But if writing a check today would mean no more affirmative action, identity politics, or race card BS, who do I make the check out to? it wouldn't remove any of those maybe diminish some, but either way it would take a few generations for the effects to really show up. If it's like AA, reparations would be a "temporary meansure" that never goes away. I remember seeing a video of Sowell in a debate about AA in like 1980. He was saying that it still wasn't working, and asked how many more years of failure we need to see before we move on. The liberal professor he was debating said we need to give AA more time. About 4 decades later... I don't see AA action as a temporary measure, I don't even see it as something that was supposed to force equality, just prevent obvious cases of unequality. Ideally reparations would act as a huge investment into black generational wealth, so the effects wouldn't show up for like 50 years The welfare state as envisioned by LBJ is more than 50 years old and we saw how that worked. American blacks went from having stable nuclear families to off the charts single mother households. --- "Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it." -Thomas Sowell <cite>tennisdude818 posted [p:885362938] in Do black p...
