Hot take: I don't mind reparations but I just don't see how it can logically be implemented.
1. Are there good records of who has slave ancestry and who doesn't?
2. What about other races who were slaves? Do they get a check too or is it blacks only?
3. For blacks that descend from free men/slave owners, should they now pay into the reparations pool of $ to be redistributed?
4. How much $ do they get?
IMO the best time for reparations was right after the civil war, Now it's too complex
If Bishop Bagel was going in charge of the US reparations department I wouldn't give cash.
I would give them some time of tuition voucher they can use to learn a skill or a trade.
That would be the best way IMO because most people aren't good with managing lumpsums of 💰
The tuition reparations for black people are already happening and they are not working because they prefer fields that do not use math and do not involve hands on labor
Black people are given preference in Universities and the government gives out free grants to attend colleges
Giving black people tuition while allowing them to pass high school without being required to multiply single digit numbers in their head without a calculator has only made them more poor
You're conflating benefits given to the poor with benefits for blacks.
Grants and UNI preferences are available for most minority groups but they did a study and found white women benefitted from it the most and asian men were hurt the most.
What I propose is a tuition credit for EVERY descendant of a slave regardless of skin color.
Also you can thank no child left behind under bush for letting kids pass high school while being unable to read.
1 Only descendants of slave masters should pay reparations
2 There is a problem that slave masters had biological children with their slaves in that someone should get reparations from their slave master ancestors but are entitled to reparations because of their slave ancestors
3 Descendants of union people whose ancestors fought to oppose slavery in the civil war war would not owe reparations to slaves but would owe it to the south for Sherman's total war
College tuition is a bad form of reparations unless you remove certain majors
You would essentially being paying money to make people more Democrat Party biased
Remove Social Science Options
Remove Psychology, Sociology, Gender Studies, Ethnic Group Studies like Africology
Remove Statistics
Remove Environmental Science
Remove Religious Studies
Remove Literature
Keep Linguistics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Health Sciences - Like nursing, Math, Computer Science
>You would essentially being paying money to make people more Democrat Party biased
Damn that's a good point...
How about a tuition credit to any 2-year college or trade school of choice?
That way you have real skills - the brainwashing plus you would save alot more $$ this way.
You can get majors in Democratic Party bias stuff in a 2 year college
It is just an associate degree in the same major that you can get a bachelor's masters or PhD for
My dude 80% of black men and 93% of black women vote for the democratic party.
It's so over.
You might as well just let them pick AFAIC if they pick wrong that's their problem.
Our moral duty is just to pay back the wages stolen from their ancestor.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
There are hard working black people and there are lazy black people
The lazy black people will take majors that do not use math and do not require honest intellectual or physical labor
They may take something that involves dishonest intellectual labor
As such they will major in something that uses statistics but not real math like a social science which will be democrat party biased
Will also avoid linguistics
Hard working black people are already rich if they are not disabled
Because of the ideology that drives them to keep voting Democrat they will demand more reparations no matter how much reparations you give them
Giving them reparations will enable them to survive long enough to breed more
This will result in more parasites
You only make the problem worse by giving them hand outs
They need to be retrained in math work camps
Bobby Fischer who is ofJewish ancestry
said Jews hated Hitler because he made them work and they did not like to work
>Giving them reparations will enable them to survive long enough to breed more
Blacks people aren't waiting on reparations to breed in case you haven't noticed...
>You only make the problem worse by giving them hand outs
No I SOLVE the problem. You can't blame evil whitey if you got your reparations $.
>They need to be retrained in math work camps
WTF? NO that's a flagrant human rights abuse that will bite us in the ass.
It would lower infant and child mortality so someone can reach a old enough age to be able to reproduce
It would also provide better care for pregnant women and their children to survive child birth
It will also raise life expectancy in welfare supporting men giving them more years to breed
People already gave them stuff then they did not say the people who gave them stuff were not to blame but demanded more stuff
@shortstories Once again these are GOV welfare programs for ALL people of lower income.
What I propose is a bill directed at reimbursing direct descendants of former slaves the wages they would have otherwise earned.
Once that bill is passed they will have NO CHOICE but to move forward.
Yes there will be always holdouts is the same way some southerners still cling to the confederate flag.
The difference is noone will take them seriously anymore as the moral highground is gone.
They will say that your Bill did not give them enough
They will become a powerful lobby / riot group
They will use the money to advance their political interests by bribing politicians & rioting with purchased guns
There will also be Africans from Africa whose ancestors actually sold African Americans ancestors into slavery coming over claiming their ancestors were black slaves from America & it is racist to demand ID that they can not afford because their ancestors were slaves
If you use the money to only let them get college then their will be a flood of them getting degrees teaching at Universities that they should get even more money and again the problem gets worse not better
More people would take their side because they would own the University system being the majority of PhD holders allowed to teach
@shortstories This is a slippery slope fallacy.
The jews got reparations for the holocaust.
The Japs got reparations for the interment camps from WW2
The blacks deserve reparations as well.
If they don't think it's enough, that's too bad.
I.DONT,CARE
Think of all the money used to investigate the ancestry of people who you do not know their fathers?
And what about the ancestry of adopted people?
Might be a good thing order every person to get a mandatory DNA test so you can know the ancestry for the slave reparations
It would cause cheating women to get caught
@shortstories It's not as expensive as you'd think.
Only 6-10% of people owned slaves and they kept decent records IIRC.
The media wants you to believe EVERY white person was a rich slaveowner and EVERY black person was a destitutute slave which is not the case.
