On Drudge is a story that has been picked up by a number of outlets about a man who is white, but identifies as a Filipino. Some will embrace this concept. I know some of my relatives will. This Thanksgiving, I plan to counter with this comparison: If I identify as being black, does that indemnify me from paying reparations for slavery?
In the South, many of the ‘free men of color’ owned slaves.
Should they be paying reparations, or receiving them?
If you’re half white (Obama, Kaepernick), should you pay yourself?
What about a biracial person?
Do they only get half?...................
“If I identify as being black, does that indemnify me from paying reparations for slavery?”
There are no reparations for slavery.
But I get your joke.
What does is means not only do you have to pay reparations you get them too!
You made the same joke I made, I see.
I’m 4% North African.. do I get a discount?
Just refuse to accept this fad of “identify as...”. It is ridiculous from end to end. It was created to confuse us and silence us. Just more leftist idiocy.
There’s an old Groucho line. He’s at a country club and told his son couldn’t swim because it’s restricted.
Groucho said, “He’s only half Jewish. Can he go in up to his waist?”
Yes, and full reparations includes relocation to ones continent of ancestoral origin.
I don’t why it wouldn’t. On a slightly more serious note, there is literally nothing stopping white people from “identifying” as black on admissions and employment applications thereby enabling them to benefit from affirmative action.
Yes, I’m all for reparations.
Anyone who had a relative on the side of the north should be reimbursed by black people.
If someone identifies as another, can they cash the other’s checks?
Filipino is a race? No. It’s a nationality. End of discussion.
Why can’t Whites shed the oppressive collective guilt that all Whites bear by claiming to be Black? Because White Guilt is so strong that it survives everything: death, reproduction, emigration. Nothing can wipe it out. It is carried in the genes, and the Guilt Gene even has the power to jump into people whose parents and grandparents were born in another country! Whiteness is an incurable disease! Why they even teach college courses on “Whiteness.”
So Rachel Dolezal was condemned by all Blacks, and ridiculed by Whites for daring to pass herself off as Black - no, she could not shed her White Guilt that way. She was kicked out of the NAACP for pretending she was Black. How dare her come into the building with so many White Guilt genes.
No reparations ever. Only repatriation; the sooner the better.
Today, I am coming out of the closet, and announcing I just feel like I am, or was supposed to really be a Manhattan Indian, AND I am demanding financial reparations from the government and all corporations which have ever done business there! I am also demanding reparations and fines be taken from all European governments for starting all this mess, retroactive to Leaf Erikson funny hat.
If business no longer live, government give me half of all tax ever stolen from stupid white man!
Only after smoking two tons weed in peace pipe, using 13 pounds of crack, and 200 pounds of fentanyl, plus reparations, will stupid Marxist justice warrior white man begin relieve collective guilt problem.
In future, when stupid white man forget, we demand peace pipe again, and 2000 year reparations.
I never thought I’d see the day where over half of our ever decreasing functional society would be this insane and running around making demands like this absurdity.
Comes out even then!
