    I understand the plight but my mother is a boomer and she distinctly remembers a lot of black people in the 50s 60s and 70s being quite successful and they never complained about a reparation so whatever is going on now has nothing to do with racism or slavery it has to do with the insecurities and personal pressures that these particular young black individuals are placing on themselves. We are not owed any money that money belongs to the ancestors it doesn't belong to us. And if we were to do anything then give the opportunity of college education do not hand black people money and believe that every single black person is going to be wise enough to utilize that money for a good purpose

      Something taken and owed to you is not a hand out, if the bank just took the money out your account that you had worked for all year, you would be at that bank every day asking for your money. Reparations is a debt the payments to families for the whipping and beating and hanging done in the name of wealth, a bill is a bill and if you don't pay it its still a debt owed.

    Hey man I’m 17 I’ve beat depression and an eating disorder depression, was very hard because I’ve noticed being depressed you believe the sadness more than you believe yourself or others and it’s a harsh cycle simple because you believe you won’t get better and when people tell you what you need to get better you don’t listen and look for relief in the moment oppose to relief in the long run, an easier way to look at it is for example someone may have a problem with excessive eating and they want to stop but they’re living in the moment so right now eating more sounds more pleasurable, right now being sad and wanting others to assure you is more pleasurable than taking the advice and taking a step to help yourself, right now being sad is more pleasurable then starting to tell yourself positive things and stopping the negative thoughts in their tracks because you don’t feel comfortable trying to get better you feel comfortable being sad so since you make no moves to step out of your comfort zone or not enough moves it continues to be a harsh cycle. CHANGE REQUIRES BEING UNCOMFORTABLE CHANGE REQUIRES NOT DOING WHAT YOU KNOW WILL HURT YOU EVEN IF EVERYTHING IN YOUR HEAD IS TELLING YOU TO DO IT CHANGE ISNT EASY NOW BUT ONCE YOU EMBRACE IT YOU LEARN IT WAS NEVER COMPLICATED!!! EVERYTHING YOU TELL YOURSELF REALLY MATTERS WHAT YOU TELL YOURSELF FORMS YOUR BELIEFS YOUR BELIEFS FORM YOUR ACTIONS YOUR ACTIONS FORM YOUR FEELINGS YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE BECAUSE OF THE THOUGHTS YOU THINK!!! YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU DREAM ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE IN HISTORY HAS DONE IT SO LONG AS YOU THINK THE RIGHT POSITIVE THINGS PUSH YOURSELF FUCKING DONIT YOURE RIGHT THERE YOURE INFINITE YOURE LIMITLESS DONT SET A BAR FOR YOURSELF THAT WAS TRULY NEVER DARE COME ON MAN EVERYONE LOVES YOU I LOVE YOU IF YOU HURT YOURSELF YOU HURT BILLIONS IF EVERYTHING MATTERS IF YOU HURT ONE PERSON YOU HURT THEIR FRIENDS THEIR FAMILY AND SO ON AND THAT NEVER STOPS THE EFFECTS OF YOUR PERSON IS BIGGER THAN YOU PROBABLY KNOW LITERALLY EVERYONE MATTERS NOBODY LEAVES THIS EARTH HAVING NOT THEORETICALLY MATTERED I LOVE YOU PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I KNOW YOURE GONNA BEAT IT INSTEAD IF SAYING MAYBE SAY I KNOW EVERY WORD EVERY THOUGHT IT MAKES YOU it makes YOUUUUUUUUU

    The two Jesuits who sold these slaves were Irish. Normally this fact wouldn't amount to more than a footnote on a page; however, in light of the fact that there are people in the comment section promoting the pseudohistorical, fringe, racist "Irish slaves myth", it's worth acknowledging the implications here. The argument of white Americans now seems to be "My ancestors were oppressed too, so I don't owe you anything," but this can only be maintained by manipulating or straight up lying about the historical record. Historians must confront this head on.

If we are going to do that the land the college belonged to Native Americans should their descendants get reparations too? People of Ireland and polish and finish descent were treated horrible should their descendants get reparations too?
