Financial Reparations to Black America It can hardly be argued that Black America today still feels the sting from yesterday's whip.
Does Caucasian America owe financial reparations to today's Black America due to systemic inequality that still exists today?
I think they do. I think, with rare exception, that Black America doesnt have the same opportunities, that America isn't as colorblind as it should be.
Very little was accomplished with Affirmative Action; if we can't accomplish it with legislation, can we do it financially?
Time had a wonderful article years back about the 'browning' of America. The growing Latino population and blacks have significantly colored what was once a white landscape.
Personally I think it time the white man pays financial retribution for the 'trail of tears', slavery, and to the Asians for their treatment building the InterContinental Railroad.
I also think the white man doesnt want to pay because they'd owe a LOT of money, and to too many 'creditors'.

Array Actually, I rather agree with fatfencer. If you look at the statistics, it is obvious that Black America is at a gross disadvantage due to their lack of inherited wealth. They still haven't been able to work themselves out of that hole.
The native American community seems like it could use help as well, but they are allowed casinos, and that income has brought a lot of money to many larger native "tribes" and departments.
As for the Asian community, I haven't heard much about it, but I'm not so sure that they're in dire need of a financial retribution for the transcontinental railroad fiasco.

Array To FF and Wetmelon, thanks but no thanks. You can however send your donations to the American Cancer Society just put it in the name of the closest African American. If you don't know one you can use my name. Thereom4.
Instead of fighting so hard for reparations for blacks (which by the way is never going to happen and in my opinion is unnecessary at this point since the African Americans living today were NOT slaves! Counter-intuitive perhaps since I am African American, but my believe nonetheless. Reparations should have been given to the freed slaves and their children.) why don't you volunteer somewhere. I sure someone will welcome your "charity". -
There's a word for people like you. ...
What ever it is it isnt 'professor.' In other words you misrepresented yourself.
But then again, I knew that. Let's give real black people who fence a chance to say what they think.

Seriously though, I will be happy to give you what you deserve. Just come to my house and come in through the window and get what you think is fair. I will then give you what you deserve. Just to make it more legal, wear a mask and come at night. Every dollar the government gives to someone has to be taken away from someone else. -

Seems like white backlash to me... The blacks, lack of inherited wealth.. real systemic problems. No real thought towards a long term solution.
Grrrrr....

it's stuff like this (and I'm not just talking about the obvious self aggrandizement) that just scream " imma twat imma twat imma twat imma twat" - it's a very nuanced but completely identifiable way of writing - you could have expressed that same idea hundreds of different ways some funny, some mean, some nonsensical and absurdist - all whilst still getting the same point across - but the words you chose - and the kind of seriousness of intent behind them(gleaned from the context of the rest of the post) is 100% Grade - A, FDA approved twat.
You don't laugh - you don't get angry - it doesn't tickle your brain - the words you choose make a rational english speaking adult think one thing and one thing only
