I actually agree that black Americans should get reparations

You don’t have to violate TOS. Let me ask you a different way.

Do you think I aligned with a racist group of people by joining the democrat party? If so, why do you think that 2019 democrats are racist like 1865-1970ish Democrats?

By 2019 democrats? Nope.

What evidence do you have that 2019 democrats are the same as 1865-1970ish Democrats?

Indeed, as we all know, as soon as slavery was abolished, black people were smoothly integrated into society, with white people embracing their new freed brothers and sisters with welcoming arms.

It has been beautiful and harmonious ever since then.

Of course there have been a few issues here and there, but for the most part, State, local and federal governments stepped up and ensured black people were treated fairly and with respect.

Sounds like an admission that you do realize it was the democrat party that discriminated against african americans.

SMH…

Why not answer the question?

Dixiecrats are today’s republicans. Educate yourself, although I know how hard that is to do int he bubble.

There is a segment of today’s left that does want a more socialist society. Also I never said that they should get reparations from the citizens but from Democrat politicians for decades of failed leadership and policies.

The only ones who believe that nonsense are the idiot rightie base.

Yes, it was the southern Democratic party of the 19th and early 20th century that discriminated against blacks. They were the party of small federal government, conservative, traditional values and states rights. Sounds like the platform of the modern Democratic party, doesn’t it?

You do realize that the overwhelming majority of today’s Americans are NOT descendants of slave owners, right?

It’s also true that the majority of the populace in places that supported systemic racism were also not descendants of slave owners. They still supported a system that disenfranchised blacks of civil rights and multi-generational wealth. It’s a burden we all bear and by not working to implement policy that mitigates that disparity to this day, we’re all worse off due to the ramifications of those disparities.

If you insist on reparations, then they should come from those who desperately tried to oppress blacks through policy, the REPUBLICANS.

All because Dems failed to succeed as much as they had hoped doesn’t mean you punish them for the oppression promoted by the right.

But nice try in attempting to confuse the issue.

Adding to what Adroit stated.
The reparations are not just for slavery…it also includes the next 100+ years of being treated as 2nd class citizens. Much of it, being done by state local and federal governments.

Are you familiar with redlining?
How a lot of the new deal did not apply to black people?

Black WW 2 Vets also got screwed.

More specifically, conservatives…from both parties.

So no answer to my question?

Donald trump loves the uneducated. You are not his target market. But some people in this thread are.

Those people who get medicare and social security love it.

They want to “encourage economic development in the area”.

They should ■■■■■■■ rebuild it, in toto.

Add every single person in Hollywood. All of their wealth should be confiscated and they should be forced to live in a middle class neighborhood with a neighbor named Bob who cuts his grass way too short.

Uhm Dude. Just out of curiosity, have you checked to see what website you are using lately?
