegitimacy in the black community.

Why do 2nd generation immigrants from Africa outperform African Americans that have been here for generations?

Both are raised in the same “racist system”, yet one group seriously outperforms the other in almost every single metric.

quote:

In their new study, published in the journal Sociology of Education, Dr. Pamela R. Bennett, an assistant professor of sociology at Johns Hopkins University, and Dr. Amy Lutz, an assistant professor of sociology at Syracuse University, tracked the enrollment rates for White, native Black and immigrant Black high school students into community colleges, historically Black institutions, four-year non-selective and four-year selective colleges and universities. “The most important finding of the study is the [reality] that that both third- and later-generation African-Americans and first- and second-generation (immigrant) Blacks are more likely than similar Whites to attend college, including selective colleges,” says Bennett who is the report’s lead researcher. Their findings reveal that immigrant Blacks or Blacks with immigrant origins enroll in all postsecondary institutions at a greater rate than native-born Blacks and Whites. Moreover, the report indicates that selective colleges enroll nearly four times as many Black immigrants, at 9.2 percent, than native-born Blacks, at 2.4 percent, and Whites, at 7.3 percent. Enrollment among both groups of Blacks in two-year colleges and four-year non-selective schools were virtually equal, teetering, respectively, at 41 percent and 30 percent.


quote:

yet there are important differences between native and immigrant Blacks that could explain the prevalence of immigrant Blacks at selective schools. A larger percentage of immigrant Blacks than native Blacks come from two-parent families and private schools. And nationally both Afro-Caribbeans and Africans have higher household incomes than native Blacks, while African immigrants have higher levels of educational attainment than both native Blacks and Whites.



Huh. Would ya look at that....

So how are they going to account for the black slave owners? Also my ancestors were slaves to the Roman's, do I need to see the Vatican about this?

Sounds like the native Americans are going to get screwed again.

Also how are we going to split the percentages between all the parties? The other Africans that originally sold them, the Europeans that shipped them? Also what about the vast majority that went to the Caribbean?

I’m all for making their descendants whole. Ship them back to where the slaves were originally taken from. They are obviously miserable here

Are they going to tell them to stop having so many kids out of wedlock and to value education and hard work? Those are their biggest barriers.

So, what's the cutoff?

8 generations back & 50% black?

6 gens & 25% = slight reallocation?

Darker brothers get more than redbones?

Any white blood is a disqualification?

Is it gonna be mail-in and absentee claims?
If so, Imma get mines.

I betcha they can come up credentials for reparation claims, but not a chance if it was for something as trivial as voting.

Should we just give up the 40 acres & a burro?

This is actually systemic racism in action. Making white people pay black people.
