Reparations...

[the_real_Barleycorn]

Yep, I know. We've talked about this before but it has reared its head again in California and San Fransisco.

$300,000 per black person (how they identify themselves) for the state and $5 million for San Fransisco. In San Fransisco, they also cancel all your debt, pay you yearly, and let you buy a house for $1.

What's not to love? Except there never was any slavery in California. The Chinese and Japanese were not treated so fair but no black person was a slave there.

there may not have been slavery, but there was discrimination prolly not as bad as the south was, but bad enough tho.

i demand as my reparations the White House as my private residence. all future presidents will live in tents in Montana so Chinese spy balloons can photograph them going to drop a deuce in the state of the art porta-potty hardened against Chinese New Years fireworks.


BAAHHHA

I wonder where Lebron will spend his “reparation” money.

[Lucas McCain]

Jackie, he's a 38-year-old billionaire. I highly doubt he thinks about it much.

Hell, I doubt anyone with any sense thinks about money that they will never see. It's impossible to quantify reparations and who should get paid X amount of dollars based on their ancestors. I heard ancestry.com is good, but I doubt they're THAT good so how could people actually prove that they are a direct descendant of a slave when they neither know their names nor burial sites?

That's the beauty of it... they don't have to. They just have to be black. Which I'm fine with because if any such legislation ever gets passed, whites will start writing in AA on all forms and will claim reparations as well... thus destroying the whole racial quantification and qualification system the govt. currently runs.

I refuse to answer all questions regarding my race on any form I write in American. If everyone did that, the govt. activities that divide us would be destroyed. Or put down Samoan or some shit.. what are they going to do? ask you to prove it??

[nevergaveitathought]

if you can be who you want to be

and the government and courts force everyone to agree you are

the reparations line should be long

Fuck all the crying bitching mother fuckers, jail them all

Ok, bad choice. LeBron is blessed with being 6’9” with the ability to make millions as an athlete.

How about Condoleeza Rice. She is just an average black woman who through her own hard work and initiative has lead a very successful life. She is also a descendent of slaves.

Where will she spend her reparation check?

[the_real_Barleycorn]

Okay, how about we charge any descendant of slaves a penalty to their reparations if they have committed any crime against white people. If they murder someone who is white, they get nothing. If they commit armed robbery, $100,000 off the top.

I'm sure that will help bring the races together in peace and love...what? Isn't that the point of reparations?

[VitaMan]

Is it correct the American Indians were given casino licenses as a form of reparations ?

How is that working out...

The US government has continued to admit something bad was done to them.

[nevergaveitathought]

well sad to say the indians would get their fair share of reparations by virtue of owning a string of casinos

it would be a two-fer

Well that's because the Indians aren't afraid of hard work... they also can't beat box.
