BigSLM1993 08/24/17 10:43:02 AM #7:	For freed slaves or the children of slaves, yes. I'd actually be sympathetic for those living under segregation to make their case, but idk . It was nearly impossible to be a success and Black during slavery and immensely difficult during segregation. Especially when a crown jewel like Black Wallstreet can be destroyed in a race riot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_race_riot). But for current times, no. I don't think I deserve to profit off of the suffering my ancestors had.

PotHeadDog 08/24/17 11:15:34 AM #26:	No. How do you even determine who has to pay? Didn't like 1/3rd of white Americans come AFTER slavery ended? Do they have to pay too? What about white people who are mostly but not fully white? There's also the fact that no one alive today had anything to do with slavery so reparations will never happen. Black people who weren't actually slaves don't deserve a dime. If any former slaves were still living i'd have no issue giving them reparations. <cite>PotHeadDog posted [p:885361790] in Do black p...

gamepimp12 08/24/17 4:01:44 PM #47:	GreatEvilEmpire posted... No. I can’t believe some people are still fixated on this BS. This is victimization of the mind at its finest. How is that victimization ? tennisdude818 posted... gamepimp12 posted... tennisdude818 posted... gamepimp12 posted... tennisdude818 posted... They don't. 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. That has more to do with the war on drugs than anything else --- we rich now but used to be slaves,we pushing whips now we used to be whipped,rockin chains when we used to be in 'em <cite>gamepimp12 posted [p:885377521] in Do black p...
