The Reparations Debate: Should America Compensate the Descendants of Slaves? | The Daily Show

[@walusungumwazikani6525]

Do the people running for office really care about Reparations or is it just another way of trying to get the “Black vote”

[@ktoth29]

obviously its just political pandering.

[@flareb99]

Black vote, they know there is no way of getting this done

[@stealthmaster96]

It's just politics. Reparations makes absolute no sense practically speaking and you cant quantify something as horrible as slavery

[@904TallerTim]

Its an attempt to get the black vote which is what a politician should do. Make promises and uphold those promises to earn a group's vote. Now will they actually do shit except "consider, look into, set up a committee" probably not. So yes getting politicians to do our bidding for our vote is good but lip service for our vote is bad

[@christianj5950]

harris has outright said she's not going to do anything that only benefits black people. similar sentiments from booker, warren, ect. yet they're being touted as "pro-reparations" even though what harris is proposing (a damn tax cut) would do less to help black folks specifically than what people like bernie are arguing for.

[@musicals4thesoul]

Instead of reparations to specific people, how about using the funds to work on the massive socio-economic consequences of slavery and discrimination? Help out predominantly black neighborhoods, improve schooling so school zones don't change the amount of funds received, etc? I feel like because neither side can come together to fix the unjust systems that contribute to more modern discrimination, politicians feel like the only way to help is with a direct deposit that is only a one-time help. That won't fix the consequences of slavery that still affect black communities. (One day later ... So, a lot of people have a lot of different viewpoints to share below, but what I noticed is every 30 comments or so are either anti-Black or anti-white remarks. So let's be clear - those who are angry at white people, please remember that this generation is not the one that enslaved you or kept you. The racism that exists now is most of the time accidental and based on systemic issues rather than deliberate malicious intent. Those who are angry at black people, or who think the black community is holding a grudge, try to remember that while slavery has ended many of the African-American community still experience rampant racism, police brutality, and an unjust justice system. Anger is a reaction to perceived injustice and so if you're noticing they're angry it is a justified response. Both sides are human beings. We're prone to mistakes, feelings, and remorse. Let's all respect that.)

[@leadpaintchips9461]

This, so much this. Instead of throwing cash at a problem, how about we try to make sure that our lives are improved?

[@the_bottomfragger]

I agree. It's just a weird concept to me. Yes, slavery was a horrible thing but I don't think it truly affects a slave's descendant that greatly in our time. There are much more recent injustices towards black people, not just decendants of slaves, that affect their daily lives much more. I don't really like the notion of donating wildly, your option seems much more rational to me. If the US were to apologize financially for their past crimes, they'd have to start with Afghanistan, Iraq and even more importantly, Vietnam, where there are still millions of people crippled by the effects of agent orange.

[@BeeWhistler]

Yeah... if they'd paid the reparations to the slaves themselves, or opted to pay them to any families who still have second or third generation people still living, that might work. But I think a lot of people would ask that the money be invested in training cops to be decent human beings.

[@juliacsam]

Yeah I believe in that idea. It has to be something sustainable. Not just a one time payment thing or payment for an amount of time. It will separate people even more.

[@tjudah9022]

And this is exactly the reason why this country will fail... you people's inability to understand the meaning of stolen generational legacy is disgusting. Further proof that you people understand only fear and blood spilled. I say this all the time, on the eagle of white supremacy there is a right-wing and a left wing... American slavery/racism should have its own commemorative coin... label the sides liberal and conservative with each having a crow in the middle in respect to Jim Crow laws. No heads or tails, when you flip that coin it means the same shit.

It’s what’s going on NOW.

[@Roxasfan86]

I'm not even sure how they would even go about attempting such an endeavor. Do they trace everyone's lineage backwards and find out whose ancestors were enslaved and whose wasn't. Is the payment for just the last generation of slaves or does it stack for every generation. Does before the establishment of the US count too?

yo this is mad how the US works ....considering most of us in africa also have grandparents who've lived under white oppression.(for me its sad seeing how fox news is taking it)

[@hefruth]

We need to be conscious of several facts here. First, blacks are not the only people of color who experience racism. In fact, you're more likely to be murdered if you are an American Indian woman--way too many disappear never to be found every year! American Indians were also enslaved. Would the reparations extend to them? And what about people who don't look black but who have ancestors who were enslaved. Would they be compensated, too? I opposed racism in any form. I also oppose classicism in any form, but we must consider the ramifications of the signals we send if we compensate some, but not all who are affected by racism, misogyny, and enforced poverty.

@@FransenFresse146 I think the idea is that due to the way slavery was handled, black people over generations became poorer. Reparations would help adjust the scale.

I do agree though that free money is a bad idea. Tax cuts and free/subsidized education sounds like a good option.

[@diabetus115]

I’m sorry that’s what happens to you and I wish it wasn’t that way, but there’s no logical reasoning behind me, not a slave-owner, paying you, not a slave, money that I rightfully and legally obtained. If the government back in the 1860s made it so former slave-owners must pay a certain amount to the now freed slaves, that wouldn’t be equal in any way but that would have been one logical way to give back in at least a little bit of money. Now, it’s simply irrelevant. I’m not saying slavery is irrelevant, or the struggles of black peoples are irrelevant, I’m saying that slavery is irrelevant, I’m saying that it wouldn’t have an effect other than as a symbolic gesture. I’ll give an example that’s very toned down to the actual gravity of slavery. I’m not sure if you have an older sibling, but I do, and some teachers didn’t like having my brother in class. So when I came along, they immediately thought the worst of me. I had to prove to my teachers that I was a better student in class than my brother. Hopefully this makes sense, but in this example, my brother would be my ancestors (although as far as I know I had no slave owning ancestors but for the sake of the example we’ll say I did) my teacher represents African American people as a whole, and I represent white people as a whole. Now, what my brother did was wrong, undisputedly, should he have been punished? Yes, of course. Now should I be punished? No I shouldn’t. Simply because we’re not the same person. He should’ve been held accountable, but I can’t be held accountable for something I didn’t do. And also to your other point, I do agree that there is racism in this country. Sadly, there always will be. I know I’m not a racist person, I don’t know you but I’d assume you aren’t either, unfortunately there are racist people.

Professor Plum Yes slavery did end a long time ago, but that shouldn’t be the reason we stop talking about reparations. One could argue that there should be reparations for people who endured Jim Crow, that only ended in the 60’s.

[@Alphacron]

Just to clarify, I'm not by any means saying 'Oh, slavery is over we shouldn't dwell on it.' There are still very real effects of a racial imbalance that stretches back from that era. My point was more that, at least in my opinion (and I'll fully admit that, being white, I'm definitely biased), it would make more sense to put money and effort more towards confronting racism that extends to all people of color in our society. It's not as though only descendants of slaves suffer the negative effects of that slavery. It's an issue of race, not specifically ancestry.

[@Alphacron]

Hence why I said 'directly' affected. There's an undeniable fact that people descended from slaves and people descended from the wealthy landowners who enforced said slavery are obviously going to have a disparity. I'm not arguing that, and that definitely contributes to the racial issues in our country today. From a moral standpoint, it's still an absolutely disgusting thing that doesn't get any less repugnant with time.

Does that mean your great, great grandkids that never had anything to do with WW2 are still paying the great, great grandkids of a Holocaust survivor? That is kind of the issue with this. If this had been done right after the Civil War than those who had benefitted from slavery could have been made to pay those they enslaved. That would have been fair. Now if you want to say we should pay money to those affected by racism or discrimination money for what they went through then that list is going to be mighty long because why should only African Americans get that when other groups have also faced discrimination? It would make more sense to do things that benefitted everyone in a financial group like free college, college debt forgiveness, Medicare for all, living minimum wage, or I've heard minimum monthly income has been suggested for all Americans.

Most nations had legal slavery within their borders for HUNDREDS (or in some cases thousands) of years. The USA had sanctioned slavery for 89 years, if you consider the Declaration of Independence the beginning of the USA. If you consider the constitution's ratification the start, then it's only 76 years. There have now been more generations OUT of slavery than there ever were in slavery. The majority of the founders recognized the evils of slavery, and wanted to abolish it with the Declaration and the Constitution. But left leaning wealthy landowners in the southern colonies were not going to have it. If you place the blame on ideology, it's the safest and most honest place to put it, as ideology never really dies.

It was horrible, people were purposefully starved and worked to death because they were Irish Catholics and not British Protestants. But that was over a hundred and fifty years ago. Yes, we are still feeling the affects of that time and look back at it in sadness and pain, but I have never starved as my ancestors did, nor have I suffered the mass beatings and cruelties they suffered at the hands of their supposed superiors. Eventually you just have to accept what happened in the past happened, and its no one's fault today, so no one should be punished or rewarded for something they never even played a factor in.
