Our boat fleets continuously monitor known and likely dump spots for recently deported persons from America.
For a small fee, we will bail you out of the water and smuggle you back to the US! However our services aren’t guaranteed, and after payment, you will be required to sign a form that doesn’t hold us liable in the event of your death prior to our arrival.
Please note, in the unlikely event of your death you must forfeit your pre-payment deposit.
“Awe man my boy used dem water bailouts and used a scam company, now he dead. Careful my homie, use SlipNSlide, they always come thru”
That I remember, the last great "reparation" was what happened after WW I when France demanded that Germany pay for all the damage it had caused. This caused Germany to spiral into bankruptcy and out of that rose Hitler and the Nazi party, followed shortly by WW II... (I realize i'm oversimplifying but the basics were just that) - The currency of unreasonable "reparations" is usually hot lead.
Get ready for a "white people tax" if Dems get control again. It won't be called that, it will something to do with reparations, but it will simply be yet another transfer of wealth. The taxes will largely be pocketed by Dems and other corrupt elements anyways.
After the tax comes straight up confiscating property owned by whites. It will be along the lines of, "You don't deserve that nice house in the suburbs when poor blacks are in public housing." They will take you home and move you into a camp or gov housing. Think it can't happen? It happened in Russia during their communist revolution and that's really the purpose of all the protests.
Seriously. Reparations are now built into every human interaction, and have been for years. Hasn’t at all been productive.
The hard part about being black is growing up in broken fatherless homes that welfare ruined, and among the toxic side of black culture that the media and politicians helped grow to keep them down.
Outside of that, being black is really fucking easy and ‘privileged’ in America. Out here in the Bay, free ride through college, infinite programs to get anything you’d like for free, you can say and do whatever the fuck you want and you’re untouchable, top of the list for all jobs, you don’t have angry mobs roaming around trying to lynch you for your race. According to Oregon, you’re even immune to wearing a mask during the Wuhan Pandemic because racism is a virus too. If your family isn’t fucked up and you don’t get into toxic parts of black culture, being black in America is now the easiest thing on the fucking planet. It’s like playing with cheat codes.
And welfare, and affirmative action, and laws spreading funds equally to all school districts so white districts fund black districts, and then having said black school districts still suck even with the same budget. Reparations by whites to blacks is done and paid for. Now lets talk about reparations paid by blacks to whites for the massive racially target violent crime and rape perpetrated by blacks against whites.
In MN, those inner city schools get more funding per pupil than the wealthy suburbs and the results are far worse. I guess throwing money at something does not solve the problem.
How dare they. My great great grandfather got his arm shot off in the Civil War. Imagine the pain and horror! And as a young man, had to live the rest of his life with only one arm!
I want to be first in line for reparations, or I will start the tax rebellion and pay taxes no more!!!
It is. It will fail but the seeds have been planted. I'll be 56 in a month. I predict reparations will occur in my lifetime. Lefties keep grinding. Examples? Washington Redskins. The discussion has been going on for decades. Next month we'll have the Washington Hugepussies and the Cleveland Cucks.
As a kid, I was often mistaken for Puerto Rican. One time I was standing in a photo between a dark black guy (Harry) and my father. People said “I didn’t know Harry had a son”.
So.. if discrimination is a function of skin color, how is that going to work for me? Where is my government cheese?
Right. Is it just skin color and not ancestry? What about black albinos? Their skin is whiter than mine. If you make it ancestry though, it would only be 4% of the population or something. And what do you do about people like me whose grandparents--both sets--came to the US after slavery was abolished? The concept makes as much sense as the last 2 seasons of GoT
It's not a poem, it's a song from Drawn Together comedically exaggerating how the system exploits black people for its own gain, but making a serious point about how certain groups treat the black community.
The recent corporate pandering and hijacking of black issues makes it extremely relevant IMO.
So you don't think that the Democrats have had any effect on the black community?
You think the destruction of the black family unit has no effect on the choices and opportunities of the individual?
The fact remains they have been used to their own detriment by certain groups as a political tool and had their communities destroyed by Democratic policies and welfare dependence.
While I am sure it is not your intent, your position implies that black people are inferior and naturally pre-deposed to crime and poverty. I do not accept that.
It's just to appear woke. I know Ghanaians over there who are pissed about this statement. They say the black Americans don't really care about Africans they have names they call them behind their backs and only bring up Africa to make money like what Beyonce is doing.
The black American culture is seriously frowned upon there. The black Americans get entertained there because of the money the country gets from tourism.
Every non America born black person I’ve ever met absolutely hates black Americans. They call them lazy and say they give us all a bad name shit is wild
Are you kidding?? Reparation Black Americans don’t want to live in Ghana in a shack surrounded by Africans speaking their “funny” language! And eating traditional foods, wearing colorful ethnic clothing. They want to be given a tax payer funded $500k, 4 bd, 3 bath 3000sf home with a fenced yard and in-ground pool. A new $70k Yukon in the driveway. But not in Chicago or Atlanta! In a nice, safe, white neighborhood in the suburbs.
Reminds me about the gulag quote. The one where they say it was always the communists who had the hardest time in the gulags. Followed by an imitation of their thoughts that went something along the lines of:
No, they say "well that's not for me to decide". It a spineless deflection. They do it because an answer would make them think to hard.
Similar to the dishonest "I'm personal against abortion, but it's not my decision to make for someone else". It's putting LIFE on balance to ice creme.
Then they'd complain that we're naming a destructive and deadly weather system after a black person, which equates violence with black people, which is racist.
This shit is so easy, no wonder so many lazy fucks want jobs in the grievance industry.
" The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here." - unless you're a democrat (shockingly the same party Lincoln was fighting, funny that).
Slavery to globalism perhaps. We've been sacrificing jobs and income to the Altar of "Free Trade" and open borders for decades. While systematically pushing the goal posts for a middle class standard of living further and further back. Home ownership, raising a family, and even basic health care is bordering on luxury status especially in the metro.
More people, less jobs, smaller wages, and rising prices. Theres only one way that shit ends. Only in the last 4 years did wages and jobs roll YOY decade over decade growth. Wonder what happened?
You trade your life (in hours of work) for money the the feds take your money.
How is that different from slavery?
Local taxes to go to local efforts make sense.
As for the US military, fund it through tariffs on goods from abroad (keeps manufacturing jobs home) and or war bonds. We do not need 100s of over seas military bases, we need bases all along our southern border badly.
If ever there were a way to revitalize supremacy movements and encourage a race war, forcing members of a race to pay for the sins of their ancestors is certainly the thing to do.
Large majority of white and blacks ancestors had zero to do with colonial slavery and immigrated after WW2. Notice how I said colonial slavery. As the can of worms during the medieval, feudal, and tribal periods not a single humans forebearer's hands are clean. Where do we draw the line? At the last iteration of which not a single person is alive that partook? That infact their direct descendants fought to end? That THEIR direct descendants expanded upon and even made more equitable. To this day if you're a minority in the west and apply for consideration in nearly any process. You will be given preferential treatment. Jobs, contracts, applications, assistance, housing, funding, education, admission, ET AL.
Some say reparations need to be paid; I counter with they already have been. They've just been taken for granted.
And most of their ancestors weren't slaves either but by virtue of their skin colour some British black guy could move to America and automatically get free money because of reparations.
"Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin." ~ Deuteronomy 24:16
Even more retarded if your family immigrated her during the potato famine and may or may not have understood the paper’s they signed when they got of the boat to fight for the union but white man gotta pay reparations anyway
"All we want is to end slavery and be free."
"All we want is to end segregation."
"All we want is to be judged by the content of our character rather than the color of our skin."
"All we want is welfare state to support us because of lack of opportunity."
"All we want is affirmative action to make up for generations of lack of opportunity."
"All we want is reparations (from everyone who has never owned a slave)."
"All we want is more reparations because the last reparations weren't enough. We spent it and are worse off than when we started."
"All we want is continuous reparations because our reparations money keeps ending back in the hands of evil white supremacists we bought our new rides and tech from."
"All we want is to take down the evil white supremacists (who are all white people) so that we are all on the same level. We can't be bought like slaves by 'reparations'."
"All we want is to enslave white people like they enslaved our ancestors."
I dunno, Pornhub front page seems to imply that they do want to enslave white people. Every day, there is some sort of interracial porn, often with the black person domming the white.
I read a while back that incest was becoming more common on the front page of these sites too.
Everything is pushing an agenda, and to be honest if I put a tinfoil hat on, I'm starting to believe that we're all pawns being used to divide and destabilize this country by growing a split between fellow Americans like this.
Oh no, the last rant wasn't using the porn site as a pushing point for it. It's just one thing in a very long list of things; it's just very obvious that the leftist black "community" (imagine lumping an entire race into a single community) doesn't just want to kill us, they feel they deserve to enslave us. It was a bit of a tongue in cheek bitter "joke"
unfortunately ive seen where this go enough times that i do not believe they want to enslave us. other people want this, absolutely. reality suck, nature is brutal, and humans are in fact part of it.
Most people watch pornography. The easiest way to push a narrative is to insulate people. It's a perfect medium. Most people will not talk about it openly and they will watch curated stuff for the most part. You curate it, and you normalize it. If you do talk about it, you will probably talk about the "normal" or populat stuff, which is what they have already curated for the general public.
This is literally how Haiti was started! And look how well it went since then!
On 1 January 1804, Dessalines proclaimed Haiti an independent nation.[17] Dessalines later gave the order to all cities on Haiti that all white men should be put to death.[14] The weapons used should be silent weapons such as knives and bayonets rather than gunfire, so that the killing could be done more quietly, and avoid warning intended victims by the sound of gunfire and thereby giving them the opportunity to escape.[18]
Girard wrote that since black generals took the property belonging to the white ex-slaveholders, "economic interest" prompted the massacres.
I used to think that but now the list of guns i can buy is on a short list. my job options are restricted because of my skin color. my university allowed other people with lower grades because of my skin color.
i cant protest but they can because if my skin color. my story is no longer taugh because of my skin color. because regularly tell me I'm not allowed to speak because if my skin color. need i go on?
i cant protest but they can because if my skin color
All the other stuff is true, but this rings even harder. None of us are allowed to protest anything. We're not allowed to celebrate the birthday of our country. We're not allowed to see loved ones during this stupid pandemic. We're not allowed to work. We're not allowed to complain. We're not allowed to criticize.
Avi Yemini covered some of the rioters and protesters in Australia -- because of course, some guy in America being killed means the entire world needs to fall apart -- and almost every fuck outright said whites don't matter.
That's not uncommon from the left.
Once upon a time, I was a left leaning feminist. But the fateful night when Hillary stole her nomination and I saw a complete 180 across Reddit, where it was constant mocking and shit talking of the hag one night, and completely harsh white knighting for her the next, I was pushed into the Trump camp and was welcomed immediately. Now I am much more conservative despite being a moderate in comparison to the left.
This was on top of having my family be called racist for not voting Obama in both of his elections.
I hate what leftism has become. Nothing is ever enough for them. At all. They completely forgot -- either deliberately or accidentally -- what the dynamic of conservatism vs progressivism was always meant to be.
i voted obama. sadly its not even left against right anymore. its western way of life, represented by the white man vs the world, and half of us have been convinced to let it happen, the other half is too afraid to lose anything (and might end up losing everything) or being called a racist to stand up.
people always wonder how hitler came to power, how the ussr was born, and so on. its how. the usa is an anomaly and that's being rectified through racism as we speak
There is no way back. I hope you all realize that now. Millennials are going to finally have to stand up and give their life meaning by fighting for their freedom. You always wanted a purpose to your life, right?
I find it hilarious that if people notice that blacks on average have a higher chance of excelling athletically, no one bats an eye. Yet when people notice how on average blacks are mentally no so great, everyone loses their minds and makes excuses for it.
I said this on /unpopularopinion and got trashed but not only are you 100% right in what you said, slavery, as bad as it was, was the best thing that happened to black people in the long run.
Slavery was very common in that time anyway, muslims enslaved blacks on massive scale and in worse conditions, muslims enslaved whites too, whites enslaved whites, blacks enslaved other blacks etc.
The slavery in the US was very tame when compared to the slavery that happened in Africa anyway.
Last but not least, let's say slave trade in the US never happened. White people simply ignored Africa. Muslims and other black people would be enslaving anyway but that's besides the point.
The point is that up until black colonization, black people were literally stone-age. They leaped tens of thousands of years because of colonization and US slavery.
Had that not happened and blacks were left completely isolated in Africa, where do you think black people would be now? Would they had magically caught back thousands of years of civilization in 400 years?
No, they would be like those amazonian tribes we observe from the helicopter. Just on a massive scale.
I really like this website as it seems to be the only place I can come for information that is not media controlled to such an extent that, dissenting opinions are filtered out of search results. That being said, this opinion is seriously flawed. If all of the research you have done has yielded this as your conclusion either your research method is flawed or you haven't done your due diligence. Seriously, think about your opening sentence.
"Black americans get fucked by their heritable avg lower IQ there I said it all the data I see point in that direction."
Imagine being in a race with someone who is wheel chair bound. Yes you won but it does not mean that you are good at running. It means that you are good at running against people who are wheel chair bound. Like wise, while IQ is purportedly the best psychometric test available to test cognitive ability, that does not mean it is a good or accurate one.
Most people use The Bell Curve as the basis for their argument despite the endless negative treatment the book and author have received. So I am not going to touch on that.
What seems more likely, that people who live in low income areas seem less intelligent due to their primary focus being things other than education since they have other base level priorities? Or that they are just born stupid? Saying a persons "race," has anything to do with anything is an easy out for people who don't want to take responsibility for their situation, their actions or both. See two examples:
Person A is a single mom. She blames the system for her problems. It isn't her fault that she got pregnant, decided to keep the child and is now working at an entry level job where she is dependent on Welfare to survive. This persons offspring will be at home alone after school (because their parent is working). They will be influenced and brought up by the kids in the neighborhood. They will have no one to ensure their school work is done. They will have no one to teach them all kinds of things that would really be useful for the rest of their life.
Person B decided to use birth control because a pregnancy would not allow her to complete higher education, secure a good job, find a partner worth having kids with or have anything nice she wants in life. When she has kids, she will have the means to spend time with them. She will more than likely have a partner who is vested in the well being of the kid(s). The kid will have positive role models to learn from.
My point is single motherhood is more likely the cause. "Race," has a very loose definition and provides an easy out. Anyone who wants reparations is as big of a piece of shit as anyone who believes in "race." My point is "race" is too loosely defined to have any practical application.
How about we take responsibility for our actions and our situations like grown ups instead of blaming everything else but ourselves. Dead slave owners and an overextended definition of "race," that fails to stand up in the face of multiculturalism, have nothing to do with it.
Also, for your sake "americans," should be capitalized and "point," should be points. Not being able to write coherently reduces an argument on intelligence.
I used to think it was a poverty problem too. Look up crime rates and SAT scores across race AND income level.
Even within the same socioeconomic bracket, blacks commit crimes at almost 5 times the rate of whites, and perform dramatically lower on the SATs.
I’m not happy this is the case. I don’t know what to do about it. But chalking it up to poverty isn’t going to solve it. There are plenty of highly intelligent black people. There are black heroes and patriots. I love them. The problem is that in the lower half of the bell curve, the bottom falls out very quickly and the “dead weight” portion of black America is just far and away more destructive, violent, and unmotivated than the equivalent white underclass. To a level our society is not just equipped to handle.
I’m not saying we should give up and ship them all back to Africa. But we need to address the problem head on instead of dancing around it and pretending handing over more cash or building more schools is going to fix it. And we can’t solve a problem if we’re not even allowed to talk openly about it.
Typed this on my phone so sorry if there are typos.
Can you provide me with a working definition of "blacks?" If a person is mixed are they "black"? Does it depend how they identify? If a white person has a black great grand parent are they white or black? Where do mixed people fall in these metrics? Is a mixed Asian American with "black," going to fall in the middle of the chart? And can you explain how genetics would have a larger impact on how well a person performs in life whether it is competence/intelligence/IQ or whatever named metric?
Are the Asians being considered in these metrics American Asians? Or are they Asians from China brought up not to fail because they literally have nothing to go back to in China/Malaysia/Vietnam? When I say nothing to go back to I mean their family will literally disown them.
I am still of the opinion that peoples failure to take responsibility for their actions results in this perfect storm. When "black" role models hype up violence, sex and drugs what do you think young "black" youth think of that? Do they prioritize it? And put it on a pedestal?
The expectation of my Asian friends going to high school was to become a doctor/lawyer/etc. They were pressured to the breaking point on a regular basis. It wasn't American "wishful thinking," it was "we are your parents it is your duty to do this." It was expected that they secure a good job and bring favor upon their families name. Even my African friends had the same expectations. They held themselves in such high regard. But African Americans/Blacks are simply expected not to go to jail? This doesn't make sense, it is inconsistent. It is almost as though because they have lower expectations on them from their families/schools/peers/etc. they achieve less.
Why then do foreigners come to America and excel while people naturally born in America fail? Albert Einstein in his personal notes found the Chinese repulsive and dirty. How is it that these same Chinese people are smarter than everyone else/almost everyone else on our psychometric evaluations? Well I'll tell you why, they aren't sending the slower members of their populations to America. So of course Asians score higher on our tests.
Sorry this is a mouth full, but I have been looking into this for years and still find it hard to believe that some people are just dumb because of their "race," when "race isn't even backed by science. That is the easy answer. People need to take responsibility for their actions and their situations.
It is absolutely abhorring to me when people have kids and they are not in a position to give those kids the best quality of life they can. Kids have so much potential, and for it to be squandered due to the poor decisions of their parents and the low expectations placed upon them by society is a failure upon all of us.
I see you're still in the stage of denial as a result of decades of indoctrination and brainwashing.
That's okay and I can't blame you.
But just consider this... are you willing to be open to truth, even when you don't like it, it's uncomfortable and it's against everything that you've been taught?
Truth is truth, whether you like it or not.
Do you accept that Africans are better at athletics? Have bigger penises than Asians? Are some races taller than others? Have different skin colors? Is intelligence genetic? Are our genetics inherited from our parents?
Not all X are like that is called the NAXALT fallacy, just because there's examples and exceptions does not mean that the centre line doesn't exist.
'But we are all equal!' Equal in what? I'm different to you in every way, nothing about us is equal. To think that we are all equal is an indoctrinated thought.
The possibility that races can have different levels of intelligence to each other is not a radical thought, we are taught that it's racist to even consider this, therefore it can't be true...but what if it is?
Have you noticed how there has never been a prosperous and well run African country that is run by Africans? Rhodesia and South Africa were prosperous when they were governed by Europeans. Look what happened as soon as the Europeans are over thrown and kicked out... Have you noticed that crime rates of Africans in Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand that have no history of being slaves have parallels in crime to that of Africans in America? Therefore slavery can't be the reason for the higher representation of crime rates in America. What if there is a simple explanation for this that you've never considered because it's a forbidden thought?
The point of this thinking is not about racial superiority, it's about recognizing our differences, strengths and weaknesses and how it can explain the world around us. Once the truth is recognized, we can then start to think about how best to solve the issues that these communities face.
E.g What has previously worked well for the black communities? Having nuclear families, going to church and responsibilities for themselves. The welfare state has done more harm than good and it has destroyed African American communities.
You cannot ask the relative of someone to pay for the damages caused. So how could you do that with this when slavery was legal at a time? It’s just a moral issue based on the past. It’s reaching so goddamn far.
If there was one thing to take me over the line, this would be it.
Try and force this on the average citizen after putting up with the last month+ of the most racist behavior I've ever seen in my life from the very same group.
The last I checked a lot of white people went and killed a lot of other white people to free those slaves and crippled the country in the long run. Are the people who saved some long past dead slaves responsible? Shouldn't they be your heroes? Reparations from who? The 400k or so dead people who owned slaves? A large portion of which died in said war. Shouldn't the black people owe the northern whites for saving them? Can we get northern white reparations from the former slave's descendants? I think all those dead northerners is more than payment for any sins of a small fraction of the long dead southern population.
People like to leave out half the conversation and distort the other half.
Utter bullshit and excuse making for 60 years of the Democrats failed welfare system and other evil policies that has nearly done as much damage to Blacks in America as slavery. Except it is happening TODAY.
For example, Democrats and the welfare they enacted have cost much of the Black community their family structure, their businesses, their dignity, used them for medical experimentation, used them in sports and the entertainment industry as little more than dancing and singing minstrels, while pocketing most of the money.
Because of draconian crime bills and welfare, they literally destroyed Black fatherhood, instead putting in its place a plethora of female single parent households which is one of the biggest causes of the literal slaughter house of Black lives in our cities. They ply them with victimhood narratives, and undermine any sense of independence and agency of thought.
Thanks to "affirmative action, Blacks who are middle class are looked at with suspicion as to the validity of their accomplishments, fair or not. They terrorize them with false information and crys of "RACISM!" every four years to insure their votes. They regularly employ Black poliitcal "overseers", which they lavish with money and false prestige, to keep the rabble in line and the Democratic votes rolling in.
So successful has this nefarious plan been, many Black people suffer from something akin to Stockholm syndrome and continue to vote for them, year and year, despite all of the above. No other people on planet earth vote nearly 92% +- for the same party, unless they are under some form of duress.
Why don't the Democrats atone for something more recent - their never ending hatred for Black people since the Civil Rights act and their destructive welfare and other policies for the past nearly 60 years.
They know they can grab some black votes (and some white ones) by crying about how blacks just need a few more gibs to magically raise themselves out of poverty. As if they wouldn't just blow it all on a month's rent and a few stops at McDonald's.
Hell they even talk about how bad the boat ride was from Africa. Slaves. Noticed how I said my great grandpa arrives. Well his father my great great grandpa died on the trip from an illness he got onboard along a few other immigrants, my great great grandma didn't last much longer either dying a few days after arrival.
These people really have no bearing on history. Month long boat voyages weren't simple things
And slaves are the only ones who ever suffered in the whole of history. Serfs and indentured servitude weren't ever a thing. When they start taking up the cause of current slaves, then I might have the tiniest smidge of respect for them. Until then, they're all talk.
Well they better get reparations from those Africans that originally enslaved them. The European powers NEVER went into the interior of Africa to capture slaves. The European powers would build a fort/trading post on the coast of Africa and the local African tribes would bring slaves to sell at the fort/ trading post. The European powers had VERY little knowledge of the interior of Africa until the NINETEENTH CENTURY!
They just want to symbolically tie the date 1619 with the USA, they don't care about reparations. The left will never be satisfied with an amount, it is about hurting America and calling it "RaCIsT" even though the USA has nothing to do with 1619.
Where did the slaves from 1619 come from? Africa. Who captured and sold the slaves to the evil white men? Africans.
What about all of the indian slaves that had already existed before and after 1619 in north, central and Latin America?
Other than luck pulling a Hail Mary and screwing you royal, I must agree with you. There is little reason people can’t haul themselves out of poverty in America.
The reputations will take money from me, a non white minority, and give money to blacks. Lmfao. Fucking racist scum bags. If they ever pass this, we have to have a civil war.
I was wondering about that. So if you’re 2nd or 3rd generation Guatemalan or your family is all Filipino or your parents moved to the US from South Korea 30 years ago or you’re Rapanui - welcome to America and pay your tribute to these black people?! What about Americans who live on a reservation or claim Indian heritage? They’re exempt? These democrats squatting in our nation’s Capitol are ridiculously stupid.
Of course it is. It's a fascist ramp up to white genocide. All will be clear in hindsight. You'll look back on this in 20 years and say, "Of course. Why couldn't I see it at the time? It all makes perfect sense."
I say give whoever wants reparations can have the equivalent of 40 acres and a mule but you take that money and go back to where your slave ancestors came from.
Since we are revisiting the past and addressing the wrongs of slavery, we must go all the way. Address the issue at its root, in mainland Africa.
• Demarcate the slave traders and slave hunters, of various warring tribes
• Investigate and pinpoint any institution or system which engaged in slave catching
• Compile the list of nations/tribes/slave masters/hunters/traders or warlords who profited from them, any present-day institutions or countries which are actively or passively benefitted from the legacy of the slave trade
• Identify the descendants of these individuals
• Extract reparations from these entities as well
However, something tells me it would be likely that the average wealth and prosperity of the descendants of former slaves in America are greater than the descendants of the slavers in Africa. So I am not sure how this will work.
I came to a realization last night. Everyone who fights for BLM right now comes from a place of self loathing. White middle class youth who loath their own skin color and culture. Black urban people who loath the fact that they come from poor violent communities. They are told in school and by Democrats to loath their own history. Every one of these people hate themselves and are striking out in anger at anything and everything, even their own children.
Show me a Black Republican and I'll show you a person who loves themselves and their families. They take pride in their work and in people they surround themselves with. They work to lift people up and not tear people down. Many of them came from the exact same broken communities that BLM represents, and they found a way out. They solved the puzzle. The answer wasn't found by striking out. The answer was found by striking within.
This is such nonsense. I'm mixed race, and I can trace my familial lineage back to Louisiana slaves. So what the hell am I supposed to do, pay myself?
Liberals love to show mixed race couples in advertising, and love to show little mulatto kids like myself showing off their Old Navy t-shirts, but when it comes right down to it they couldn't give less of a damn about us. I'm glad I broke my conditioning and took the red pill back in 2016.
Even if this did somehow pass, and even if I did qualify for reparations, they can take it and shove it. I can pay my own way, thanks.
Gib me dat.
No. You can't even have incarceration any more. We will deport you to international waters.
Introducing our new America smuggling services.

This is way funnier than it has any right to be.

Have an upvote.
And owned most of the cotton companies in the south too.
and triggered a civil war when the south began pushing them out and resisting nationalization/internationlization of the banking system
They think this will help get them the Plantation slave vote. Only slaves would fall for this shit!
That I remember, the last great "reparation" was what happened after WW I when France demanded that Germany pay for all the damage it had caused. This caused Germany to spiral into bankruptcy and out of that rose Hitler and the Nazi party, followed shortly by WW II... (I realize i'm oversimplifying but the basics were just that) - The currency of unreasonable "reparations" is usually hot lead.
And none of those groups, aside from whites, waged a bloody war in order to free slaves!
I think the "green energy movement" is the biggest scam, but this could be a close second.
"Ree, my dude."
That bill is straight up buying votes with taxpayer money in order to steal more taxpayer money.
Get ready for a "white people tax" if Dems get control again. It won't be called that, it will something to do with reparations, but it will simply be yet another transfer of wealth. The taxes will largely be pocketed by Dems and other corrupt elements anyways.
After the tax comes straight up confiscating property owned by whites. It will be along the lines of, "You don't deserve that nice house in the suburbs when poor blacks are in public housing." They will take you home and move you into a camp or gov housing. Think it can't happen? It happened in Russia during their communist revolution and that's really the purpose of all the protests.
They've already done that with affirmative action, and the GOP will tar and feather you if you even think about ending that.
Seriously. Reparations are now built into every human interaction, and have been for years. Hasn’t at all been productive.
The hard part about being black is growing up in broken fatherless homes that welfare ruined, and among the toxic side of black culture that the media and politicians helped grow to keep them down.
Outside of that, being black is really fucking easy and ‘privileged’ in America. Out here in the Bay, free ride through college, infinite programs to get anything you’d like for free, you can say and do whatever the fuck you want and you’re untouchable, top of the list for all jobs, you don’t have angry mobs roaming around trying to lynch you for your race. According to Oregon, you’re even immune to wearing a mask during the Wuhan Pandemic because racism is a virus too. If your family isn’t fucked up and you don’t get into toxic parts of black culture, being black in America is now the easiest thing on the fucking planet. It’s like playing with cheat codes.
I feel like whites already have paid reparations. It was called The a Civil War and many families lost their over ones in battle.
Don't forget all the welfare programs too.
How could I forget? We pay a fortune in taxes for all the “freebies”
And welfare, and affirmative action, and laws spreading funds equally to all school districts so white districts fund black districts, and then having said black school districts still suck even with the same budget. Reparations by whites to blacks is done and paid for. Now lets talk about reparations paid by blacks to whites for the massive racially target violent crime and rape perpetrated by blacks against whites.
In MN, those inner city schools get more funding per pupil than the wealthy suburbs and the results are far worse. I guess throwing money at something does not solve the problem.
When the average IQ of a student is lower than room temperature no amount of money will be able to educate them.
How dare they. My great great grandfather got his arm shot off in the Civil War. Imagine the pain and horror! And as a young man, had to live the rest of his life with only one arm!
I want to be first in line for reparations, or I will start the tax rebellion and pay taxes no more!!!
That's imaginary money lol
Black sports celebrities earn that change in one year, bro. /s
EDIT: sarcasm
They will just take it right out of your bank account.
It is. It will fail but the seeds have been planted. I'll be 56 in a month. I predict reparations will occur in my lifetime. Lefties keep grinding. Examples? Washington Redskins. The discussion has been going on for decades. Next month we'll have the Washington Hugepussies and the Cleveland Cucks.
Low IQ peeps are fooled by this shell game.
I'm 3% black, give me all the money right now!
OR ELSE!
No joke, My Brother's DNA test had him at 10% black which would mean I'm 10% black as well! We Wuz Kangs and shiet.
Right. So if someone is half black and half white, does it cancel out?
If you are 60% black and 40% white, do you only get 20% reparations?
If I am 90% white do I only pay 80% reparations?
Time to buy stock in 23andme.
Do I get some cash for being part Neanderthal?
No, too European. Thanks for playing the Race Card game.
One-drop rule, everybody!
Y'all black.
Get in the reparations line.
Seriously, the dems came up with those stupid Jim Crow laws. Now let them pay for it.
What would happen if everyone claims black? Reparations for all?
And suddenly, white people disappeared from the USA, as everyone claimed to have at least one African ancestor.
I like it.
It's odd but I think your DNA could show different percentages. I guess we each inherit certain bits of DNA from different ancestors?
My Italian granny was 4% African can I get her share?
Muh gibs
We just need mo money fo dem programs
well by that time police is defunded so no reason to pay taxes LMAO
They forced Germany to do that after WWI and look how that turned out.
welfare but only of you're black. peak racism
pretty sure anyone that doesnt look white visually is pretty much the bar.
Nah’ you gotta score a 1.8 for the cheese. All you’ll be getting for .5 is the peeled crust.
It’s wheat crust, dollar store wheat crust...
All you have to do is be a democratic politician and claim you're whatever race you want. See warren.
Speaking of shills and fakers, I bet Talcum X will do a fake DNA test and show that he's 200% black.
gotta ask newsome
I am 100% Eastern European descent, but tan dark.
As a kid, I was often mistaken for Puerto Rican. One time I was standing in a photo between a dark black guy (Harry) and my father. People said “I didn’t know Harry had a son”.
So.. if discrimination is a function of skin color, how is that going to work for me? Where is my government cheese?
Right. Is it just skin color and not ancestry? What about black albinos? Their skin is whiter than mine. If you make it ancestry though, it would only be 4% of the population or something. And what do you do about people like me whose grandparents--both sets--came to the US after slavery was abolished? The concept makes as much sense as the last 2 seasons of GoT
There are tons of people who look lily-white, but who have African ancestry.
Even the royal family has a little touch of the tar brush, and I don't mean Meghan.
Look up Queen Charlotte, consort of King George III.
You really cannot tell.
1/1024 or more and you're in.

Looks like one drop tests are back!
and Looting, rioting, stealing Reparations.
At least they won't have more kids out of wed lock..
No? Imagine as a kid, being in a fatherless family where your five siblings each has their own deadbeat dad.
Lootin, Riotin, Stealin. Fixed it for you.
Now we make countless millions
off the worthless crap that black folks buy
from their very first gold tooth
down to their pimped out ride
Huge medallions, tacky bling,
No one would buy these things,
Unless there was a way,
...to keep them gullibly dumb.
So we keep them out of college
it's what needs to be done.
It's not a poem, it's a song from Drawn Together comedically exaggerating how the system exploits black people for its own gain, but making a serious point about how certain groups treat the black community.
The recent corporate pandering and hijacking of black issues makes it extremely relevant IMO.
So you don't think that the Democrats have had any effect on the black community?
You think the destruction of the black family unit has no effect on the choices and opportunities of the individual?
The fact remains they have been used to their own detriment by certain groups as a political tool and had their communities destroyed by Democratic policies and welfare dependence.
While I am sure it is not your intent, your position implies that black people are inferior and naturally pre-deposed to crime and poverty. I do not accept that.
Yes. How many people are already getting reparations in EBT, housing, healthcare...
There is a statue of every single president (once the leave office, so no Trump yet) in Rapid City, SD. There is definitely a statue of Johnson there.
LBJ was the worst president ever. Roosevelt is up there too.
LBJ yeah fuck him, but give credit where credit is due.FDR DID lead us to victory WW2. I think thats his signature acheivement.
I don't know, I think any president at the time would have achieved similar world war II results.
I agree to an extent, but its also easy to be a monday morning qb.
I can save you all that money.
Reparation option 1:
None
Reparation option 2:
One way ticket to Liberia, land of the free African
we'll call it 'Wakanda' that way they won't catch on right away
Let's spread glass marbles all over
LiberiaWakanda and announce there's a huge finding of Vibranium.Problem solved
The looting would be funny to watch.
Once again, we'll win with glass marbles.
Ghana offered to take them all

It's just to appear woke. I know Ghanaians over there who are pissed about this statement. They say the black Americans don't really care about Africans they have names they call them behind their backs and only bring up Africa to make money like what Beyonce is doing.
Yeah I saw the articles and twitter comments from a few weeks ago of actual Africans talking shit about Black Americans
The black American culture is seriously frowned upon there. The black Americans get entertained there because of the money the country gets from tourism.
Every non America born black person I’ve ever met absolutely hates black Americans. They call them lazy and say they give us all a bad name shit is wild
Not surprised.
I used to wonder what was wrong with black people until I left the USA and met black and mixed people from Africa and the Caribbean.
That's when I realized the problem was the American blacks; everyone else was normal.
IOW, it's learned behavior.
Are you kidding?? Reparation Black Americans don’t want to live in Ghana in a shack surrounded by Africans speaking their “funny” language! And eating traditional foods, wearing colorful ethnic clothing. They want to be given a tax payer funded $500k, 4 bd, 3 bath 3000sf home with a fenced yard and in-ground pool. A new $70k Yukon in the driveway. But not in Chicago or Atlanta! In a nice, safe, white neighborhood in the suburbs.
The Black Militia posted here a few days ago wanted Texas so they could make their Wakada
hahahaahahaha.
I say they got reparations by living in the best country already and owe the USA.
Best we can do is some beads and a pair of cheap Dunlop Volleys but then I realised this iconic Aussie shoe is now expensive. Used to be 15 bucks

That's the only reparation i can get behind. 👋🏻 ✈️
I'm actually working on an idea like that.
Tiered reparations, so if you want the full package, you drop your passport on the way out.
We end welfare (systemic) here, but you can continue to get it for a time if you expatriate from the USA and repatriate to Africa.
The rest of the package would ensure everyone benefits, even people with no known African ancestry. Gotta be fair, right?
I'd like to see it grow into a way to help Africa -- and keep the Chinese from taking over.
We could work out a deal with a couple of African nations.
Maybe we could even shorten the sentence of some prisoners if they agree to move to Africa and the countries accept hosting them.
Before anyone says that's Ray Ciss, this is exactly what they did to the colonies. Check out the Transport laws from the 1700s.
Ghana currently has an open invitation for black Americans who feel this land is too intolerable for them. No lie.
Also a trick I've found is asking how much are you willing to pay. Usually people magically become against it when asked that.
I got the idea from the Daily Caller: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYJcEcYwPJU
Reminds me about the gulag quote. The one where they say it was always the communists who had the hardest time in the gulags. Followed by an imitation of their thoughts that went something along the lines of:
“If only comrade Stalin knew of this...”
That was painful. These losers want to tax us to death.
I'm not American. But if I was I'd tell them this:
I'll pay reparations for slavery the second blacks pay reparations for black on white crime.
And wait for the theatrical ragequit
From her blood sweat and tears? What sweat? She’s just sitting there on the sidewalk. Good video, I like the concept! (Mentally filing that one away.)
"We stole the land. First, I say we, but it wasn't we cause I'm not white". Fucking cunts.
No matter what they say hit them with “$X? is that all you think African Americans are worth?! Shame on you”
No, they say "well that's not for me to decide". It a spineless deflection. They do it because an answer would make them think to hard.
Similar to the dishonest "I'm personal against abortion, but it's not my decision to make for someone else". It's putting LIFE on balance to ice creme.
I'd give em a bill with Washington's face in it.
How do these people get elected?
Voter fraud.
Morons vote.
Donquavious?
Is that like Don Quixote’s long lost brother?
He could’ve been my sun... shower. BA-DUM-CHING
Then they'd complain that we're naming a destructive and deadly weather system after a black person, which equates violence with black people, which is racist.
This shit is so easy, no wonder so many lazy fucks want jobs in the grievance industry.

What a fucking retard
That deranged fool with IQ less than 19. This is just a stunt to get the black votes

" The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here." - unless you're a democrat (shockingly the same party Lincoln was fighting, funny that).

Can't buy $300 air jordan's with dead people.
Let's just start a giant GoFundMe for reparations. Let's see how many liberals pony up some cash for it.
It's so easy to spend other people's money.
Do hashtags count? Or do the liberals have to use their real money?
Steve Carrell will match it.
1 like = 1 gib me dat
I’d figure that would be something of a compromise everyone could agree with. voluntary contribution to reparations number 2 for slavery.
I'm pretty sure there's a fb group that operates on that basis.
Not a terrible idea. I'd donate ten bucks, fuck it.
Slavery is not in the top 100 reasons why people today are poor.
Slavery to globalism perhaps. We've been sacrificing jobs and income to the Altar of "Free Trade" and open borders for decades. While systematically pushing the goal posts for a middle class standard of living further and further back. Home ownership, raising a family, and even basic health care is bordering on luxury status especially in the metro.
More people, less jobs, smaller wages, and rising prices. Theres only one way that shit ends. Only in the last 4 years did wages and jobs roll YOY decade over decade growth. Wonder what happened?
Ever pay federal taxes?
Modern day slavery exists in the USA today.
You trade your life (in hours of work) for money the the feds take your money.
How is that different from slavery?
Local taxes to go to local efforts make sense.
As for the US military, fund it through tariffs on goods from abroad (keeps manufacturing jobs home) and or war bonds. We do not need 100s of over seas military bases, we need bases all along our southern border badly.
in the usa is not in any reason.
I am so sick of this. Paying for the “sins” of your ancestors is a medieval and moronic concept.
It will also keep racism alive for decades to come. A scab they will pick endlessly to fester and drive class division.
I have to agree.
If ever there were a way to revitalize supremacy movements and encourage a race war, forcing members of a race to pay for the sins of their ancestors is certainly the thing to do.
Not advocating but I am pointing it out.
Large majority of white and blacks ancestors had zero to do with colonial slavery and immigrated after WW2. Notice how I said colonial slavery. As the can of worms during the medieval, feudal, and tribal periods not a single humans forebearer's hands are clean. Where do we draw the line? At the last iteration of which not a single person is alive that partook? That infact their direct descendants fought to end? That THEIR direct descendants expanded upon and even made more equitable. To this day if you're a minority in the west and apply for consideration in nearly any process. You will be given preferential treatment. Jobs, contracts, applications, assistance, housing, funding, education, admission, ET AL.
Some say reparations need to be paid; I counter with they already have been. They've just been taken for granted.
As a racist myself, I agree.
Everyone is racist. We just have to get over it.
Some of us more than others.
Itll likely destroy this country.
Not if they take MY plan.
Which is why we'd have to have a Republican congress -- dems don't want to let black people go to Africa.
Tell old Pharaoh, let my people go!
My ancestors never owned slaves.
They were Irish immigrants on my dad's side, and Mayan tribes that mixed with the Spanish on my mom's side.
But my last name is Anglo Saxon, so according to them I'm white.
I'll fight this shit in court if I have too.
And most of their ancestors weren't slaves either but by virtue of their skin colour some British black guy could move to America and automatically get free money because of reparations.
Some North Korea style of governing.
Some guys wrote about this long ago:
"Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin." ~ Deuteronomy 24:16
Even more retarded if your family immigrated her during the potato famine and may or may not have understood the paper’s they signed when they got of the boat to fight for the union but white man gotta pay reparations anyway
"All we want is to end slavery and be free." "All we want is to end segregation." "All we want is to be judged by the content of our character rather than the color of our skin." "All we want is welfare state to support us because of lack of opportunity." "All we want is affirmative action to make up for generations of lack of opportunity." "All we want is reparations (from everyone who has never owned a slave)." "All we want is more reparations because the last reparations weren't enough. We spent it and are worse off than when we started." "All we want is continuous reparations because our reparations money keeps ending back in the hands of evil white supremacists we bought our new rides and tech from." "All we want is to take down the evil white supremacists (who are all white people) so that we are all on the same level. We can't be bought like slaves by 'reparations'." "All we want is to enslave white people like they enslaved our ancestors."
all we want is dead white people.
they dont want to enslave white people. haiti, south Africa, it's always the same shit. now it's USA.
this shit is going to make a lot of actual white supremacists because fuck this shit.
I dunno, Pornhub front page seems to imply that they do want to enslave white people. Every day, there is some sort of interracial porn, often with the black person domming the white.
I read a while back that incest was becoming more common on the front page of these sites too.
Everything is pushing an agenda, and to be honest if I put a tinfoil hat on, I'm starting to believe that we're all pawns being used to divide and destabilize this country by growing a split between fellow Americans like this.
They push that on purpose. You should look up who owns the major studios focused on interracial shit.
Spez: not just the studio. Pornhub and other major porn websites are owned by the same tribe of people.
It's a god damn curse, I tell you. I'm always searching for who owns what now.
Tbh it's not that bad, but the noticing doesn't stop.
https://isitreallyflat.com/esoteric/law-government/the-protocols-of-the-learned-elders-of-zion/
Apparently Germans.
Fabian Thylmann
Or Canadians.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feras_Antoon
Dig deeper 'pede.
I'm good, it's porn.
Porn isn't good.
im old and i consider myself pretty stable, always have been. i rationalize everything.
yet, you don't need a tinfoil hat to see theres a real problem right now regardless of your favorite porn sites lol.
prepping and organizing your own group "just in case" right now is not crazy at all. in fact, not doing that seems crazy. war sucks.
Oh no, the last rant wasn't using the porn site as a pushing point for it. It's just one thing in a very long list of things; it's just very obvious that the leftist black "community" (imagine lumping an entire race into a single community) doesn't just want to kill us, they feel they deserve to enslave us. It was a bit of a tongue in cheek bitter "joke"
unfortunately ive seen where this go enough times that i do not believe they want to enslave us. other people want this, absolutely. reality suck, nature is brutal, and humans are in fact part of it.
https://isitreallyflat.com/esoteric/law-government/the-protocols-of-the-learned-elders-of-zion/
Not only incest, but black incest.
That's not even a thing!
Never heard of black dudes banging their sisters or cousins.
I wouldn’t rely on pornhub for a remotely accurate compass for what direction society is going.
I don’t disagree with you but come on dude, pornhub? Really?
Someone pointed this out on The Donald (Reddit edition) once and when I went to go look, they were totally right.
It's something I specifically haven't forgotten since.
Most people watch pornography. The easiest way to push a narrative is to insulate people. It's a perfect medium. Most people will not talk about it openly and they will watch curated stuff for the most part. You curate it, and you normalize it. If you do talk about it, you will probably talk about the "normal" or populat stuff, which is what they have already curated for the general public.
At some point in their lives, possibly. On a regular basis, I doubt it.
This is literally how Haiti was started! And look how well it went since then!
Why do we help them?
Ending with: "all we want is the white people to come back" like Zimbabwe.
Black people and BLM must work out a lot, see how quickly they're moving those goalposts?
fuck. yep.
Listen, Fat. This is only happening because they white power institutions have put them down for so long, they can only turn to crime!
And rape, too. Gotta rape women because slavery.
I used to think that but now the list of guns i can buy is on a short list. my job options are restricted because of my skin color. my university allowed other people with lower grades because of my skin color. i cant protest but they can because if my skin color. my story is no longer taugh because of my skin color. because regularly tell me I'm not allowed to speak because if my skin color. need i go on?
All the other stuff is true, but this rings even harder. None of us are allowed to protest anything. We're not allowed to celebrate the birthday of our country. We're not allowed to see loved ones during this stupid pandemic. We're not allowed to work. We're not allowed to complain. We're not allowed to criticize.
Avi Yemini covered some of the rioters and protesters in Australia -- because of course, some guy in America being killed means the entire world needs to fall apart -- and almost every fuck outright said whites don't matter.
That's not uncommon from the left.
Once upon a time, I was a left leaning feminist. But the fateful night when Hillary stole her nomination and I saw a complete 180 across Reddit, where it was constant mocking and shit talking of the hag one night, and completely harsh white knighting for her the next, I was pushed into the Trump camp and was welcomed immediately. Now I am much more conservative despite being a moderate in comparison to the left.
This was on top of having my family be called racist for not voting Obama in both of his elections.
I hate what leftism has become. Nothing is ever enough for them. At all. They completely forgot -- either deliberately or accidentally -- what the dynamic of conservatism vs progressivism was always meant to be.
i voted obama. sadly its not even left against right anymore. its western way of life, represented by the white man vs the world, and half of us have been convinced to let it happen, the other half is too afraid to lose anything (and might end up losing everything) or being called a racist to stand up.
people always wonder how hitler came to power, how the ussr was born, and so on. its how. the usa is an anomaly and that's being rectified through racism as we speak
One day blood will flow.
There is no way back. I hope you all realize that now. Millennials are going to finally have to stand up and give their life meaning by fighting for their freedom. You always wanted a purpose to your life, right?
AKA
Helter Skelter
It might be to Pelosi, but to the new generation of socialists it's normalization. Stuff like this used to be laughed at and now it's in Congress
They 100% will get their "reparations" after whites no longer have any political power, which is going to be much sooner than you think.
never say never.
Maybe not now, but once whites are heavily outnumbered in the US anything can happen.
Well she is the oldest trick in the book.
The only reparations we should give is an optional one-way ticket back to their homeland. Stay and be an American or gtfo.
Funny thing is, they wouldn't last long in Africa.
They'll realize real quick that African blacks hate American blacks with a passion.
This already happened. Of course no one here was alive back then.
Make it first class with free booze and bitches!
Can't wait till Lebron James and Bubba Smollett walk up to the homeless white dude and ask for the reparations!
I find it hilarious that if people notice that blacks on average have a higher chance of excelling athletically, no one bats an eye. Yet when people notice how on average blacks are mentally no so great, everyone loses their minds and makes excuses for it.
I said this on /unpopularopinion and got trashed but not only are you 100% right in what you said, slavery, as bad as it was, was the best thing that happened to black people in the long run.
Slavery was very common in that time anyway, muslims enslaved blacks on massive scale and in worse conditions, muslims enslaved whites too, whites enslaved whites, blacks enslaved other blacks etc.
The slavery in the US was very tame when compared to the slavery that happened in Africa anyway.
Last but not least, let's say slave trade in the US never happened. White people simply ignored Africa. Muslims and other black people would be enslaving anyway but that's besides the point.
The point is that up until black colonization, black people were literally stone-age. They leaped tens of thousands of years because of colonization and US slavery.
Had that not happened and blacks were left completely isolated in Africa, where do you think black people would be now? Would they had magically caught back thousands of years of civilization in 400 years?
No, they would be like those amazonian tribes we observe from the helicopter. Just on a massive scale.
I really like this website as it seems to be the only place I can come for information that is not media controlled to such an extent that, dissenting opinions are filtered out of search results. That being said, this opinion is seriously flawed. If all of the research you have done has yielded this as your conclusion either your research method is flawed or you haven't done your due diligence. Seriously, think about your opening sentence.
"Black americans get fucked by their heritable avg lower IQ there I said it all the data I see point in that direction."
Imagine being in a race with someone who is wheel chair bound. Yes you won but it does not mean that you are good at running. It means that you are good at running against people who are wheel chair bound. Like wise, while IQ is purportedly the best psychometric test available to test cognitive ability, that does not mean it is a good or accurate one.
Most people use The Bell Curve as the basis for their argument despite the endless negative treatment the book and author have received. So I am not going to touch on that.
What seems more likely, that people who live in low income areas seem less intelligent due to their primary focus being things other than education since they have other base level priorities? Or that they are just born stupid? Saying a persons "race," has anything to do with anything is an easy out for people who don't want to take responsibility for their situation, their actions or both. See two examples:
Person A is a single mom. She blames the system for her problems. It isn't her fault that she got pregnant, decided to keep the child and is now working at an entry level job where she is dependent on Welfare to survive. This persons offspring will be at home alone after school (because their parent is working). They will be influenced and brought up by the kids in the neighborhood. They will have no one to ensure their school work is done. They will have no one to teach them all kinds of things that would really be useful for the rest of their life.
Person B decided to use birth control because a pregnancy would not allow her to complete higher education, secure a good job, find a partner worth having kids with or have anything nice she wants in life. When she has kids, she will have the means to spend time with them. She will more than likely have a partner who is vested in the well being of the kid(s). The kid will have positive role models to learn from.
My point is single motherhood is more likely the cause. "Race," has a very loose definition and provides an easy out. Anyone who wants reparations is as big of a piece of shit as anyone who believes in "race." My point is "race" is too loosely defined to have any practical application.
How about we take responsibility for our actions and our situations like grown ups instead of blaming everything else but ourselves. Dead slave owners and an overextended definition of "race," that fails to stand up in the face of multiculturalism, have nothing to do with it.
Also, for your sake "americans," should be capitalized and "point," should be points. Not being able to write coherently reduces an argument on intelligence.
I used to think it was a poverty problem too. Look up crime rates and SAT scores across race AND income level.
Even within the same socioeconomic bracket, blacks commit crimes at almost 5 times the rate of whites, and perform dramatically lower on the SATs.
I’m not happy this is the case. I don’t know what to do about it. But chalking it up to poverty isn’t going to solve it. There are plenty of highly intelligent black people. There are black heroes and patriots. I love them. The problem is that in the lower half of the bell curve, the bottom falls out very quickly and the “dead weight” portion of black America is just far and away more destructive, violent, and unmotivated than the equivalent white underclass. To a level our society is not just equipped to handle.
I’m not saying we should give up and ship them all back to Africa. But we need to address the problem head on instead of dancing around it and pretending handing over more cash or building more schools is going to fix it. And we can’t solve a problem if we’re not even allowed to talk openly about it.
Typed this on my phone so sorry if there are typos.
Can you provide me with a working definition of "blacks?" If a person is mixed are they "black"? Does it depend how they identify? If a white person has a black great grand parent are they white or black? Where do mixed people fall in these metrics? Is a mixed Asian American with "black," going to fall in the middle of the chart? And can you explain how genetics would have a larger impact on how well a person performs in life whether it is competence/intelligence/IQ or whatever named metric?
Are the Asians being considered in these metrics American Asians? Or are they Asians from China brought up not to fail because they literally have nothing to go back to in China/Malaysia/Vietnam? When I say nothing to go back to I mean their family will literally disown them.
I am still of the opinion that peoples failure to take responsibility for their actions results in this perfect storm. When "black" role models hype up violence, sex and drugs what do you think young "black" youth think of that? Do they prioritize it? And put it on a pedestal?
The expectation of my Asian friends going to high school was to become a doctor/lawyer/etc. They were pressured to the breaking point on a regular basis. It wasn't American "wishful thinking," it was "we are your parents it is your duty to do this." It was expected that they secure a good job and bring favor upon their families name. Even my African friends had the same expectations. They held themselves in such high regard. But African Americans/Blacks are simply expected not to go to jail? This doesn't make sense, it is inconsistent. It is almost as though because they have lower expectations on them from their families/schools/peers/etc. they achieve less.
Why then do foreigners come to America and excel while people naturally born in America fail? Albert Einstein in his personal notes found the Chinese repulsive and dirty. How is it that these same Chinese people are smarter than everyone else/almost everyone else on our psychometric evaluations? Well I'll tell you why, they aren't sending the slower members of their populations to America. So of course Asians score higher on our tests.
Sorry this is a mouth full, but I have been looking into this for years and still find it hard to believe that some people are just dumb because of their "race," when "race isn't even backed by science. That is the easy answer. People need to take responsibility for their actions and their situations.
It is absolutely abhorring to me when people have kids and they are not in a position to give those kids the best quality of life they can. Kids have so much potential, and for it to be squandered due to the poor decisions of their parents and the low expectations placed upon them by society is a failure upon all of us.
I see you're still in the stage of denial as a result of decades of indoctrination and brainwashing.
That's okay and I can't blame you.
But just consider this... are you willing to be open to truth, even when you don't like it, it's uncomfortable and it's against everything that you've been taught?
Truth is truth, whether you like it or not.
Do you accept that Africans are better at athletics? Have bigger penises than Asians? Are some races taller than others? Have different skin colors? Is intelligence genetic? Are our genetics inherited from our parents?
Not all X are like that is called the NAXALT fallacy, just because there's examples and exceptions does not mean that the centre line doesn't exist.
'But we are all equal!' Equal in what? I'm different to you in every way, nothing about us is equal. To think that we are all equal is an indoctrinated thought.
The possibility that races can have different levels of intelligence to each other is not a radical thought, we are taught that it's racist to even consider this, therefore it can't be true...but what if it is?
Have you noticed how there has never been a prosperous and well run African country that is run by Africans? Rhodesia and South Africa were prosperous when they were governed by Europeans. Look what happened as soon as the Europeans are over thrown and kicked out... Have you noticed that crime rates of Africans in Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand that have no history of being slaves have parallels in crime to that of Africans in America? Therefore slavery can't be the reason for the higher representation of crime rates in America. What if there is a simple explanation for this that you've never considered because it's a forbidden thought?
The point of this thinking is not about racial superiority, it's about recognizing our differences, strengths and weaknesses and how it can explain the world around us. Once the truth is recognized, we can then start to think about how best to solve the issues that these communities face.
E.g What has previously worked well for the black communities? Having nuclear families, going to church and responsibilities for themselves. The welfare state has done more harm than good and it has destroyed African American communities.
We weren't a country in 1619. Game over
Pretty sure some other country was in charge around that time.
Hmmmm. 🤔🤔
No.
You cannot ask the relative of someone to pay for the damages caused. So how could you do that with this when slavery was legal at a time? It’s just a moral issue based on the past. It’s reaching so goddamn far.
Logic is not part of this plan.
It never ends.
If there was one thing to take me over the line, this would be it.
Try and force this on the average citizen after putting up with the last month+ of the most racist behavior I've ever seen in my life from the very same group.
It would definitely be time to take up arms.
The last I checked a lot of white people went and killed a lot of other white people to free those slaves and crippled the country in the long run. Are the people who saved some long past dead slaves responsible? Shouldn't they be your heroes? Reparations from who? The 400k or so dead people who owned slaves? A large portion of which died in said war. Shouldn't the black people owe the northern whites for saving them? Can we get northern white reparations from the former slave's descendants? I think all those dead northerners is more than payment for any sins of a small fraction of the long dead southern population.
People like to leave out half the conversation and distort the other half.
So in today's world can I just identify as black then and get some free money?
I been done had been identifying as black, dawg. Sheeeit, you late to the party.
if you're 2% black, you'll get 2% of the ReParAtiOns
They should have never bought those black people from those black people.
Utter bullshit and excuse making for 60 years of the Democrats failed welfare system and other evil policies that has nearly done as much damage to Blacks in America as slavery. Except it is happening TODAY.
For example, Democrats and the welfare they enacted have cost much of the Black community their family structure, their businesses, their dignity, used them for medical experimentation, used them in sports and the entertainment industry as little more than dancing and singing minstrels, while pocketing most of the money.
Because of draconian crime bills and welfare, they literally destroyed Black fatherhood, instead putting in its place a plethora of female single parent households which is one of the biggest causes of the literal slaughter house of Black lives in our cities. They ply them with victimhood narratives, and undermine any sense of independence and agency of thought.
Thanks to "affirmative action, Blacks who are middle class are looked at with suspicion as to the validity of their accomplishments, fair or not. They terrorize them with false information and crys of "RACISM!" every four years to insure their votes. They regularly employ Black poliitcal "overseers", which they lavish with money and false prestige, to keep the rabble in line and the Democratic votes rolling in.
So successful has this nefarious plan been, many Black people suffer from something akin to Stockholm syndrome and continue to vote for them, year and year, despite all of the above. No other people on planet earth vote nearly 92% +- for the same party, unless they are under some form of duress.
Why don't the Democrats atone for something more recent - their never ending hatred for Black people since the Civil Rights act and their destructive welfare and other policies for the past nearly 60 years.
No. I'm not paying jack shit.
But i do want some reparations because my family never owned slaves and fought for the north.
Same here. And my ancestor was injured 3 separate times and kept going back.
"Lingering negative effects." I'm so glad thats nebulous.
still waiting for three factual examples of "SySteMic RayyyyyciSm"
That's a bingo.
They know they can grab some black votes (and some white ones) by crying about how blacks just need a few more gibs to magically raise themselves out of poverty. As if they wouldn't just blow it all on a month's rent and a few stops at McDonald's.
My family moved to the Americas in late 1890s I had no part in slavery whatsoever and got the boat manifesto with my great grandpa name he was 6.
The US didn’t even exist in 1619, so they can take their reparations and shove it.
Hell they even talk about how bad the boat ride was from Africa. Slaves. Noticed how I said my great grandpa arrives. Well his father my great great grandpa died on the trip from an illness he got onboard along a few other immigrants, my great great grandma didn't last much longer either dying a few days after arrival.
These people really have no bearing on history. Month long boat voyages weren't simple things
And slaves are the only ones who ever suffered in the whole of history. Serfs and indentured servitude weren't ever a thing. When they start taking up the cause of current slaves, then I might have the tiniest smidge of respect for them. Until then, they're all talk.
this shit is Babylon Bee satire material
I DEMAND REPARATIONS FOR DECADES OF GARBAGE MEDIA DISINFO, PROPAGANDA AND MENTAL SLAVERY
Also I demand reparations for the anti white racism of 2020
Let's sue the Demoncrats for 10 BILLION TRILLIONS
"Appropriate remedies"
The appropriate remedies are nothing.
No one alive today was on either side of that.
Are we going to make Germany pay reparations to the Jews for the rest of existence because of the Holocaust from Nazis?
No?
Fuck off, you shitty leftists. If one thing were to start a new civil war, it'd be that. It hearkens back to no taxation without representation.
That’s pretty much exactly what it is and the Left has the absolute least amount of interest in the opinions of those who disagree.
Well they better get reparations from those Africans that originally enslaved them. The European powers NEVER went into the interior of Africa to capture slaves. The European powers would build a fort/trading post on the coast of Africa and the local African tribes would bring slaves to sell at the fort/ trading post. The European powers had VERY little knowledge of the interior of Africa until the NINETEENTH CENTURY!
They just want to symbolically tie the date 1619 with the USA, they don't care about reparations. The left will never be satisfied with an amount, it is about hurting America and calling it "RaCIsT" even though the USA has nothing to do with 1619.
Where did the slaves from 1619 come from? Africa. Who captured and sold the slaves to the evil white men? Africans.
What about all of the indian slaves that had already existed before and after 1619 in north, central and Latin America?
Read about the truth of 1619 here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/10/new-york-times-1619-project-distorts-history-of-slavery
Yeah, what about my ancestors that were enslaved before anyone ever thought of bringing a bunch of Africans to North America?
What about all the land that was taken from my ancestors?
These people need to stop bitching about slavery and start living in the present.
Stop cranking out kids you can't afford and lay off the crack pipe.
There is absolutely nothing stopping you in today's America from becoming successful and being apart of the American Dream.
Stop looking for handouts and start working to better yourself for a change.
Other than luck pulling a Hail Mary and screwing you royal, I must agree with you. There is little reason people can’t haul themselves out of poverty in America.
When 360,222 died to free them, I'm pretty sure they got paid in full. Fuck this noise.
THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO TAKE BACK THE HOUSE AND HOLD THE SENATE
HR 40 should just give liberals a free one way ticket to Africa.
The reputations will take money from me, a non white minority, and give money to blacks. Lmfao. Fucking racist scum bags. If they ever pass this, we have to have a civil war.
I was wondering about that. So if you’re 2nd or 3rd generation Guatemalan or your family is all Filipino or your parents moved to the US from South Korea 30 years ago or you’re Rapanui - welcome to America and pay your tribute to these black people?! What about Americans who live on a reservation or claim Indian heritage? They’re exempt? These democrats squatting in our nation’s Capitol are ridiculously stupid.
Of course it is. It's a fascist ramp up to white genocide. All will be clear in hindsight. You'll look back on this in 20 years and say, "Of course. Why couldn't I see it at the time? It all makes perfect sense."
Civil war incoming.
I say give whoever wants reparations can have the equivalent of 40 acres and a mule but you take that money and go back to where your slave ancestors came from.
Or shut the fuck up and be American.
To the tune of $14 trillion, if this guys to be believed:
https://atlantablackstar.com/2020/06/04/robert-johnson-argues-black-americans-should-be-paid-14-trillion-in-reparations-wealth-transfer-is-exactly-whats-needed/
That works out at $350,000 per person, in $10k installments a year.
Thing is, the average black person gets $750,000 out of the system more than they put in, in welfare, entitlements, and assorted gibs.
So what is an extra $350,000 going to fix that $750,000 can't?
Answer: Not a fucking thing. Because this isn't about "fixing" anything.
What about white slaves?
Since we are revisiting the past and addressing the wrongs of slavery, we must go all the way. Address the issue at its root, in mainland Africa.
• Demarcate the slave traders and slave hunters, of various warring tribes • Investigate and pinpoint any institution or system which engaged in slave catching • Compile the list of nations/tribes/slave masters/hunters/traders or warlords who profited from them, any present-day institutions or countries which are actively or passively benefitted from the legacy of the slave trade • Identify the descendants of these individuals • Extract reparations from these entities as well
However, something tells me it would be likely that the average wealth and prosperity of the descendants of former slaves in America are greater than the descendants of the slavers in Africa. So I am not sure how this will work.
To be fair, the communists doesn’t care whether you can feed your family or not. They’ll take what they can get, your life too if it isn’t enough.
Fuck. Off.
I came to a realization last night. Everyone who fights for BLM right now comes from a place of self loathing. White middle class youth who loath their own skin color and culture. Black urban people who loath the fact that they come from poor violent communities. They are told in school and by Democrats to loath their own history. Every one of these people hate themselves and are striking out in anger at anything and everything, even their own children.
Show me a Black Republican and I'll show you a person who loves themselves and their families. They take pride in their work and in people they surround themselves with. They work to lift people up and not tear people down. Many of them came from the exact same broken communities that BLM represents, and they found a way out. They solved the puzzle. The answer wasn't found by striking out. The answer was found by striking within.
This is such nonsense. I'm mixed race, and I can trace my familial lineage back to Louisiana slaves. So what the hell am I supposed to do, pay myself?
Liberals love to show mixed race couples in advertising, and love to show little mulatto kids like myself showing off their Old Navy t-shirts, but when it comes right down to it they couldn't give less of a damn about us. I'm glad I broke my conditioning and took the red pill back in 2016.
Even if this did somehow pass, and even if I did qualify for reparations, they can take it and shove it. I can pay my own way, thanks.
