‘Reparations Happy Hour’ Invites White People to Pay for Drinks

You're right I am just trying to figure out what righties have done for decades to help black folks get out of that permanent underclass and out of the ghettoes and to stop welfare. What social and enforcement policies have they introduced. The answer is simple, NOTHING.

 

Again that is what we have been told.

Yep and who were they fighting? Other white men. So should a woman who has been raped by a man several times be grateful that he stopped raping her.

That's just a cop out.

See above.

Hmmmm, are all whites motivated, do all whites play by the rules.

Neither does the denial card.

You're talking with a forked tongue.

 

I have no problem with white folks, my issue is with racist white folks like many on this forum.

Why should I find it necessary to move to Africa, my folks have shed just as much blood and sweat for this country as yours has probably more. We are still fighting for "Freedom and Justice", we have come along way unfortunately we still have a long way to go.

 

And you are a snake. See how that works. ha ha

All whites are not motivated. That is a given, self evident. The ones who are not...are responsible, personally responsible for their lot in life. Same as black americans. Yet I know many successful, motivated black americans, given I have always been surrounded by them. I also know both white and blacks who are not motivated and are hardly different in that respect.

But with that said both black and white americans are in dire straits these days with slave labor open border globalism. The gutting out of our economy. It hurts all average americans regardless of race.

We have different races of americans. But we are all americans. Granted black americans were disadvantaged, given their history in america, but those days are gone. Here in the south, since my dad's generation died off, you just do not see overt racism these days. Yes there are a few racists in america, but those numbers are smaller than they ever have been. The younger generations are not racist. I think you see as many black racists as white racists today, with black population being only 13 percent. And that has meaning.

 

Actually I am a Lion.

Hmmm, so how many Americans are will to go out on farms and pick vegetables or fruits all day in the hot sun. These folks do jobs Americans are not willing to do, so are they taking jobs from Americans or are they doing jobs Americans are not willing to do.

 

We'll you're seeing the policies right now.

Blacks are experiencing an upward mobility under Trump they Obama never enabled and hes cracking down on cities that refuse to address their crimes problems.

You think all Black people are happy stuck in a generation welfare check collecting loop?

You think all Black people are happy with living in dangerous crime infested neighborhoods because Democrat lawmakers hinder law enforcement in favor of not "offending" anyone?

 

Wow. You do know that we stopped doing that basically during ww2, right? We depended upon migrant workers from mexico to harvest crops, particular kinds of crops during the war. When americans returned, they went to work in factories or went to college on the VA Bill, and we never picked fruit again.

The problem with illegals is not with harvesting veggies and fruits, but its the fact that they come here and get construction jobs and factory jobs, like meat processing. And those are jobs americans will do. Hell, a few year ago a factory south of me was raided because most of the factory workers in a masonite plant were illegals! Well, that factory was cleaned out and the next day, there was a line of americans a quarter a mile long trying to get their old jobs back at this factory. I witnessed the line as did the local papers.

Then take meat processing. We had an old family business here, meat processing that provided middle class jobs for our local people. For 60 years. Well, the kids of the family owned business sold it to sarah lee, and sarah lee shut down the factory, as they wanted the name, and moved it elsewhere. And hired illegals instead of americans. And in meat processing today this is the norm. So the Lion, needs a reality check. ha ha

 

Then how is it some people of color are able to succeed in life where others don't? If it is as you think racially based then why is it so many whites in the same areas don't succeed either? Maybe it has more to do with laziness than race.

 

I’d love to hear the reaction to this from guys in the 1950’s lol hahah
We need a time machine haha

 

I don't know about reparations for the jews but I imagine it had something to do with terms of surrender but I do agree it should be limited. No terms of surrender by the south included reparations for the slaves other than maybe freedom. Are the ancestors of the slaves so lazy they want all white people to support them and their families for eternity? If reparations to them are paid by taxes then would not those taxes come from them as well if they paid taxes?

 

You say you remember the "Jim Crow" days? Then surely you remember when the DEMOCRAT Party was the one pushing and shoving for segregation, swelling the ranks of the KKK, and using every excuse imaginable to keep Black people from voting, riding a bus, eating in a public restaurant, etc., etc. And yet, today, all most Blacks can do is praise the DEMOCRAT Party as though it has always been some kind of paragon of righteousness toward Blacks -- while REPUBLICANS are thought to be the "oppressors". Has there ever been a greater perversion and distortion of historical FACT?

Go back and read some of what liberal Democrat president, Woodrow Wilson's opinions were about Black people if you want a real eye-opener, and even FDR's star-pupil, hyperliberal Lyndon Johnson saw the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 primarily as leverage to get that same Black vote!

....

 

Just curious.......what is it you think black people need and deserve in this country that they don't have today? Seriously, be specific........what rights or opportunities are blacks denied that White people have in 2018 America. If you convince me I will join in fighting for those rights and opportunities.......good luck!

 

Like just about everyone else on the planet, if you're waiting for someone else to solve your problems you're gonna have a long wait. But please explain why righties this problem because you make it sound as if they're supposed to.

 

It will be interesting to see brutha's response to your question. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 did at least do one thing -- they made ALL American citizens, of all colors, equal before the Law! They made all American citizens equal with respect to the Constitution. And this has been part of our national existence for over 53 years!

Thus, your question is a valid one -- what exactly is it that Blacks think they've been 'denied' in the past 53 years?! Isn't it odd that we never hear the same kind of bitching and complaining from, for instance, the Oriental community?

Orientals were heavily discriminated against in the 19th-century, treated little better than Black slaves had been. And in the 20th-century, the great hyperliberal demi-god, Frankie Roosevelt threw Japanese-Americans into concentration camps and kept them there until March 1946! Nobody ever gave Orientals any "affirmative action" programs and any special advantages or privileges.... So why aren't Oriental-Americans constantly bitching about being "discriminated against"...?

 

Correction; leftists have done absolutely nothing but take political advantage of the Blacks that their policies are knowingly keeping down and repressed whereas those same leftists have blocked EVERY Right of Center effort to get Blacks standing on their own two feet. Oh and it doesn't matter the color of the skin since all leftist leadership do this to Blacks regardless of whether the leftist leader is White or Black. It is a freaky little political control game that the leftist leadership is engaged in at the expense of Black citizens.

 

Why should anyone do anything to help blacks, anymore than they'd help whites, Asians, etc. Are you saying that blacks need special programs and policies because they are mentally incapable of taking care of themselves?

 

The former slaves should have recieved something from the slave owners but that would have bankrupted the slave owning plantations and hurt the economy of the recovering South. The non Southern part of the country lost many lives and a multiple of that total was wounded ( during the war) and they had to recieveva small tiny pension. Taking that into account along with the financial cost of the war there was no appetite for the non South part of the country to pay any more for the sins of the South.

Compensation should have been paid to the freed slaves in a civil "suit" like settlement but the ones to pay should have been those who caused the injury just as is done in civil actions. The window for that opportunity closed long ago.

 

my town eliminated those jobs, now it's all automated, they were good paying jobs for those fit enough to work them though

 

nothing should be done with restrictions based on the color of ones skin

help everyone equally regardless of the color of ones skin

public schools, welfare, social security, medicare, the lest goes on, should not be dependent on the color of ones skin

 

How? You piqued my curiosity.

 

^^Best rebuttal of the entire thread.

 

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha that’s funny

 

I live in Portland and its a weird city. I regard an event where white people giving non-white people money for charity to be a bit racist for both sides.

 

"Animal Farm".

 

are you referring to the guy that said slavery was a choice?
