    No it won't.

    Remember that Progressives tell us African Americans don't do paperwork, and are too stupid to use computers, and don't know where public offices are, etc etc. In other words paperwork cannot be demanded by the same people who insist paperwork isn't needed. They set a precedent they can't now unset.

    Too late. They should have thought about all of this BEFORE they came up with such fatuous and reckless concepts as self-identify, and paperwork exemptions for people with the right coloured skin. Two utterly conflicting ideas, just for the record. That's how fatuous and reckless these fools are.

    , you never tire of making pointless comments

    You figured how social media works yet?

    Hint, projection equals bad tactics.

    Yes it will, of course. The rest of your post is filler from a washed out artist bent on gibbering to themself because they discovered a new word like...fatuous

    Would giving free tuition to black students, in CA public colleges, be a "boondoggle?" Is it pointless, to try to address racism, in the criminal justice system? Would providing low-interest loans, specifically to black owned businesses, be a boondoggle? Would long term investments, in schools in majority black areas, be money wasted? That school investment could even be coupled with a break on property taxes, which go to school funding. But "free money" for everyone of a given skin color, is not going to promote racial equity, or equality.

    3 non answers, as to how your comment that any political backlash against Reparations checks, would "exacerbate bad feelings of black folk, towards whites, " relates to this thread topic. Very poorly done, on your part.


    BTW, as to your poorly written efforts at communication, above: if you'd been trying to suggest anything other than that the political backlash I'd postulated, seeming a very likely consequence, was anything more than my assessment of reality-- then you are, as is your custom, barking up the wrong tree. Your own "projection," however, is clearly showing.

    Remember this, before pretending what I said isn't true:



    The same people who want reparations, have already declared that black people shouldn't have to have formal ID.

    You need to process that until you can live with the massive contradiction, or just care enough to reject the racist ideology driving it.

    And who is it that ultimately gets to pay for all of that?

    Of course you do, for work you never did. Have you thought about considering a job? That works for me too receive cash. But I actually have to show up and do the work myself.

    It's a novel concept for some, evidently.

    Black Lives Matter was given tons of cash to help black communities. It was organized and ran by blacks for blacks.

    How did that turn out? How did giving that black organization a pile of cash work out for the black community?

    "If you give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach the man to fish and he eats for a lifetime."

    Reparations are not going to solve anything. Except placate the entitlement attitude, perpetuate laziness and cause further racial divide.

    My point is no matter how they supposedly pay it it still screws the taxpayer.

    'Living as an African - American'. What the heck is that? I don't bother checking any racial boxes on forms, it has nothing to do with what or who I am. I don't usually bother with gender unless it specifically has to do with the subject at hand, and marital status has nothing to do with anything that requires a form.

    So slavery is detectable by DNA? How about other life positions, like engineer, or artist? Can read or can't?

    Treating all persons as equals is what life should be... but unfortunately there are those who will always hate in their thoughts, and there will always be those who feel they are owed something for just existing.

    The parents and guardians of children in America should have been given full control of the entire education budget decades ago.

    Yes, but taxpayers are always, in effect, truly "screwed", blued and tattooed.

    Which is kind of an irrelevant point, if this perspective would also say that every government program, "screws the taxpayer." Defense spending, screws the tax payer. The salaries of all government employees, screw the taxpayer, and so forth. In and of itself, this argument carries no weight.

    The difference between the two approaches, would be that in one, we would know where the money was going, so the debate could center around whether those things-- e.g., assisting black-owned businesses with the kind of financing which is often reserved for their white counterparts; helping blacks achieve higher education by making college more affordable (or free) for them; and so on-- were also for the overall good of the country, which I believe they are. Society as a whole, would benefit, from any removal of the specific obstacles that have been erected against blacks' achieving success.

    In the case of individual checks, the debate will necessarily focus on the "fairness" to all, which seems a much harder thing, to find common agreement upon.

    How could all parents control the budget, if all their visions of education, are not in accord with one another? You end up needing to choose people to make decisions on your behalf (instead of all parents, voting on every decision); and that gives you an elected Board of Education, like we already have.

    So, I am guessing that you were referring, instead, to school vouchers, which allow parents to send their children to private schools-- which is its own debate, and has nothing really to do, with this thread's topic.

    Things like defense spending benefit All American citizens.

    Things like welfare checks only benefit a select few.

    Not sure if this was covered here in the forums or not, but San Franciso will be giving money to members of the LGBTQ.

    It's one thing after the next with California's insanity.

    And I have not been advocating "welfare checks."
