Touchy subject, but I'm not sure giving every person in the US who can prove they had slave relatives a check would really solve anything. Unless someone has a reasonable argument for?

Statisics show that there's a correlation between growing up in improvised areas and a lack of education with crime. Considering black communities have the higest rate of poverty, maybe focusing there would be good.

Dr Will Hatch
Even though this is from Lulzbart and its intent is to be incite some kind of racist primal rage inside every white person, I agree that black people should get reparations. It's long overdue. Just directly giving people money has been shown that on average, they will do reasonable and good things with it.

Oh really? Lulzbart, shows how ignorant you are when the story came from here, the Lulzpost.

This makes sense in principle, but the implementation would be pretty chaotic.

And you were dead wrong, good enough for me. Looks like you are just bias to news. Go look up the Truth ratings of the Washington Post.

As it should be, journalism IS in the toilet right now. What does that have to do with Lulzbart being particularly egregious of being a batshit alt-right rag?

The problem is that you think that these hardcore neo-nazis actually speak for the Alt-Right. They don't. No one really does, actually; it's a cluster**** of a movement.

Don't blacks know they've been getting reparations for years?

It's called "welfare" 😂

Surtur
Like I said, I am all for us giving reparations to former slaves.

Any people who were formerly slaves of the USA, step up and collect your check.

Oh and btw when does Africa pay them? Since they sold a lot of blacks into slavery. Is the UN going to recommend that next?

Oh and since some blacks owned slaves, what about those descended from those blacks? If you're half black, half white, do you pay only half the reparations? What if your family didn't come here until long after slavery was illegal? What then?

Damn you called it "lulzbart". That is almost as clever as me calling the Washington Post the Washington Compost.

But hey so quick question: it's cool if you don't trust breitbart, could you tell me why? I am not looking for something vague like "I just don't trust them". I am looking for something specific like "they reported on a specific subject and it turned out to be 100% wrong".

Since a sane rational person wouldn't dismiss it without a valid reason. Which I'm sure you have.

Focusing with what though? You're good shit Rob. Honest question. It can't be casinos.

I think the U.S should pay reparations but only if every other nation pays the same for all the slaves they had as well. Its all or nothing.

The Ellimist
Couldn't this be resolved empirically? Figure out how much the racial gap can be attributed to systematic issues by comparing life outcomes when you adjust for factors within people's nature or control, and then compensate accordingly. Well, there would be enormous PR problems with that which wouldn't be worth it, I suppose.

People might not like the results, so this will never happen.

Just like how any research into "race" labels you a nazi.

Instead of getting accurate results and then dealing with them, we're committed to a common lie that.

Slavery ended in 1860s.

Most african and european immigration to the US has happened afterwards meaning not all are descended from slaves or slave owners. Most slaves carried on working at plantations afterwards until ww2.

I guess white people in south africa owe reperations for black south africans too.

What a dumb idea, the country should have been over this a long time ago... Nobody's owed anything in 2016, get off your butt and get a job!! White people was slaves too so lets just give them checks to in the mail? It's only fair! It was the South/Democrats that tried to keep slavery alive and spread it, and they started the Civil War because of it, and then was defeated by the North and Lincoln/Republicans, they saved the nation!! It's time the Democratic Party was thrown in the trash can where it belongs, their presidents have done terrible damage to this country, FDR, Bill, and Obama.

As soon as the African countries empty their wallets for selling their people into slavery in the first place.

Don't worry, I'm sure that is the next thing the UN is going to suggest.

Nope nope nope. It happened up until 1865 and as far as I am concerned that is like it happened just last week.

We are still oppressing blacks too. I mean, we don't even let them pull a gun on a cop without getting shot at. What kind of racist shit is that? Then we can't even be understanding when his friends begin looting stores, since they are only looting as a form of protest. Plus okay so what if a few fires start, right? Gives the fire department something to do. Plus okay so what if they try to burn a white guy alive? He was white..so pretty much he already had blood on his eyes. These are necessary losses, collateral damage in the fight for freedom.

We also always hold the community responsible for their actions, the media is especially harsh on the black community for the things they do.

So when you think about it..yeah, they are probably owed some shit, we're f*cking ruthless towards these people.

I'm trolling because I know our country isn't considering doing this.

If they were? Then hell yes: if you want to hit us up for slavery then the UN needs to call out everyone who did.

Now I know it isn't just about slavery, but about "systemic oppression" which again I can only assume is an American phenomenon since I didn't hear any other countries called out for it.

Us silly Americans..inventing slavery and oppression. What will we think of next?! We probably invented war too.

Lol excuses for..what? Am I making excuses for slavery? I don't understand what I'm making excuses over. I don't need to make excuses for shit I didn't do.

Surely..you didn't mean I'm making excuses for reasons people who were never slaves should get some kind of reparation, right? Since no excuses are really needed for that either.

Surtur
I just can't help noticing all these double standards when it comes to race. If you remember the controversy of the Academy Awards? With the lack of black people nominated, it was a big issue, so the award show was hopefully meant to be all about diversity.

Chris Rock hosted, so of course when he made various stereotypical jokes about Asians everybody got upset. Oh wait no, they just laughed and laughed. You see because they are good at math and shit! Just like black people love chicken. I'm sure people would have laughed at white comic making that kind of joke there, right?

kevdude
Yup, there's a ton of double standards, when was the last time we had white people awards? White history month? Whites are being killed in South Africa because they own land and working to feeding the people who live there, the UN says nothing about it. There's still slavery alive in Africa, focus on that UN! After someone or a country has apologized for a wrong, it should not be brought up again and again, the people bringing it up like that is then in the wrong. We faught a war to stop it, plus it was the Confederate States of back then who would owe money to them, they don't exist anymore. Not the United States of today.

I feel this is a naive stance to take in this modern PC age. You see blacks can say whatever they want about whites and it's okay because..slavery and oppression and shit. But if whites say it? It's racist.

Nah, this is a "practice what you preach" type of logic. Does Saudi Arabia preach to other countries about how they suck at rape prosecution?

Bottom line: You want to tell one country to do reparations for a certain act, you tell *every* country who has done similar shit to pay reparations as well.

I'm sure you'll still find some kind of issue with that, right? After all, you claimed it makes sense "in principle" but..no, it actually doesn't make any sense at all.

The Ellimist
OK, so if the people calling for reparations were also calling for other countries to pay reparations, you'd then support them, regardless of whether the other countries paid up?

I apologize if I gave the impression I would be okay with this under any circumstance, that isn't what I meant. I think it would be silly and asinine either way, but at least it'd be silly and asinine all across the board.

I mean, it's silly all by itself, why go on and toss hypocrisy onto that camp fire as well?
