Reparations for Slavery (California)

[n_huffhines]

I believe that our government should be held liable for slavery and the families of victims are entitled to receive compensation, but all that being said IDK how we even begin to go about this, and even if it's done in the most expedient manner possible, we can't afford it.

So maybe a plane ticket if they want it? If not they can stfu. How far back should we go back to hold people liable?

Hey man thanks for the constructive discussion btw.

Nice area you are in there. My old company used to have an annual leaders retreat at the Four Seasons there in Westlake Village. Always enjoyed that area of CA. Beats the hell out of LA proper.

I agree 100% with reparations. Not necessarily with money though. It’s incredibly overdue.

I like the $150k idea for Californians funded by Californians.

If they give blacks reparations.....what about the native Americans?

Never in the history of mankind has so much money been given to such a small population with literally no positive results.

Honest question.....


I am 1 percent black.

No idea how but it's in my dna.

I'm like 60 percent German, 39 percent irish/Scottish and then 1 percent black.


Would I qualify?


I mean what is the cut off?

Or will you have to trace your lineage back to a slave?


What if you are black but your parents were never slaves and lived free in the union?

Gotta throw in volumetric mass. Stacey gonna get her fill share.

More casinos.

Honestly, Andrew Jackson sucks.

If it hadn't been for him there would be gambling in TN.

Hell, errybody gets a robe (that still cracks me up) so errybody gets reparations. Really when you think about it, that is all the gov does. Redistribute and choose winners and losers.

I laffed..but am disturbed at the same time. How can we possibly survive as a nation.

Beats me.... I think the country is in an unrecoverable spin

Who here is actually against reparations as a matter of principle? You'd have to believe either that

1) the government should not be held liable for atrocities

or

2) not think the institutionalization of slavery was an atrocity

I get it, the statute of limitations and all that...that's a legal and a feasibility thing, tho. Not a point of principle.

I personally think the price has already been paid in lives, trillions in assistance, and really anti-descrimination laws that are covertly discrimnatory.

where's the line of demarcation on government atrocities? it's not just those impacted by slavery - it's an ongoing thing since the founding. there are degrees to be sure and that's what I'm getting at - where do you draw the line and say in principle these people who were screwed by the government are due but these people who were screwed by the government are not?

Had reparations been made back in 1865 I’d have no issue with it. Slavery was an atrocity and hard to truly fathom, but reparations?.... yeah nah

Pay up and pay big to any former slave still living here in the US.

I want reparations for my great grandmother who was not able to vote.

And not just America. Maybe that is the point of all this globalist BS

I thought you were going to bed?

Paid in lives? What is that? Anti-discrimination laws are compensation now? "Trillions" in assistance? White people get more assistance, so.... and just because some descendants of slaves get assistance doesn't mean we're good with all descendants of slaves.

So you agree with them in principle. Cool.

I'm not trying to quibble over what event is an atrocity and what is not. I'm going higher concept and staying out of those weeds. The government should be held liable for atrocities. You can decide what the atrocities are, which is why I gave you the option to say slavery is not an atrocity.

You numbskull. The monies from gov come from taxpayers. Like suing yourself. You wanna pay, pay it out of your own damn pocket.
