BET founder Robert Johnson calls for $14 trillion of reparations for slavery

No reparations. Ever.

 

Yes, the white looters are thugs. In many cases throughout history looters are shot. If that can’t happen, I think 30 years with no parole would be acceptable.

 

Yes you are.

 

His very sincere request for "reparations" at this point is probably because his 'people' are too exhausted and weary from conducting riots, arson, destroying everything they can find (it's damned hard work!) and then having to haul the crap they've stolen from looted stores all the way home. . -- "Man, I'm a tired muh-fugguh!"

As they began learning in the late 1960's, it's so much easier just to have 'Whitey' just GIVE you all this crap, along with everything else you need in the form of government handouts and welfare programs....

 

Not one cent from me.

 

I asked you a question and then you turned around and asked me a question.

 

Another total moron! You get $14 trillion, then I want $14 trillion!

 

Which is a very appropriate question.

 

Great, my family can get money from Italy, Libya and Scandinavia. How do you apply?

 

I wonder how much we've already spent on welfare, affirmative action, rebuilding places they've vandalized or burned to the ground, replacing things they've stolen looting, and the wages lost by employees of places which had to be shut down due to rioting and arson.

"They" probably owe "us" money.

 

That's what folks do when they don't have an answer, ask a question because they have no answer.

 

You can easily make this stuff up... Just takes talent and imagination, both sorely lacking on the right...

That being said (because it's true), I fully oppose reparations in 2020 for "slavery". I can see some sort of temporary tax break or black-only stimulus, but 14 T ain't gonna happen...

 

The same could be said about you

 

This has to be as off topic, germane to nothing post, as it gets ^

 

Reparations at all is foolish and inherently racist to give money to people for something they never endured.

 

what with black people being equal under the law? I don't know how on Earth you could possibly resolve it anymore.

the cop out that we should focus on real problems rather than complain about history?

if you suffered through a helicopter were put in internment camps they would probably be paying you money as well but you didn't.

well that's because most whites that were responsible for are dead. They don't feel much of anything these days.

If you think white people in general are responsible for it even though they were born in 25 to 30 years afterward then you don't know what the word responsible means they couldn't have been responsible for it no more than they could have been responsible for slavery or the magna Carta.

 

Reparations is such a dumb idea because no alive today ever owned a slave and millions had no ancestors in the country at the time.

 

I have an answer, but why would I ask you a question and instead of answering the question you ask me one. When asked a question, answer the question and then ask me one which I will gladly answer.

 

When are we going to become EQUAL under the LAW.

Isn't that what the uprising is all about.

How long were Japanese Americans in interment camps? How many years did black folks suffer through Jim Crow segregation?

That's a lie.

Use any excuse you want to. How many whites do you think was still around when Reagan gave Japanese Americans reparations?

 

How are they not?

what uprising? You mean in the 60s?

or are you trying to label this moronic riot an uprising?

The protests in the beginning might have been about addressing this problem. The riots that followed were about burning and stealing ****. That means we need police to act forceful to stop this kind of nonsense.

most of the people that suffered through Jim Crow and segregation are dead. The opportunity to pay reparations does not exist anymore. most of the people who enacted this kind of crap are dead so the people who could pay reparations don't exist anymore.

I would say the same thing about Japanese internment camps.

well if you're 65 now that means you were 10 years old when it ended. which means you had nothing to do with it you were just a child.

So yeah I guess you can say that a bunch of octogenarians are responsible but, that doesn't include me and I'm willing to bet it doesn't include you either.

Most of the people who were affected by internment camps for the Japanese are dead so we shouldn't be paying reparations to them we can't pay reparations to the Dead they have no use for money. We can't pay reparations in the first place because we weren't responsible for that. It's just a gift at this point.

 

Reparations for slavery would be so immense that it could:

1- bankrupt this country so Blacks would not get anything
2- split thus country to pieces and Blacks would still
3- cause otherwise rational Americans to become active White Supremacists, join the KKK, and elect a racist tyrant dictator as president..
OMG hope we never ha e s racist tyrant dictator as president...
We don't have one of those now for we?

 

What about the Germanians still paying reparations? The living Germans who caused the Holocaust are 90 to 107 years old ! You ok with that or not?

 

That isn't reparations that's called a tribute. I am absolutely against that bronze age nonsense.

 

First time I ever heard of reparations called a tribute. How odd!

 

Reparations? I'll just move. My family didn't even come to this country until after the civil war. I don't owe anyone anything.
