Belinda, we don’t care what a White Guilt-laden academician thinks. My ancestors owned no slaves, no one alive was a slave, and we’re tired of the idea that another massive government wealth transfer scheme is going to solve anything.
People need to buckle down and get to work and not loot businesses in their neighborhoods over perceived injustice that idiots like you give misguided ideological cover for, just for starters.
No it wouldn’t. Even if payment was made, once the funds run out, they’d demanding more.
Maybe instead of the TRILLIONS we have already spent we do something different: Try that sh*t again and we cut of your welfare.
In a modern advanced free division of labor society, there is a powerful natural force at work which steadily operates to wash away all stains of past injustice.This is the fact that in such a society production is carried on for the market, and that property is gained or lost to the degree that one produces to the satisfaction of the market.
To the degree that reparations results in violent seizure of private property, it causes increased insecurity of private property. This works to destroy the modern advanced free division of labor society that naturally accomplishes the same thing as transitional justice.
Well then you better go find the descendants of the tribes in Africa that captured them and sold them to the slavers. If they hadn't repeatedly sold their own people down the river, there would have been fewer slaves on those ships coming to the New World.
Giving the money will only make the problem a whole lot worse. Theses people are poor because they don’t feel they need jobs and family. That makes them vindictive undisciplined and generally prone to mishap that results from the both.
So could an ISIS terrorist attack or coordinated civil disruption by Mexican cartels. Pick one, as long as it's not reparations, because it ain't gonna ever happen.
REPATRIATE them back to Africa. That is the only way to avoid another Ferguson.
Or cause it.
Saw the headline, and boom, my head exploded. Don’t even know how i am typing this
I’m Jewish and from a Holocaust destroyed family (Lemberg/Lvov/Auschwitz/Belzec). I don’t get reparations from the Germans and never have tried to apply for them. That would have applied to my late grandmother and her brother who got to America earlier in the century, not me.
The Holocaust occurred during my lifetime. Slavery did not and none of my ancestors were even in America during that period of time. I bear no guilt for what was done back then.
My job is to see that racial discrimination, among other forms of discrimination, is not institutionalized. If somebody doesn’t like someone for any variety of reasons, so be it. I can’t change their minds, if they have any.
White guilt, as exemplified by Cooper, is like a pair of handcuffs on the mind. You are never freed of them and you’ll need to continually pay and pay and pay for something you didn’t do.
Screw that. If Cooper wants to pony-up her money and give it to Al the Charlatan Sharpton, Jesse the Ambulance Adulterer Jackson, and Eric “Mr. Reparations I Hate White People Holder”, let her do so.
In Yiddish we have a word for guilt-ridden Jewish fools like her - SCHMUCK! Look it up in the dictionary. You’ll probably find her Cooper’s photo attached to its’ definition.
Belinda Cooper is too f**king stupid to be an idiot.
Reparations will initiate a tsunami of them parasitic bastards assuming room temperature.
High pressure water cannons could prevent the next Ferguson.
Hoorah. Another liberal with another “justice.”
WHAT DO WE WANT?
TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE!
WHEN DO WE WANT IT?
NOW?
Insanity knows no bounds.
extortion
What a bunch of morons. Can’t assimilate one simple FACT, i.e. Michael Brown was a thug.
