Reparations for african-americans

[Az]

I want to say that I agree with Drake.

Powell and Condie aren't black... BTW, the color of your skin doesn't make you "black".

:


Why not? do you think that being black is living in da hood, and chilling with da hommies? Do you think that Bill Cosby is white because he's not selling crack?

damn, man... that's the stupidest statement I've ever heard from you.

of course blacks support reparations....if you thought you could get free money you'd support it, too. If there are any slaves still alive, then I'd be all for it. And even black who are over a certain age. But younger blacks did not go through slavery or discrimination and therefore, I don't feel they're anymore entitled to reparations than I am.

It's good sig material though

Damn you damn you damn you. I wanted it first.

I dumped all of my old sig material, and replaced it with stuff from this thread

[Al B. Sure!]

actually is the percentage of blacks in favour of reparations even that high? i remember seeing a poll asking blacks if they favoured reparations and i remember it was about 50-50 for and against... but i may be confusign it with another topic.

thanks

At the end of the civil war a large number of slave owners were bankrupt. My family definitely owned slaves, but after the war they were bankrupt and lost everything. What I have now isn't a result of money my ancestors made off the sweat of slaves' backs, but instead comes from what they managed to do for themselves after everything they made off of their slaves was gone. A more important issue is the way blacks were beaten down after the war.

Remember that there are two types of racists.

What about the third type who says black people must think a certain way to be black?

Yes. I thought that was obvious.

[Kidlicious]

He was just joking.

[DinoDoc]

Then why would you feel the need to defend such idiocy?

If ole whitey has to pay reparations does that also mean the AFRICANS that sold their Brothers are responsible too?

Or what about free blacks who themselves bought slaves? Are we supposed to give the decendents of former slave holders reparations?

This is just to stupid.

[Al B. Sure!]

like i said earlier, reparations are a mess and they open up a huge can of worms and only start to pit people against each other...

so no to reparations...

Don't confuse it with capitalism.
