    Except when that GOVT assistance was 'The New Deal' which created what we know of today as White Middle Class America. True?

    So, let's just say... facts, not in evidence. I know no such thing about you being an american. I find your observations to be those of an outsider. You don't understand nuance, or context, which doesn't support your assertion then. If you think you understand what a tort is, I would caution you that it doesn't have bavarian cream in it... The fundamental flaw of your analysis is that a) you only think damages are paid to white people. Again with the bigotry. and b) you don't understand that harm is direct to you, the harmed, not historic. I know, you are unaware of these legal standards, and instead of wanting to learn then, are far more interested in just ranting about stuff that frankly seems entirely alien to you.

    Unfortunately your post has to play, pretend, that the harmed are indeed historic ---when you disregard how the harmed are in fact alive today.

    Your argument is illogical because it disregards Jurisprudence's qualification of real, events and circumstances. As they are (legally defined forces and variables) acting upon that Juristical "formula" which constitutes the circumstance of Black America, here in real time.

    I felt, free.


    lol


    Can you and @Fallen ever, imagine, what those 40acres & a mule/inheritances would equate to, today?


    I can!!


    And it takes one (1) word for me to sum it all up: Reparations!

    In 2005, the political scientists Nicholas Valentino and David Sears demonstrated that a Southern man holding conservative positions on issues other than race is no more likely than a conservative Northerner to vote for a Democrat. But when the relevant identifier is anti-black answers to survey questions—like whether one agrees “If blacks would only try harder they could be just as well off as whites”—white Southerners were twice as likely than white Northerners to refuse to vote Democratic.

    Despite the best efforts of Republican spinmeisters…the partisan impact of racial attitudes in the South is stronger today than in the past.

    I'd be in that group. My Iroquois ancestry aside, my European ancestors arrived from Scotland, Wales, and France after the war and after Emancipation. It also seems to me that all the blood shed to bring about the end of slavery is as priceless as the lives who suffered under it....and balances the scales of justice. Not to mention that slavery was practiced worldwide for thousands of years on every continent. So Rep Lee can get off her high horse because her ancestors hands are as dirty as anyone else's. There are also no slaves or slave owners living in America.

    Utter BS. Try to find any court that would grant you standing based on historic harm that didn't occur to you. Laughable. Just like the rest of your posts. And seriously, NOBODY is alive today that was harmed by historic AA slavery. Why not worry about actual slavery that is inherently a part of your democratic party's adoption of illegal alien immigration? Why not worry about those folks whom you seem entirely oblivious to....

    Except that there isn't anyone alive who would qualify.... Oh, and likely, because of the kind of inheritance taxes you also support, the value of those inheritances would likely entirely then be reabsorbed back into the federal coffers... You folks just never understand just how transparent or vapid your policies are do you?

    The harm which you pretend is, historic, is in fact harm that is Present-tense and futuristic:



    pay special attention from 1:50 - 1:58 and especially 2:03 - 3:05

    The comparison aint right. In this case it's not "somebody, to than someone else". In this case it's the government, to than the same government.

    Try apartheid rule installed by the US government. It only ended in the 1960's. That is only two decades after WWII. Plenty of people alive today personally benefited that black people could not go to a normal school. Them lot are of the same generation of the US president.

    If you feel so strongly about it, go right ahead and with your own money spread it around until your White guilt is gone.

    U.S. already has a reparation program, it is called Affirmative Actions.

    Affirmative Action is now facing its 20th year of, sabotage, by White racists plus it is mainly used in America now to uplift White women White HISP and White LGBT ... Blacks have been, abandoned, so now Reparations are due.

    Yep, it should be abolished right a way as inefficient.
    As far as reparation, why should I give you money because of your skin color?
    Are you racist?
    I think you are, so you should pay reparations.
    If you want racial war you can start it right now, whoever wins will take all reparations.
    Yes, blacks are stronger dudes but most of the whites are better shooters.
    We will see who wins.

    We could let Elizabeth Warren head up this project.

    He already believes that people should receive special privilege based on skin color.

    Therein lies the difference. We see social programs as a 'hand up' and you see them as 'hand outs'.
