Those questions are why I said I'm not totally on board with reparations. Would prefer to just directly address struggling black communities.
By taking from me BY FORCE, or not? In your America will I have the OPTION to say no to giving money to poor communities? Please answer that.
The Ottoman Empire is irrelevant.
No, it's not. I am an Irish-American who may or may not have been implicated in the slavery of Africans. If a Turkish American is the descendent of slaver owners of African people, it's the exact same thing.
So I ask again, do you treat Turkish Americans with as much vitriol as white Americans?
Yes, you have. The black population is disproportionately represented on food stamps, unemployment, and subsidized housing. These are literally government handouts for people who didn't work to earn them.
You tell me how reparations would be different. Does it have to be cash to count as reparations?
Then don't vote for Trump.
I have to. Because even though he's wrong about the minimum wage, for example, he's the only one willing to stand up to the anti-white brigade that is taking over this country.
Black Lives Matter, the "Islamophobia" crowd, feminists - they don't want equality. They want the hetero, Christian, white male eradicated. (And I'm an atheist, but I'm white enough and male enough for them to hate me)
You're the one that said white people will move out of the country before giving a dime to help black folks.
No, I said if you force them to, many of them will leave. As it stands now, some whites empathize with the black victimhood point of view, and others don't. But as of now we're not being forced to do anything.
If you insist on taking more money out of my check so a thug can stay home and smoke weed, I will leave.
Correct, thanks for reiterating the cycle of poverty for everyone to see perfectly.
So you admitted that black on black homicide and other violent crimes committed by autonomous blacks making bad choices is the driver of poverty. Good.
I wonder if a black man can go rape an unconscious woman and only get 3 months in jail?
OJ committed murder and got nothing. Kobe never had to answer for a similar charge and got a heavenly sendoff recently.
All government handouts are "by force" by your logic. You consent to them by being a member of this society.
Incorrect. Following the law is not tacit approval of the law. We comply under duress because we do not want to pay interest and penalties or go to jail, even though you believe white people don't go to jail.
No actually communism is the state owns all means of production, not handing out welfare.
An element of communism is the confiscation of a large amount of wealth in the form of a tax or a fee. If 55% of my check is paid in federal, state, local, and property, and in 2020 60% is coming out because of a reparations tax, that is an example of creeping communism.
I don't engage in goal post fallacies with ignorant posters. If I make an affirmative claim that is common sense, providing proof to that claim just leads you to move the goal post.
You don't possess any common sense. Using vague, general buzzwords that allude to corrupt "institutions" without specific examples or laws isn't common sense. It's racism against the majority under the guise of popular propaganda.
Do you have any capacity for the unequivocal FACT that whites receive far better treatment in the criminal injustice system than blacks? It is not equal.
According to who? Citation? Did you get that from the dissertation of a black PhD who teaches Africana Studies at the University of Harlem?
Kobe Bryant not standing trial is evidence of male privilege more so than race. In the case of a man's word vs. a woman's word in rape cases, guess who usually wins?
The woman. Not even close. Kobe bought her off
