What happens when these churches realize that reparations don’t magically fix the black nuclear family?
Let me guess... more reparations!
There is no end-date for these payments. Don’t think you can pay once, and be done with it. You will be paying for the rest of your life, and your 50th generation grandchildren will be too.
It’s a little like original sin, only there is no Redeemer, and you’re condemned eternally for something you didn’t do.
If I wanted to destroy Christianity, I could do no better than the majority of mainstream Protestant demonimations, and at the lead, the Catholic Church under Pope Out of the Closet.
There’s an old name for this. It’s called “Purchasing Indulgences”.
The race hustlers will NEVER be satisfied.
Reparations then would benefit the economy, enrichen those affected, win-over some "hard cases", add those as avid investors, and create interest in the engine that drives this country.
Maybe even win over some to Conservatism?
It would certainly quiet "the Noise". :)
The denomination has lost 0ver 37% of their membership in the last 10 years and the decline is accelerating. I wonder if their leadership ever asks itself, “why?”
The root cause of "black inequity" is the degraded state of the nuclear family among the "black community." The root cause is not that black people have less money, or that black people are not invested in the stock market.
How about white reparations? Whites were slaves too, infsct, it’s suggested that more whites than blacks might have been slaves. Blacks owned white slaves as well. And blacks were slaves owners themselves. Kamalama I believe has slave owners in her past,as do many in office fro what I understand, but I guess only conservatives can be white supremacists, and must pay the price?
I wonder if That is why they want reparations, because their offerings accumulations are way down. So they will “handle all reparztions” (20% for black folks, 80% handling fee for the corrupt church)
The stupidest thing of all is that it is white Christians who were on the front lines of abolitionism.
They ought to feel proud, not ashamed! They don’t know their history, their own forefathers were trailblazers and did the hard work.
old churches have large endowments from past givers. In the old days it was not unusual for well-to-do parishioners to leave part or all of their estates to the church. I suspect these reparations will be from endowment proceeds.
White liberals are afraid of all the big scary negroes. They think giving them money will make it all better. Are they ever in for a surprise.
Where do i send my $0.02?
I have a better understanding of this issue than most because of the unique circumstances of my birth. I was born in Germany and adopted by an American family; my adoptive father was stationed over there.
Fast forward; I’ve always known that I was adopted and for years my mom told me to look up my blood family which I never did.
Let’s say for the sake of argument that I did and in so doing, found out that some of them were members of the Nazi party and some were in the SS and had participated in atrocities.
Here’s the $64,000 question: as their descendant, am I guilty of those crimes?
Awaiting your response.
If I didn’t own you, then I don’t owe you.
The US is the only extant country with this problem--and we are being watched...
