@@nathanbyd570 I did. I didn’t see any institutional slavery. Yea. There is a lot of human trafficking by criminal organizations as well as sex trafficking but nothing that is “state sponsored” or anything legal. So why even bring this up in this discussions? Slavery has been illegal in the US for over 160 years. That’s 6 generations. Most American citizens’ ancestry had nothing to do with slavery that long ago. Even in the south. Most people’s family immigrated here between 1880s and 1910s. Most blacks have no roots in their family history back to the days of slavery. The level of mass immigration right before and after the 20th century change the country completely.

Let us pause for a moment and give thanks for the many great contributions of the Black community to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature makes them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. And their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real estate values are fueled by the influx of Blacks into an area due to their caring and respectful nurturing of these communities, an example of all they have achieved by their enthusiasm for self-improvement through hard work and a self-reliant, can-do nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would be poorer as a nation. Their unique musical talents, especially their flair for lyrics, gently touch the soul, uplifting humanity in general and promoting respect for women in particular. And their high regard for justice, steadfast cooperation with law enforcement, and consideration for the well-being of the other fellow, are a source of strength and pride for them all. So without further ado, I would like to wish everyone a Happy Black History Month. You are racist if you do not celebrate Black History Month. Amen.
Hell no ! Reparations? Thats stupid . Forget it ….
I always thought people wanting reparations was a joke. You mean there are actually people who believe they deserve it?? How can you want equality and at the same time special treatment while sounding like you want to be segregated from others….if you have special programs to give people easier times and to qualify for them you have to be a certain race then that is not reparations that’s blatant discrimination.

Definition of Reparations: the making of amends for a wrong one has done, by paying money to or otherwise helping those who have been wronged. Every country, county, state on this planet in every century has had needs of reparation to some degree. Paying blacks/brown/whatever in this country would be ludicrous on every level. Where would the buck stop? Let’s start by being fair now to everyone. Probably the best route IMO. All’s I’m seeing is greed at this point, not reparation.

Often times confirmation bias can lean us twd seeing things a certain way, like greed for example. For you to provide the definition then claim this country has been too crappy to too many people for us to right our wrongs is simply illogical. We have the means and the evidence to justify this particular situation. We don't close the justice system seasonally, it's a year-round process. I'd much rather live in a country willing to spend as much time as they did harming people to apply the same amount of effort repairing it's citizens, regardless of the group. Becoming a more efficient and prosperous country is a marathon not a race.

That's definitely not how that works, Garriott. Perhaps GI Bill benefits provided to whites but not blacks returning from fighting in WW2 was the reparations you seek. They received guaranteed mortgages and further education opportunities. Those are the two most surefire ways to build wealth for yourself and future generations, land/house ownership and education. Both systematically denied to black veterans at the time. This is one example of what reparations is actually based upon. Policy based, racially motivated disenfranchisement. There are plenty of instances and a wealth of evidence for a legitimate case to be made. If you're against justice, please simply state that and we can move on.

@@terarosen7909 ok that's cool, and I do understand your concern. I have no problem with you being against it at all and to answer one of your questions, I do not feel that anyone should suffer financially to support us. The US needs to make it right and it should not put a burden on my other fellow Americans either, that would definitely cause more division and hate/jealousy towards the black community. So let me ask this, because it hasn't been confirmed that reparations would cause others to pay extra taxes, these are all assumptions so far, but if it is proven that a reparations bill will not affect you financially, would you still be against it? I will also touch on your other questions and comments as well; I am just trying to tackle one subject at a time. I didn't want to respond with an essay, I have a bad habit of doing that lol...but I do appreciate you being respectful and direct with your questions and comments.

Are you aware that reparations is based on more than slavery? And that we paid reparations to at least 2 other groups while previously enslaved people were still alive? The reality is that this country's political and justice system was infused with racism for a majority of it's history to this point. You may not be personally responsible but the country you live in is. If you believe in justice for all, you'll consider that justice is do for some that have been historically excluded from it. If you need an example, African American WW2 veterans were excluded from GI Bill guaranteed mortgages and further education opportunities in 1946. Previously enslaved people were still alive at this point in time. Mind you, we essentially strong armed Germany into paying reparations that same year. If it wasn't for us they wouldn't have received them. All while withholding the main ways of establishing generational wealth from black veterans and their families, via home ownership and higher learning. Another major instance of reparations in this country came in 1988 for Japanese Americans held in internment camps during those same years. The full circle example of why reparations deserves real consideration. It's not just about what we see today, it's about the injustice that has results still visible today and the gov't system still in place then and now.

In consideration to ancestors that were slaves but not their living descendants and ancestors who were slave holders but not their living descendants: We weren’t alive when Adam and Eve ate the fruit either. But because God is just and loves justice, something had to be done… And thankfully the “Good News” is that he’s also righteous. So Instead of holding humanity guilty Jesus died on behalf of all humanity. And so the debt was paid. Now perhaps God may help many to embrace the opportunity for slavery reparations and forgiveness, respectively. More importantly I feel like when anyone is redeemed some forms of reparations for the injustices done to our ancestors; let us believers that trust in God share what we have as God leads us. Be a blessings to others In a way that pleases God. All who trust in God Let us share with -anybody. Let us love one another and go to bonfire worship services together to celebrate the king of kings. Many people know that It’s looking way too late in the evening time. In other words if you receive reparations act like you don’t even have it. And stay focused on God and eternity. And remember we are all created in the image of God and are family. It’s looking high time to ask God save ourselves individually from hell. So he can help us depart from the evil of this spiraling down because of sin and selfishness, that we ALL were trapped in; So much so that someone had to die on our behalf. So of course the devil wants the human family to struggle with divisions and reparations for slavery… And we know that by one man sin passed down so it is justifiable that by one man our sin can be forgiven. And so the price was paid for the wrong of our first mother and father after they were no longer alive, so we can be forgiven. So consider would it be Christ like to pay slavery reparations regardless if the people are dead or alive. I mean because if I die today or tomorrow that’s not gonna give me a free ticket to heaven; I gotta do something more than that. And so the opportunity for me to strive to get things right with God is while I’m above the grave; and no amount of anything is more important than that. Love y’all! 🙏🏽❤️☺️

Reparations needs to be paid out to all blacks at the same time on a federal level. Not a state by state level. This is beyond obvious. Those who get money first is really getting paid more do to inflation and them being able to invest in a cheaper market. Give every person/family they money at the same time so we can get this over with. They could even make payments if needed but really its no cap on how much money they could digitally print.
