So when the Democrats get control of the house and Senate and reward blacks reparations

[White LGI]

And every nigga in America gets 350k


How you think white folks gone feel?

[Ouch]

shut up

[Zaddy]

shut up

[Ouch]

That dudes trolling..


but the puppermaster Zaddy that used to scare me

[White LGI]

I'm trolling kinda


But reparations are coming for real

[Ghost1]

Sorry u forfeited yours when u voted Trump. Actually gonna have to revoke ur skin too.

[White LGI]

Trump is a nigger

[Sharp]

I know it's a troll thread and no one on NC can name 3 senators, but dems taking the senate in 2020 seems unlikely considering they have to win 4 and lose 0 (and they still have that fluke senate seat in Alabama, so it's more like win 5)

[the Munster]

Reparations better be land and not some bullshit like a couple thousand

They wanted to give the slaves money back then and they said no they wanted land to build on. White people agreed and then they never heard anything else about it. One of the biggest shams in history and white people act like it doesn’t matter. Generational wealth does not matter, you need to be succesful now black people, with no resources outside of section 8.

[the Munster]

The fake white Jews got reparations from America lol. They ain’t even have shit to do with America

[the Munster]

But yea trump is losing so I doubt congress will be blue too. Only reason he won the first time was because the dems went with Hillary. Nobody was fucking voting for her the shit was retarded. Like 90 million people decided not to vote

Reparations wouldn't really accomplish anything. You could give every person in the country with more than 1/16th of african-american heritage 100 million dollars and the racial relations between white and black people would still continue to be what it is. It's not like black people would say "Now that we got this money, we can call it even and forget that slavery shit", it would still continue to be their identity in America. White people would still be in the majority of policy-making positions where they can tax and control as necessary and white people would continue to be the majority of the U.S. population in general. The systemic segregation that already exists would still exist. Black males would still be perceived as a threat and criminalized and killed at disproportionate rates. White people would still control media, corporations, and 100 million is still less than 1% of Jeff Bezos net worth. The people who are the top of the world's wealthiest really aren't bothered by others with that kind of money, that's an NFL salary.

Realistically what would happen is the people who are already at the top 100 wealthiest, along with a select few people from the smartest/best-connected 1% of black people would find a way to accumulate all of that wealth for themselves by making everyone else customers, because that's exactly how capitalism has always worked.


also lol @ wanting land. it's 2020, not the 1800's. The fuck you gonna do with land. Gonna grow some crops and ride your mule

Not exactly.

If Biden wins, Dems just need to go +3, because they’ll get the tiebreaker. Right now, 538 is predicting 3-5 seats going blue, so it’s definitely not out of the realm of possibility.

[uh-oh]

Biden aint winning. Reparations aint coming.

Jeff bezos earned his money. America is the GOAT

I can see them going +3 at best

Not that any of it matters without a supermajority considering the republicans figured out they cannot filibuster anything and blame Obama for doing nothing back in 2010

Not disagreeing about the probability of Dems winning... but, it definitely does matter with respect to SC appointments. RBG is on her last legs and Breyer is right behind her. If either of those positions gets filled by Trump (or blocked by McConnell), we’re all in a shitload of trouble... for a long, long time.

I don't even want to think about how the senate will handle SC appointments now. If RBG goes before the election... Man I don't even know anymore haha

I missed this but yay Answer's here at all, let alone in this thread

I agree as far as reparations for slavery, but what about reparations similar to what was proposed in this article?

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/06/the-case-for-reparations/361631/


Tldr there were laws/practices that allowed black people to be stopped from buying homes in the same areas as white people despite being able to afford it, creating racial ghettos which begat economic ghettos and now that they are theoretically able to move, they (and their children/grandchildren) missed out on years of accumulated wealth because of it. This article proposes reparations for living people effected by this

Lol. If you gave everybblack 100 million dollars no black person would give a flying fuck about the race relations part. At all

With that type of money we would happily segregate ourselves and white people would do everything in their power to work with us. I pretty much totally disagree with u

[Urban Dialect]

white people would do everything in their power to work with us.

black people will never learn..... LOL@ the idea of working with white people, as if white people would work with us.

what does History tells us they'll do?

Love the idea of separating but working with them after separating is foolishness, how did that go for the native Americans?
