QuoteWhen questioned on reparations Kamala Harris finally admitted she is NOT "going to something that only benefits black people." We also examine why the white media and their black flunkies are coming unglued because we're finally flexing our muscles.

LYIIN ASS HO !
I don't think it will happen.
I wonder what percentage of African American believe they should get it? And how much for each person?
This issue is a Pandora's Box for politicians.
Hell, didn't they give reparations to others? I'm here for it even if they can't figure it out. Let em try
:oof:
when u think of how far that shit set us back and the fact we literally built this country .. u damn right we deserve it. Whether or not it's even possible doesn't matter to be tbh
I definitely think black Americans are owed reparations for slavery alone. When you really dig into the history of this country, and see how treaties were made, compromises were negotiated, and government policy contributed to the continuous disenfranchisement of blacks in America, it's really mind boggling.
I was just arguing with a white person on YT about this the other day. I expect most of them to not be in favor of it. If you're black, knowing what I know now, and you're opposed to it, I do sideye a bit and would like to know why.
TBH I think Black people in this country deserve something. The system was set in place to purposely keep us at a disadvantage, and still does to this day. America owes Black people a lot. They need to figure it out.

She aint givin' yall shiet !
But a quick death
Blacks in America were already supposed to get some kind of redress for the atrocities of slavery. I'm sure everyone here is familiar with "40 acres and a mule". Well, you can thank president Andrew Johnson for reversing special order 15 which would've granted that to black people, as well as a sum of $100 dollars at the time.

I don't trust America. Nothing they do is truly for the people, especially Black people. I could see them giving Blacks some shitty, paltry excuse for reparations just for the sake of "erasing racism" or absolving them of their sordid past.
From then on when a Black American mentions racism or the past, the rebuttal will be, "Well y'all got reparations".

It's too late for reparations I think.
we can't even agree what a black person is now reparations come out and everybody in they mama gonna be a Wakandan warrior.
And reparations shouldn't just be about slavery. Just because slavery was abolished doesn't mean that everything was all of a sudden sunshine & rainbows.
You also have to take into consideration that Black Americans had to endure Jim Crow, lynchings, the government sanctioned crack epidemic, redlining, voter suppression, gerrymandering, etc.
All of this shit has contributed to the disadvantage and lack of wealth for generations of Blacks in this country.

It definitely IS at the point of where's my damn check?
It is certainly not too late for reparations, especially when you still have Jewish descendants of the holocaust receiving economic redress even from the railroad companies that took their ancestors to concentration camps. Months ago, folks were telling me that we'd never get to the point where several politicians have to even address it, and look where we're at now. This is coming full circle 400 years in the making.
Well then what good is she?

Every Dominican, Cuban, Puerto Rican etc., gone be singing pointing out their Grandma that look like Florida Evans now.
Well, how exactly would reparations be given out? Does everyone over the age of 18 get a check for a couple hundred grand? A few acres of land?
And are biracial people and afro Latinos (mainly the Dominicans who are quick to tell you they're not black) entitled to get a piece of the pie too?

And on a related note: Do any of you guys believe we're entitled to reparations?
I honestly just accept slavery as part of the country's history. Yeah it's really fucked up that it happened, but without it happening I wouldn't be here. :omf: As I'm not an African who was actually taken from the shores, but more so a product of American history. Kinda weird way to look at it but it gives me solace.

Naturally there would have to be limitations/restrictions. If you can't trace your lineage in this country back several generations, especially before 1965, that would be a point of exclusion imo.
I'm not voting for this bitch. Black People have been through so much. The Jews got their coin, why is it so difficult to understand that we need ours too? People kill me. Others races can skate through but we got to pause and question whether or not we should get ours.
Shit is wack to me.
America will never allow Black people to truly be equal to Whites.
