Ya I feel the same, I am a 2nd generation immigrant why should my tax dollars go to something no one ever in my family had any part of just based on my skin pigmentation?

When it all comes down to it’s always about the money, and how much they can take from you. I remember hearing Mike Tyson say once who one doesn’t think of as a scholar. No matter how hard you work to make your money there are people out there working harder figuring out ways to take it from you.

very true.

Just free land to settle in the first place.

because no one starves if a 65 yr old lady doesnt get a check because she had to use the “colored” fountain in 1960

Her grand kids might…

Segregation of fountains is the only way Jim Crow impacted African Americans?

Like…40 acres and a mule?

I’m asking you to make yours more factual…

There are people alive today that were impacted by the government through Jim Crow… they are farmers, mechanics, home builders etc.

Why are farmers in 2019 more worthy of reparations than a brick layer in 1955?

Long standing precedent, which boils down to you aren’t suing the same government after a certain period of time. As it isn’t led or made up of the people who did the harm.

[AngraMainyu]

Yes. The one that comes to my mind first was some money and land for any white person that would settle in Oregon. Happened all over the country for whites. No 40 acres and a mule for the freedmen, however.

No…it happened and was executed by General Sherman but rescinded later by a Democrat President…Andrew Johnson.

The reconstruction era would have corrected the wrongs inflicted, if allowed to progress. We wouldn’t be having this conversation now had Jim Crow Terrorism © not been inflicted for 100 years following emancipation.

the “life wasnt fair/easy” tax

Glad you could find 3,500 black people that benefited from a program that gave free land to 1.6 million White families.

Democrat policies once again…

[AngraMainyu]

Sure. I just label them racists, but I guess we can identify the party responsible at the time. The murder of black republicans was commonplace.
