FULL TITLE: After Doing Some Research, Azealia Banks Shifts Attention From Cultural Appropriation to Reparations for African-Americans After Slavery

FIFTEEN TRILLION dollars spent on welfare just since 1964. That doesn't include housing, education, student loans & grants, vocational training and the like. A trillion is a thousand billion and a billion is a thousand million.

Awe, what the heck, give them trillions in reparations ... they will blow it in a week and half and be back on the dole. Or, just ignore them and they will remain on the dole. Choices, choices, choices.

Even the “evil” Big Banks usually write off the debts of dead people.

At most, they can issue a judgment against the estate of the deceased, but not against the survivors. (In 11 states, they can go after the spouse before the estate, though.)

If a financial institution were to do what Banks is demanding, someone would have put it out of business by now, to put it lightly.

Can someone give me a phrase that describes the insanity of this individual? (I can hardly call them ‘people’)

Years have gone by without my giving a flying f*rt about what Azelia Banks thinks or even who she is or why her mother could not spell. I confidently expect that will continue.

Why?

Its an argument for special treatment.

Nearly every one in the world has been wronged.

If we’re going to pay them reparations, its a very long list.

Azealia Banks shouldn’t count on picking up her personal check anytime soon.

.I agree. Every living slave today freed in the mid 1800s should be fully paid. NO EXCEPTIONS.

EVERY ONE. And id anyone here has a problem with it, too bad. You racists can pony up.

Their descendents all grew up free people in a free country so they can get a job and earn their own or starve.

this is just dumb. the reparations agitators are dumb.
taxes are collected from all and not separated by race which means black taxpayers will be funding reparations to other blacks. the dummies don't even think about that.

Banks explained that the money from reparations could be used to even the playing field when it comes to education.

Riiight. Decades of affirmative action and easy grade giveaways to negros have not done squat.

Now, money is suddenly going to raise the IQ of your race? You could not hack it when it was handed to you, and now money is going to solve your culture's ills?

I do not think so, the bell curve and culture are not going to shift quite that easily.

Okie-Dokie!

Hate to disappoint the little twitette, but I’m First Generation American. No slave holders what-so-ever in my lineage.

But I figger I’m owed *Big Time* by the Brits for my ancestors killed fighting with the likes of William Wallace at the battles of Dunbar, Falkirk and Stirling Castle.

And I have proof positive that our family fortune and lands were appropriated by Longshanks and his henchmen.

Now I can come up with actual historical records showing my claim. Wondering if the misspelled flower sprout can so the same?

40 miles and an acre. A year from now, nothing left but meth teeth and an empty bong.

So many problems implementing reparations - but only if you try to maintain some pretense of of truth or logic.

1. Slavery was legal. No crime was committed on which to base a claim.

2. If we are going to start making things crimes retroactively, lets also retroactively outlaw taking welfare if you are able to work, and claw back all the wealth that was wrongfully stolen from taxpayers through this human rights violation that should have been illegal, even though it wasn’t.

2. If liability will now be inherited and or collectivized, then blacks will also need to make reparations for crimes and torts committed by their ancestors, and other blacks. The great bulk of slaves in the Americas were enslaved by black tribes in Africa, many of whom became the local ruling elites. The wealth of those tribes and nations, like the Ibo of Nigeria, must also be redistributed. Also, many crimes have been committed by individual blacks over the centuries, for which full restitution has not been made. And the cost of their incarceration too. I have personally been robbed and burglarized by blacks, and have scars from it. WHAAA! I want my MotherF*@&!%& Money!

3. Those people of mixed race descent like Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama, and Louis Farrakhan (the majority of African-Americans in fact), would need to establish what percentage of their self is owed reparations, what percentage owes reparations, and to what degree. For example, Obama, with no “slave blood” would have no claim for reparations.

4. The descendants of those blacks who owned or profited from slaves must be scrupulously identified to recoup the ill-gotten gains from their descendants. There were so many black slave owners around New Orleans that they raised a whole Brigade for the Confederacy. In fact, the first person in North America to establish legal ownership over another person for life under English law was a black man named Anthony Johnson. No more than three percent of the white population of the United States ever had slaves.

5. The value of reparations already made, such as the value of freeing slaves, the lives of the hundreds of thousands who died to enable the freeing of slaves, the financial hardship imposed on their widows, orphans and every generation of those families since and until the end of time, the forty acre plots with mules, and so on should be calculated. The great bulk of the slave population in what is now America was initially enslaved by Africans, and freed by Americans.

How about we do repatriations rather than reparations?
Hmmm?
