How is calling an American an African American not culture appropriation?

Just asking for a friend.

I will cease paying taxes if this gets passed one day. Which I think it will by the way. I’ll start seeking another nation to move me and my family.

They can stick their commission up their arse.

If reparations are passed, my days of paying taxes are over.

Generally speaking, I would say you don't have much to worry.

Nobody would want to debate the legality of it, as they couldn't even answer the first question. Who is the defendant (party from which reparations is owed)?

You basically have groups pandering to the lowest common denominator that any of its legally possible.

If Robert Johnson is so hard up for reperations, then buck up Bob. Start giving away your money a-hole.

"Nobody talks about cash, but Black people understand cash," Johnson told Fox News.

Under his proposal, an estimated 40 million African-Americans would get $350,000 in direct cash payments over 30 years (costing the average taxpayer roughly $2,900 a year, according to his office). The $350,000 would signify the wealth disparity between African-Americans and white Americans.
1. This ain't happening

2. If it did, it would be the worst thing to happen for race relations in America in a looooong time.

I imagine this, that'll never happen, would make the protests/riots of the past couple of months look like child's play.

Wait a second.

The average White retired couple has $700K in the bank?

The average white family of four has net worth of $1.4 million?

Is this true?

Just make the contributions voluntary. If you have “white guilt” knock yourself out, woke celebrities can put up or shut up. You don’t even need to pass a law.

Have a telethon every June 19 just like the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon payable to people who can certify their kinship to a former slave.

Two or three years of that and it will wither and go away on its own because the leftist hypocrisy will be exposed.

Serious question, if reparations were given to anyone in the U.S. wouldn't it be the frickin Native Americans? Yeah I know they have some reservations but if anyone was screwed in the past it's those poor people.

Give it to them. Under conditions. No blacks that are paid including future generations will never EVER be able to collect any kind of welfare

Are you telling me that I could see $200+ disappear from my paycheck every month so that frickheads like Jamallious who I watched on video acting at a fool at a North Baton Rouge gas station can get $12k a year for zero reason?

I will pay when:

A) it can be proven the my ancestors owned slaves, AND

B) they can find direct descendants of those slaves my family owned.

Since I know A) did not happen then B) is a moot point.



Nope frick that, not even then. I'm not responsible for some shite that happened well over a century ago.

So, if the Fed's $600 a week is keeping people from returning to work now, what would $350,000 a year do to the work force??
