Nothing will ever be good enough.
Shine my f’ing shoes.
“Activists on Saturday demanded that the state of California pay millions of dollars to each Black resident in reparations..”
I wouldn’t give them the steam off a January San Francisco street turd.
I’d be willing to pay their air fare back to Africa...That’s it.
I wants eleventy zillion!
Why not just give them free everything for life?
I’d like to see each person get a $1 Trillion dollar coin, now making the issues discussed to “get out from debt”. How many want reparations? A million? Just strike a million $1 Trillion coins.
Apparently 50% of all banks have under-water UST notes, and are lining up to fail en banc, pardon the pun.
The folks getting reparations this way will be happy for a short time, but might get a bit disillusioned when a cup of coffee costs a billion or two.
One dollar I was right again, a one-way ticket to Africa, if they want. Otherwise, they participate and live in American society as equals.
Ripoffrations could be the spark to CWII.
Do I get reparations for my ancestors’ property which was freed without compensation? I also have an ancestor who lost his job as an overseer when the yankees came and got thrown out of his house.
Be careful what you wish for.
California was never a slave state
These activists are either very stupid or very clever.
Very stupid if they really think that eligible black people will be getting anywhere near $200 million per person That’s complete nonsense.
But very clever if this is just a shrewd negotiating tactic: Let’s ask for $200 million per person. Then the guilt-ridden white legislators in Sacramento will counter with $60,000 per person. That’s more than what we secretly hoped for! And it makes those silly white folks feel good.
Done deal.
How ‘bout a googolplex, will that be enough?
These are pmts not to riot.
We paid the Barberry pirates not to pirate, then things changed.
Unless you are descended from royalty, or from a multi-generational wealthy family, your family was probably under someone’s thumb at some point in history. I owe no one for what their ancestors went through. No one in my family was even here until the early 1900s. That said, even those whose families were here are not responsible for what their ancestors did.
Does a child in Spain or Portugal owe the world for things the Conquistadors did? Do the descendants of Spaniards in Mexico owe all the indigenous people of Mexico? What about blacks who participated in the conquest of Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, Mexico and other nations/lands (e.g. Juan Garrido)? Do all German children owe the Jews and the descendants of all those who fought for the allies in WWII?
The examples could go on and on. The amount of anti-white hatred and racism being perpetuated at this time in the world is astounding and immoral. It will lead to nothing good, for anyone.
They aren’t worth 200 million. Most of them never did a day’s work in their lives. Whitey is going to have to man up and tell them to go take a hike. They should be paying Americans for allowing them to remain here after the Civil War. They’d be living in huts in the jungle and walking everywhere if they were still living in their beloved Africa. No educations, no professional sports, no Mercedes, Audis and Cadillacs. Nothing.
