not true...but where should the reparations stop then? are you for paying reparations to every group in history that's been treated badly? it would bankrupt the planet.

just tell me where it should stop? anything up to 200 years ago? blacks weren't the only slaves, and people all around the world have suffered, and continue to do so, including white people...who gets paid and who doesn't? it would bankrupt the planet.

should the government garnish my paycheck and give it to a poor black person? or a poor black person who had slaves for ancestors? or a native american who had an ancestor a few hundred years ago who was given a smallpox blanket?

i make just enough to pay all my bills and rent, and have a little left over for ganja and to save...

all i want to know is where does it stop? it's not my fault the feds ship in the drugs and use it to enslave people...ending the drug war would be a great start in stopping what's going on.
Naw man, I'm just saying that reparations should be paid for as long as it takes. When I say reparations Im not just talking about some paycheck that's owed. Im talking about EQUAL health care, education. I'm looking for a cleanup of the inner-city black neighbourhoods. i'm looking for jobs that arent REQUIRED to be given to me because if affirmative action wasnt in places i could face unfair discrimination. In fact I'd still probably face unfair employment because companies only have to fill a certain quota. Once that quota gets made then they can go back to hiring all the whites they want. It's really fucked up. Nancy Grace bitches about all the suburban middle-class white girls that get abused which is terrible but I havnt seen her shed a tear for any of the black girls who prostitute themselves to make money or the girls who get raped all the time.

Look, what Im saying is that not all reparations are monetary. Even if blacks didnt get a dime personally, an official apology and the stance that things would be made right is enough.
