"Reparations" is the latest camouflage word for theft.

Nobody owes "reparations" to anybody.

“Diversity, equity, and inclusion” is the reparations they concocted to pacify their black worshippers."

And lots of narcotics, don't forget the narcotics...

“Nobody owes “reparations” to anybody.”
Isn’t that the truth! Between 1861 and 1865, over 600,000 Americans died freeing the slaves. That debt has been paid in full for over 150 years.

“That debt has been paid in full for over 150 years.”

Any white liberal who still thinks that even MORE is owed is encouraged to walk alone and unarmed (naturally) down any urban ghetto street on any night.

You’ll pay some “repamarations” then, baby. But you suddenly might not feeeel so good about it.

redistributionism + egalitarianism + government interventionism leads to

Reduced economic efficiency: Redistribution and government intervention can discourage investment and entrepreneurship if they are perceived as overly burdensome or disincentivize hard work. This could lead to slower economic growth.

Loss of individual freedom: Extensive government intervention and regulation can limit individual choice and freedom in pursuit of egalitarian goals. This can raise concerns about personal liberty and autonomy.

Bureaucracy and inefficiency: Implementing complex redistribution programs and regulations can create bureaucratic costs and inefficiencies, potentially limiting their effectiveness.

Unintended consequences: Unforeseen side effects of policies can arise, such as disincentivizing work or creating black markets. Careful design and evaluation are crucial to mitigate such risks.

Wealth Redistribution: Policies may be implemented to transfer wealth from the richer segments of society to the poorer ones. This could involve progressive taxation, social welfare programs, and other mechanisms to ensure a more equal distribution of economic resources.

Progressive Taxation: Taxation systems may be designed to place a higher burden on the wealthier individuals and corporations. Progressive tax rates aim to collect a larger percentage of income from those with higher earnings.

Regulation and Oversight: There may be increased government regulation and oversight of economic activities

Government Planning and bureaucratic management: Depending on the extent of interventionism, there might be government planning in key sectors of the economy. This can include strategic investments, nationalization of certain industries, or the implementation of economic policies aimed at achieving specific social goals.

I propose “Reparations by Wall Street”.

Have them grant “giveaway” stocks to encourage inclusivity with Capitalism and the American Way.

I think the Dems owe reparations. Having been freed, the blacks were abused thru the Dem party by the KKK, Jim Crow laws & refusal to pass civil rights legislation. The Dems in reality were the true abusers of the black population. And they continue to do so with their progressive policies. Granted, no one alive now was a slave, but the Dems have perpetuated bad policies visa vi blacks for how many years now?

EXACTLY. Case closed; forever. Bank account closed, forever.
No other nation did as much as the US did in 1865 to free people .
It was accomplished.
It’s done, finished, forever .
People need to quit their whining and get off the coach and make a life for theirselves .

Mark Cuban has a net worth of nearly $7 billion. Perhaps he and some other woke billionares can pool their money together and start the National Negro Fund.

Cuban will be the worst vanity 3rd-party campaign in the history of vanity 3rd-party campaigns. He will get cornered under those MSM camera lights and asked every question about his sordid past.

Mark will eventually lose his shit and chump out, but hopefully he drives some wedge issues into Biden's weakening hold on his far Left, simply by offering Gruesome-style neomarxist talking points from a non-octogenarian.

Meanwhile Gruesome is the real loser in any Cuban campaign and you can guarantee his henchmen are digging dirt on this showboat right now. Trump won't have to lift a finger.

Everyone who got a gender or race preference owes the White Man. There fixed it. Instead of being grateful you are getting these preferences white men are denied, you hate him even more. This is the way stupid people rationalize their self worth.

If tomorrow they did away with all preferences in educaiton and hiring, and in promotions, etc., people would scream they the white man is holding them down.

That same white guy that went to the same classrooms with white sisters, and all the other categories of gifters.

How about we get the white guys the only preferences for the next 55 years (1968-2023/4) and see how everyone gets a warm fuzzy feeling because America does the right thing.

Trump is going to kill race and gender preferences at the Federal level and get it out of the laws forcing the states to do likewise. This is the reason for DEI and to institute a new level of preference mandates.

I don't.

The Democrats stole their loot "fair and square" from Blacks. They aren't ever going to give any of it back.

It is up to Blacks to wise up and stop the steal.

Lovely thought. Never gonna happen.

All these Progressives who talk about "reparations" want us to pony up the cash, which they can pass around to their friends. And they will take a percentage off the top for themselves of course for "Administrative costs".

"Reparations" = Theft.

Reparations are the latest tactic the elites are using, along with climate change, to destroy and enslave the middle class and establish their long desired global government with them in charge of course.
