Again, stop with the lies. Nah, you are making the same argument that Slave owners were making in order to continue slavery. You should think long and hard about what you are saying. Believe me I do. It say this lightly.

Literally there are entire urban communities where there aren’t even grocery stores for them to shop for food at. They rely completely on church charity to bring foods to where they are. Investing money in these impoverished communities isn’t reparations at all and I don’t understand your slave owner analogy. I think you’re taking a very loose interpretation of reparations to make your point seem valid.

Guess you have not gone to the foot hills of West Virginia & Kentucky. Are these people any less than Blacks in the inner city?

Yes, I'm actually from Kentucky. It's not apples to apples with what needs to be addressed in those areas vs. urban areas. They require different types of investment and geotus has already laid out coal and energy sector plans which will directly benefit those areas. When you say "coal investment" those people know exactly what you mean. Being explicit in saying black doesn't mean there isn't capital for white people. But there's very few whites that live in these urban areas and blacks are also a demographic which needs to feel like they are included in a plan by a party they have been brainwashed into thinking doesn't care about them.

If the plan had just said "urban" instead of "black" would you it make your fee fees better? Just make the substitution in your mind and you'll feel better about it.

Wanting to encourage blacks to get educations, training, form businesses, make stable families and buying houses is the same argument as slave owners? Ok bro.

Turn this all you want, your argument of lack of self-agency is what slaveholders used to argue against releasing slaves before and after the Civil War.
