Do the people running for office really care about Reparations or is it just another way of trying to get the “Black vote”
obviously its just political pandering.
Black vote, they know there is no way of getting this done
It's just politics. Reparations makes absolute no sense practically speaking and you cant quantify something as horrible as slavery
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
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.
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.)
This, so much this. Instead of throwing cash at a problem, how about we try to make sure that our lives are improved?
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.
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.
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.
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.
I hope Mongolia has deep pockets cuz they owe some heavy reparations to like...everyone.
@2:00 AM I'm a Slav the English word derives from the word slave, cuz you know we had such a peachy history...
Nope. Only Central Asia, China and Eastern Europe. ^_^
@@GaryHField Middle East as well
They repaired it by being slaves to russians and hans
Specifically Attila the Hun owe's almost everyone.
So Mongolia should pay reparations to almost all of Asia?
Yes
@@londonbeats5454 what about Italy? And the Vikings? And the Mughals? And the ottomans? Those too?
The issue there are people in America that have generational wealth and million dollar businesses created from slavery days, enjoying by decendence of slave owners and users. They should think about donating for sure.
@@WaveRider1989 "should think"
But they didn't engage in slavery to build that wealth, did they? How would it be that everyone whose ancestors did something bad be forced to pay at random the entire race of the person(s) who suffered?
And what about the blacks that owned slaves as well? You must know there Kamala Harris's ancestors owned slaves as well. Should we force her to pay?
@@corporateraider9766 If you have a billion dollar company that was built off of the blacks of slaves then should 100% pay reparations to their descendants. You’re directly benefiting from their ancestors.
*America: Let's pay back the descendants of slaves.*
*Native Americans: Am I a joke to you?*
Im not sure but I think America has done that already but if we're to do reparations we should start with Natives first they were affected longer and we almost wiped them out
They get a pay out yearly bitch.
Do you realize Native Americans get tax free reservations. Thats a form of reparations. Thats why they own all these casinos where they can gamble, many get a check. No its not enough but its a reason why we should be for African American reparations.
@@dalinkwent202 And what about the blacks who owned slaves....
Robert Delpin
Like who? The very, very few black folks that “owned” their spouses & other family/ friends, so that no racist white fuck could own & mistreat them? FOH!
My great grandmother is 104... And still alive to this day... my mom had me when she was 41.. I'm currently 24... imagine the stories she told me growing up
Cool, you're lucky to still have her, my Granny from Trinidad was 100 when she died in 2004, I wish she was alive a little longer, I don't have any grandparents now. I'm 38. So when I visit Trinidad, I'm sad because I miss my Granny dearly, she's the only grandparent I knew or remember.
Donnell Coleman II Tell us!
Yeah boyo story time!
That is awesome!
My great grandmother was 101 when she died in 2012 and I am currently 38. I loved sitting with her and talking about her days growing up on a plantation and an Indian reservation (her father). Enjoy every minute of your great grandmother and talk to her as often as you can. 😊
Reparations:
people who have never been enslaved receiving payments from people who have never owned slaves.
Preach 👏
I haven’t been enslaved but I still go through the it .
Why should I be responsible for something my great great great great grandfather did to your great great great great grandfather?
@@justbecause7402 you see and that’s the problem. We are not saying “your responsible “ for what your great grandfather did to mine . We are saying that you should acknowledge and pay for it . Because doesn’t your great grandfather’s time it was legal and seen as something right . And we both know it was not . Not to mention, we are both reaping the effects. You the positive and me the negative.
@Ghost 3 Delta how did police brutality join ur logic ? how is reparation and police brutality the same
If America pays reparations than African nations who were responsible for capturing and bringing slaves to the coast so they could be sold into servitude should also be held financially responsible if not more so.
Let’s talk about colonisation
if i make my kid clean up the house and do work until he is 18 its ok he is my blood my fam if its my house its his house but if you make my kid clean up your house until he is 18 he should be paid . easy math
Yea keep spreading that fake news and you guys should give back all the stolen acts you stole from Africa
Let’s worry about the Americans first then we will go to the next subject. We focusing on America paying what’s owed first
Some already have offered in Africa.
Pay reparations to the Native American population too!
they already did. and still do all native Americans can petition to ve given free land and in most states casino rights
Read a book, or sit this out. You haven’t a clue
Native Americans already make enough money as it is (I live near a reservation)
@*GÊLAWDÊOWŠ* tell me where, I bet you haven´t been on a Rez ever!!!!!
They already do.
"Original sin of slavery?" I think 97% of natives on both American continents would like to have a word with you.
Yes and many of those natives were black, so they'll join you at the table
Bitchslapped!!
We are brothers and sisters of damned struggle. I would love reparations for native Americans as well, but one does not cancel the other
@@keiakoni Not really sure what the point of your comment is? What does the color of the natives have to do with anything? Brown, black, or even any light-skinned ones, they were almost all slaughtered and/or killed off by disease from European invaders.
@@SiscoTheKiddHollard I agree with you, but that's not what my comment said or was about. What I'm commenting on is the idea that one of those Dems put forward that slavery is the *Original* (read: first) Sin of what would eventually become the US. The natives were dying before the slaves were brought over.
Yes! I want to be Compensated too, I also had a family member slaved by Romans, I accept payments in Euros
Just admit u hate blacks and move onn no need for the sarcasm
@@brooklynsveryown1769 I don't hate blacks. I like logic
@Adolphus Tolbert I think you sound a little bit uneducated :-)
Me too
They werent slaves in this country to be fair.
If these politicians believe in reparations then let them pay it from THEIR pocket.
... And yours 👍😊
And yours
@@Mr._Moderate talk to the tribe back in Africa that sold your relatives
@@Patriot46426
sold to whom?
For what reasons?

You are correct sir ROFL!!!
I laughed so hard 😂😂
Can someone please explain, I don't understand this joke 😅
Don't give me $ erase my college debt or make it free. What happened to 40 acres and a mule.
This is just filler to try and get the African American vote. They don’t want to speak on real issues effecting Americans. Ie healthcare, education and jobs.
Free college, Mr. Spiteful, free trade school, free entrepreneurial training: that's a hand up, not a hand-out. Good thinking.
@@chestermicek Thank you. I don't trust Democrats or Republicans. Both only virtue signal for our vote but rarely give two shits about an actual agenda to push Blacks forward. Putting us in jail is to profitable.
40 and a mule was taken away immediately by Lincoln’s successor. I say look at that and consider inflation. That’s what we get paid
Porque no los dos? Like, college should be free period, true, but if it were, that wouldn't somehow make up for America enslaving, exploiting, and disenfranchising black Americans' ancestors and the unfair financial situation that continues to this day as a result. I say do both.
After doing some extensive research, I found that NONE of my ancestors ever owned slaves. Could be that, like many light skinned people back in those days ,they were poor farmers. And for those that did have a little land , they didn’t need slaves because they had 16 children. Since we had no part in the institution of slavery, I think I’ll pass on the reparations. LeBron James made the statement not long ago that being a member of an NBA team was like slavery. I don’t know how many slaves back in the day had multi million dollar salaries but if the NBA is like slavery, sign me up!!
👏👏👏...
Just slavery, What about all the other privileges white people got? Stick to nba basketball my guy because you are g-league when it comes to racism.
It's out of your hands Joe ✋
Are you serious? Do you not benefit with land, with jobs, and other systems that are set up for you to prosper.
Looting with no consequences???
Should white people that have ancestors that were slaves also get reparations?
Yes
The Irish were never slaves
Yes. My ancestors were enslaved by the Romans during the Punic Wars. I demand reparations from Italy.
Yes they should. Thing is those white people were enslaved by white people. Not black
@@Lo-pm8cn that was debunked by a 12 year old, so it looks like you are less intelligent than a 12 year old… 😂😂😂😂
While slavery was horrible, obviously, I’m more concerned about ongoing systemic racism. The legal justice system is horribly skewed against AA. The educational system is skewed. Black children are disproportionately represented in foster care, in juvenile detention, and in poverty.
There’s a problem that goes far beyond what happened over a century ago. It’s what’s going on NOW.
Kai Vickers black children are also, charged as adults at a much higher rate, than white children.
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?
Friend you a talking a sense here. Make the public education good whereever the kid is living, independent of property tax. That will really help lift the poor.
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)
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.
Wait we gonna reward the USA for being a decent country and abolishing slavery in the 1860’s, Mexico abolished it in the 1830’s, Haití did so after they gained their independence in the 1810’s, and most of South America did it also without starting a civil war.
Britain did it in 1833.
Seems like the USA was a little late out of the starting date on this one. 🤔
Thanks for giving more reasons for reparations
Slavery took another 90 years to be abolished everywhere. News moved slow back then and it was a lot of ground to cover. Vice did a video on a family that were still slaves in the 1960’s.
@@tymoe6284 Yes, many blacks in the US have long known that some places in the South, de facto slavery continued on into the 50s.
Although Haiti was different, considering the Haitians WERE slaves themselves.
2:14 It actually kinda of a logical question.
Those were actual logical questions too. Should white immigrants from the 1900s be responsible for reparations as-well? How about whites from the north that fought to free blacks slaves?
true. i’m black but i have no idea if my ancestors were enslaved or not
@@Jonas-PD - Did they fight to free blacks or did they fight to save the Union? Do you know what the Reconstruction was? The Civl War did not end slavery. It saved the Union.
save bandit! That makes perfect sense 👍 I’m Irish, living in Ireland. we had a population of 8 million before the famine 1845 era and we only now have a population of around 4 million. England tried to wipe us out and we only got real freedom when we joined the euro currency in 2002, as our old one was based of the English pound. They also wouldn’t allow us to go to schools or gather food or fish but I have never thought of looking for money from their government. It was our past and we have a great respect for poorer countries now and donate and try help other who are now suffering. Every one who is now equal, should stop modern slavery and suffering!

Thank God you don’t speak for my ancestors.
How?
agreed. The US need to fix the generational wealth gap between white Americans and black Americans. I don’t know how that will work but closing that gap should be a priority
It's interesting that Fox news glosses over Jim Crow, which was an extension of slavery into the modern era.
My siblings and I are college-aged and our mom attended a segregated (specifically by race) elementary school. Jim Crow was very recent and it took decades after Brown v. Board of Education to force states to end racial school segregation. (Also, segregation, slavery, and similar tactics are still present, except under different guises, the most common of which is social class.)
Brought on by the democratic party.... Read a book
@@area51escapee85 ....^^^^ weird...and akward....a muslim wants to know how slave laws used to work in the US....btw..slaves are legal in their religion. Maybe waiting to repeal antislave laws once they are in majority power...smart
Yeah like how the democrats started Jim-Crow
@hunter crook Yeah, well at least they acknowlege and trying to fix it.
No. Stop trying to steal other people's money and call it "justice."
Like your ancestors did by stealing this land from the Native Americans. Then stole Africans from Africa force them to slavery while benefiting off free labor for 400 years.
Obviously that’s an awful thing but why should we have to pay for something we didn’t do
@@diabetus115 Because of "Justice" Your people benefited off the backs of my people for 400 years and we truly feel the effects of slavery many other ways not just financially. You won't admit it but you know there's racial biases in this country, in your home or near it. Your worried about your dividends, when me and my people are worried about our physical lives in this wicked system.
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. I’m not sure how you’re going to interpret my frickin essay I just wrote, but hopefully it comes off in an understanding and reasonable way.

@Wisest 1 how so dumbass?!?! i'm amazed at how you asshats are able to call Trump a fascist or Hitler without giving any real sensible reason or explanation!! if trump was such a dictator/fascist, wouldn't he try to disarm all americans first?! wouldn't he try to confiscate people's guns much like obama tried to with his EOs of gun control? if anyone is like Hitler then it's bernie sanders.

4:09 Incorrect, my grandfather, who is alive today, had a grandfather who was a slave.
@James Overton ... the "point" is to call out factually incorrect statements when I hear it. Do you not do that?
@James Overton It's only been like 3 generations James, people in America were enslaved 3 generations ago. The point is that it isn't NEARLY as old as Fox hosts will try to market it.
@James Overton It makes it 3 to 4 generations, not 10. I'm 42 and have the same story. My dad's grandfather was a slave.
yo i never thought about it but some people live to 90-100 for many Americans slavery was only 2! generations ago. crazy
How is it not common knowledge that slavery ended in 1865?
No reparations No Black vote. Pass the word!!!!

what systemic racism
Descendants of slaves need reparations for 400 years of suppression. The 40 acres and a mule in the form of money with interest (since it was never given) and the federal government has to make them a special class to protect them moving forward.

My fav part out of all this was how insted of addressing the questions with answers or reason, he just makes fun of everyone else.
If you believe in reparations, then that burden should be placed on the Party of Slavery, the Democrats, who created the legacy slavery, lynchings and genocide. I'm not sure how the U.S. government is responsible since they fought against slavery as the union during the Civil War. The Democrats are the only ones who supported the institution of slavery and Native American gencide, so they should have to pay for all reparations for their evil acts.
After all, we don't ask Germans to pay for their atrocities. No. We put the blame on the people responsible which are the Yazis.

Reperations should come in the form of free post-secondary education. Or infrastructure work. It's so many potholes and abandoned buildings in St Louis. If the city could train and pay dudes a living wage to fix our infrastructure, cats a be off the streets in a second.
dark man Naw, give me land, cash, and tax breaks like indigenous people and whites got back then.

This I agree I’m sorry but giving money to black people will only make white people richer infrastructure work will improve the black community for the better
@@davidmadison9369 you right. That's what Englishmen got when they came to settle Jamestown for the Virginia company of London in in the early 17th century. Your talking about the ability to become self sustaining when you speak of acquiring land. The point I was tryna make tho Is before some folks get anything, they need to learn how to manage it. That's not something everybody was taught, thanks to generations of systemic racism and all.
@@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.
An example would be how slaves couldn't own property, by the time they were free and it was socially acceptable for them to live together, the damage was done.
I do agree though that free money is a bad idea. Tax cuts and free/subsidized education sounds like a good option.
The slave masters got reperations but not the slaves shouldn't even be a question way overdue!!!
Hey block head, keep it down, I can smell your stupid from across the room.

Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people.

So this is how im hearing it. i.e. If your great-grandfather committed a crime and passed away before doing the time for the crime.

I am a Black American and slavery ended 87 years before I was born. I and am not necessarily a proponent of reparations. However, the first enslaved Africans came to the colonies in *1619 making slavery at least 246 years old. I am not familiar with that last conservative pundit is but she needs a history lesson.
* (British North America since Spanish "explores" brought slave to South Carolina before the British)
I think she was referring to when the United States as a country had slavery. The US can't possibly be responsible for the actions of the UK or France (which owned most of the now-US before the US became to exist as an independent country)
@@kut52 The descendants of the British colonist initiated slavery in the 13 colonies. I am not referring to legal responsibility, rather moral accountability. I am both the descendant of enslaved Africans and colonist in the original 13. Those colonies evolved into the United States. As my earlier post said, I am not not necessarily a proponent of reparations. It would be satisfactory to simply be treated as a human being with equal value to other citizens. Not only on legal paper but in actual daily life.
The US paid reparations to the Japanese for interment camps and to Native Americans.

Percent of welfare recipients who are white: 38.8%
Percent of welfare recipients who are black: 39.8%
(Note: Many people confuse these statistics. This does not mean that 38.8% of all white Americans, and 39.8% of all Black Americans are on welfare. It means that 39.8% of all the actual welfare recipients are Black, and 38.8% of all the welfare recipients are white.)
white people make up 60.4% of the total United States Population while African Americans represent only 13.4%. So more blacks are on welfare....than white people..........and white people make up 60% of the population.

While I absolutely hate Fox News at even the best of times, I do think they have a point here in that no one alive has been directly affected by acts of slavery. By any and all means, I'm all for correcting the racial imbalances in our country, but those racial imbalances are things that are going on right now, not trying to undo things done several generations ago. Put that money towards improving inner city schooling (or just...y'know...education in genera) and confronting racist voter registration policies.
Professor Plum My paternal great grandfather was a slave and my grandfather was a sharecropper. My father had to build our family worth from nothing with a segregated education. The effects aren’t too far back.
Those racial imbalances are direct consequences of America's racist past including slavery and Jim Crow laws
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.
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.
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. But from a pragmatic standpoint, I feel like the resources that would go into reparations could be better used if the intent is simply to help manage a racial divide.
Where does the money come from? Is it a tax?
"How do you calculate the financial penalty for that?"
Minimum wage for 70+ hour weeks, no holidays nor weekends, adjusted for inflation, and property taxes apply for the plantation's appraisal rating.
Minimum wage? Well, that's how much we pay slaves nowadays.
Edit:
Wait, why did I want to adjust for inflation? +3% for centuries is over +100% increase.

In conclusion i think if we are going to pay reparations then we must send the slaves descendants back to their origin of their ancestors(which as bad as it may be is still better than what it would’ve been without colonists and slave traders)

1#. HEIR. At common law. A person who succeeds, by the rules of law , to an estate in lands, tenements, or hereditaments, upon the death of his ancestor, by descent and right of relationship. The term “heir” has a very different signification at common law from what it has in those states and countries which have adopted the civil law. In the latter, the term is indiscriminately applied to all persons who are called to the succession, whether by the act of the party or by operation of law. The person who is created universal successor by a will is called the “ testamentary heir; “ and the next of kin by blood is, in cases of in testacy, called the “ heir at law,” or “ heir by intestacy.” The executor of the common law in many respects corresponds to the testamentary heir of the civil law. Again, the administrator in many respects corresponds with the heir by intestacy. By the common law, executors and administrators have no right except to the personal estate of the deceased; whereas the heir by the civil law is authorized to administer both the personal and real estate.

Germany, while not perfect, at least pays reparations to the Holocaust survivors and their families and those were ALOT.
But it is needed because these people were victimized, exploited, killed, murdered, hurt.
The government can waste your tax money on unneccessary military shit but not on social issues that could benefit the society?
Many descendents, be it slavery or the holocaust can actually genetically pass down that generational Trauma, there have been studies on Holocaust survivors and their families on it.
This issue or the consequences of these issues still effect breathing and living people and put them in a disadvantage.
The situation with Holocaust reparations is not comparable. The Nazis stole countless amounts of Jewish possessions. All America did was buy people who were already slaves from other Africans. America did not take their freedom. America did not take their possessions.
True indeed. But this is wishful thinking. This country's most important standard is racism.
Gideon Johnston You‘re fucking dumb it‘s incredible
Keeping /buying people off as slaves automatically robbs them off their freedom anyway???????
While I agree with you a little, thing is there are still living Holocaust survivors today. It makes sense that Germany is still paying money for what happened, but how long do you have to pay after the last survivor passing on? 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. Those things would all help everyone especially those who have faced discrimination.
@@LPOnePiece30 What is your problem with what I said?
At the end of the day it's about keeping the word of 40 acres and a mule.
Paul Hutcherson An idea Sherman had no intention of executing.
@@oldcrowtj4937 : That's just a point I think people miss. Many nations have been enslaved in some form or fashion over the years not to diminish anything , but a promise was made and actually put in place by the 🇺🇸 gov't they killed Lincoln then reneged. That's poor form if i've ever seen such.
@@truthdetective4917 Sure if this was 1866 I would agree. 6 generations later it is way too late.
@@gbuz5789 : Look I'm just saying when people talk about reparations this along with other things I'm not versed enough to mention is the proper argument not slavery.
@ReeEEE! NORMIEGETOUT!! : WOW 😆 this dude a walking stereotype. The true SONS and DAUGHTERS of YAHAWAH will STAND soon enough. general lee 😆
The best way to repair the damage done to these communities is to
1) Fix the way that school is funded so that poorer communities will have adequate resources.
2) fix our rigged economic system and break up monopolies. That way workers have leverage and the market can be free.
Rome has to pay reparations to most of Europe for 400 years of slavery.
