Fox News would have people believe that reparations are: "monetary compensation for slavery." Not only is that a demonstrably asinine and incorrect definition of the word, it's foundational ignorance that fosters antipathy.

Reparations are defined as: repairing or keeping in repair; the act of making amends or giving satisfaction for wrong(s). There's not a single person in the U.S. who claims African as a prefix that deserves monetary reparations from America. I contend that everything these persons deserve they have in equal portion and more compared to others, beginning with the ability to murder their children, which I argue is a disparate measure for them.

The people in America whose self-worth and esteem is singularly based upon the prefix African have the same Constitution as others, with additional amendments added specifically to benefit them. They have civil rights and voting rights that they can be wield as instruments of complaint in the blink of an eye. Add to that they've the super weapon called "hate crimes" that can be leveled with great tenacity and falsity.

If these people want monetary reparations, let them get it from the countries responsible for their distant ancestors being slaves in the first place. That would be the Ashanti Empire and Dahomey tribes that dominated the Ivory Coast areas of Africa.

Which brings me brings me California. A state task force has recommended reparations of up to $1.2 million, based upon melanin and the ability to prove an ancestral connection to slavery in America. The top-tier of payouts will go to those who have been in prison and/or those who allege they've suffered housing discrimination.

Reparations would reward self-induced failure and give the recipients an additional reason to hate the people whose money would be taken to pay for reparations.

‘Self-Induced Theology of Victimology’

The Ashanti Empire and Dahomey tribes that dominated the Ivory Coast areas of Africa.

Is where the money needs to come from if they want to blame anybody.

Back in 2003 I got sent to Puerto Rico for a week for work. The guy with me was Philipino....when we were off work we’d go out and eat, check out the island etc. and I began to notice some of the locals giving my coworker a hard time......when I asked him about it he said Puerto Ricans don’t like Philipinos......i never heard that before and if I hadn’t seen it for myself I wouldn’t have believed it.

There’s racism all over the world.....but according to the media ya gotta be a Caucasian......one of the greatest falsehoods to ever be perpetrated on people ever.......well that and covid shots work and if you don’t get one you’re gonna die.

Oh yeah one more.....the 2020 election wasn’t stolen. 😏
