'Reparations for Our Black Community' debate

Did Jewish people get reparations? We know the answer to that .Why is a Jewish person saying anything otherwise after receiving any type of compensation for their plight? Why shouldn't others be given a fair shake to show equity?

What I see is the black media calling all non-black people racists and the government built on systemic racism despite the countless efforts to equalize the playing field. The old adage, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t MAKE them drink” comes to play. The reparations argument is about having things handed to you even though you are not the ones who suffered for it. The opportunity to change circumstances is there but you can’t MAKE people take advantage of opportunity. I’m afraid that’s on them. But the idea it will just be given to you is just so unrealistic, it’s a moot point. I’m all for resurrecting black Americans image of themselves.

Common ground? The debt is the debt an a debt must be paid, economic inclusion is the only common ground. The United States was built on the free labor, King cotton was 70% of the world's economy the wealth of the United States was also built on that free labor so the wealth is still in the country, the gas that started to make this great engine of America what it is today for all of those that have come looking for a better way of life. That also means that the disparities and the loss of that wealth that was never paid for it's also still here for the American descendants of slavery This has existed since 1619. But from 1776 the founding of this country until present day this country has a debt that hasn't been paid. And to say that many people will be upset, not the issue. The federal government upheld and passed these laws the United States federal government must also pay this debt And to speak of the people that died during the civil war. Let's not forget there were at least 200,000 black troops that also died to free themselves in that same war something that could have easily been resolved without war.

[@anonymoususer4376]

yes, all that wealth was built upon slave labor. what debt does the federal government have to former slaves? they never sanctioned slavery. and they created a law a couple decades after the founding the country stopping new slaves from being imported. the federal government never owned slaves or ran slave auctions. but the biggest problem for reparations is that you don't give it to people generations after the incident. you give it to the person or their immediate family.

[@ORTEZW]

You need to guess again. Just as anyone else the Jewish community and so forth who have received reparations and native Americans. The American descendants of slavery standing the shoes. As well the federal government passed all of the laws that either condoned and allowed slavery Even laws that once escaped from slavery that you would have to be returned. Do we really need to go into slavery by another name redlining and other disparities that the American descendants of slavery face reparations isn't just about slavery that is the start. As far as any law that bandit the slave trade did not banned slavery. Even the civil war when Lincoln's so-called freed the slaves emancipation it was only those slaves that were in the South the states that separated not those from the states that did not separate from the United States. So yes the United States federal government is responsible they said the laws that everyone else operated under. The supreme Court a black man has no rights that a white man has to respect. 3/5 Claus would you affected representation. Voting rights. The list goes on and this was all by the hands of the federal government Who just is easy as banding the slave trade in America could have also ended slavery in 1776 so again we are standing in the shoes,

[@anonymoususer4376]

@@ORTEZW the difference is that they received it shortly after incident ended. not 150 years later. there's no just way to give anything out at this point. plus no one was directly affected by slavery. if this were 1885 then I'd say yes, reparations should be considered.

[@ORTEZW]

@@anonymoususer4376 The fact that reparations were not paid after the civil war was due to the federal government as well.

You speak of directly harmed all of those that have descended from those that were enslaved in this country or directly harmed and at this point not only due to slavery.

So a black man named Anthony Johnson brings slavery to America from a black country called Africa and then all the sudden 200 years later white people are supposed to pay for it concern the fact that I'm not even racist and my best friend is black. But it's kind of funny how most black people tend to be more racist than any white folks. I myself as a white person have never been racist and don't know of anybody who is and most white people don't ever bring race up. If you hear anything about race it's usually from a Democrat or a black person. I don't understand the logic behind it but that's from what my experience with it is. But I can tell you I'm not giving money to anyone. And if this kind of thing ever became some type of mandatory free welfare check it would probably create a war

Why are you guys asking for what belong to our Ancestors? What we are due is OUR INHERITANCE, 250 years WORTH! Our people were forced into slavery working 18hours or more everyday plus what ever the massas, their wives and friends decided they wanted to do to them from the youngest to the oldest. REPARATIONS were to help the Enslaved start their life. That is not due us. But as I said, Inheritance is. 250 years worth of FORCED work. If our people had been paid as they should have been, they would have left an hefty INHERITANCES but instead the Massas family is living off of it still today for some. Do you guys realize that some of the offsprings are working for companies that were created with money from slavery? We are working to earn money that already belong to us because our Ancestors already earned it. Why are you guys still asking for what we're not due and besides, you're asking for pennies on the dollar. We are due Millions, not hundreds of thousands.

@dorothywashington Nothing is due, especially to people alive today. Your line of thinking makes no sense. Believe me, we all have had to deal of late with your efforts to raise your collective self-esteem at everyone else’s expense and we have said nothing. But enough is enough. The hard truth is that 12% of black Americans today are considered upper class, up to 60% of black americans are middle class and 19% live below the poverty line (many by choosing not to work). GET OVER YOURSELVES! You are doing just as well as the rest of us. BUT, you have insulted, ridiculed, and distorted the very principles on which this country was founded and the damage you’ve done to it is just as significant as what the MAGATS have done on the other side. The 2 fringes are just alike. It is not a coincidence that both groups are comprised of the least educated, least qualified among us. Well enough is enough!! Reparations is a dead issue now. PLEASE, for all of our sakes, SHUT UP about it. It’s not going to happen. If you want to distort and twist history to make yourself feel better about yourself, go ahead, but for god’s sake keep it to yourself. Thanks largely to that ridiculous, corrupt BLM organization, you have had your 15 minutes of fame and you blew it. It was all based on fictions and accomplished nothing except division in this country, extortion attempts thru the legal system, the resurrection of racism in this country, and the RIDICULOUS notion of reparations which has now been shut down. Maybe if you all had actually gone to class and paid attention in history class all of this so-called “new history” would not be so new (not to mention so distorted and embellished). This assertion that money is owed to black americans for slavery and their “free labor is BS. It was hardly free. Who do you think paid for food, shelter, clothing, medical care for the slaves? You want Americans, who are in the same boat as you, to hand you millions of dollars because of something that happened to someone else hundreds of years ago? Delusional! It’s NOT going to happen. YOU are the modern RACISTS. You seem to hate everyone except yourselves. You will even glorify criminals if they happen to be black. You all need to wake up and stop this nonsense.

If we created a clause by which every ADOS must be able to trace his lineage to an enslaved individual, I think it would provide the necessary condition to allow for reparations to be paid out. It would promote the research into our pasts and provide opportunities for us to learn about our current familial extensions. It would have a double benefit to black Americans. Moreover, there exists those in the black community whom wouldn’t necessarily care to withdraw from the reparations trust. Myself for instance, don’t feel that I’d need the money and that it would be better placed in the hands of one of my brothas. Idk. I think white ppl have this assumption that the ask for reparations is a selfish one rooted in greed meant to bankrupt they’re system. When it’s really an ask for what’s deserved… I think we am better define the “deserving” of any future payments, and it would make it then they’re job to explain why they’re position would still be in opposition. If it is still opposing it would force them to reveal the truth behind the resistance, which is likely deeply racist.

[@HealMobile]

Ask Amadou Diallo's parents if your suggestion makes sense and is fair. Africans of the diaspora must heal themselves of caring what Europeans and EurAmericans think about our unity. We need only display it, and insist on restitution and reparations AND that means doing with the money what we want, not what's approved. What's to be agreed on, on the table, as a matter of public policy, this is the demand/invitation for government to consider.

[@AQUTENOLEJ]

@@HealMobile I agree with you whole heartedly. But, I think your motion doesn’t consider the fact that because it’s money we’re talking about, it is inherently an ask, and therefore requires compromise. Because of this fact, we can’t simply “operate in a vaccuum” so to speak. The Eurocentric opinion unfortunately does matter, unless you take their money off the table (which we are not if we’re asking for reparations). So, my position simply states that, given this necessary compromise… let’s kill the proverbial straw man that gets in the way of these conversations (I.e. the “which blacks are deserving” part), and get this ball rolling. I know for a fact that I personally would want for my people to have access to the resources, although I’d likely not need it much myself. That’s all I’m saying.
