It won't pass...

The election is over!

They won't be worried about this until right before the 24' election! Then you might see it get passed...

If they pass this I am going to start identifying as black.

They can either give me the money, or open the giant shit storm that is "defining what it means to be black".

In today's grievance culture that would be a political nuclear explosion. There is no way to do it without people just outside whatever criteria you set coming out of the woodwork with their family sob stories.

People were doing it for decades on government job applications. There is no way to enforce a truthful answer.

One reparation will turn into annual reparations.

Black skin qualifier will turn into *anything* but white skin, brown skin, yellow skin, red skin. GTG.

In the end... Just like the beginning... Reparations will have nothing to do with slavery and everything to do with wealth distribution and buying votes.

Ya heard it first right here... LOL

Or people that take dna tests for ancestry that even show 1% "african" dna should apply.

The progressive American left has been working at discrediting and spinning the notion for some time, but white slavery in the Americas has been widely documented and an integral part of world history. It's not just a couple internet posts and memes but there are volumes of books, British Court filings, shipping records, church records, sale documents, contracts, diaries, sugar plantation ledgers, farm financial sheets, etc

I've seen the topic of white slavery, including the Americas, covered in European and Australian world history curriculums so I guess the American educational monopoly focused on local consumption with several decades of "indentured servant" white washing spin by progressive academics.

On a related note, it even looks like the Islamic slave trade of whites, mostly Europeans and Americans, around the Ottoman borderlands has been slowly purged from history curriculums in the United States over just my lifetime. Will the Marine Corps have to soon remove the "Shores of Tripoli" reference in the whitewashing of political narratives?

It ain't a UBI unless everyone gets it. And since it's impossible to say for a fact who is black and who isn't everyone will ultimately get it. Really in my mind this is just a back door UBI.

So if we pay put reparations, does that mean that all further affirmative action is cancelled?

Will there be requirements for how the money is spent? Its quite common for people (ALL people...) who receive large lump sum payments to blow it on depreciating assets and be back to square one rather quickly. Lottery winners declare bankruptcy at very high rates. Pro athletes as well that don't invest their money wisely. They have short careers that pay big and then it stops. They go belly up all the time too.

I believe I have posted this before, I will repeat...


A 16 year old black kid today was NOT a slave.

His father was NOT a slave.

His Grand father was NOT a slave.

His Great Grandfather was NOT a slave.

His Great-Great Grandfather was NOT a slave.

His Great-Great-Great Grandfather was NOT a slave.

His Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather was NOT a slave.

His Great-Great-Great-Great-great Grandfather may have been a slave, maybe not.

These people would need to go back at least six possibly seven or eight generations to show slavery.

This is beyond a joke. Anything that is lacking in any community, especially black Americans is 100% their fault. No one else forces them to be a menace to themselves or their way of life.

How about acting normal; get an education, get a job, take care of the family that you helped create? Stop breaking the laws. Stop selling drugs. Stop being criminals. Stop quitting school. Stop. Stop acting like you are owed something. Stop acting like you are owed anything. You are not.

Seven fucking generations.

Hell, If we all were to trace that far back, I am sure you could find something that others did wrong to your people.

More buying of votes I see. Great. I hope the republicans win everything back and pass a bill for its repayment. This will do zero to help anyone except maybe a few.

Also who would be eligible? All blacks or those that were truly slaves that can prove it.

They will give money to a black guy who moved here from Africa 5 years ago, but not to a white guy who can trace his ancestry to actual Irish slaves.

Or even a white eastern European girl who was trafficked here as a sex slave 10 years ago.

It's possible my ancestors were never in Egypt and I descended from Khazars. My last name is Serbian.

The Khazars were a semi-nomadic Turkic people with a confederation of Turkic tribes that in the late 6th century CE established a major commercial empire covering the southeastern section of modern European Russia, southern Ukraine, Crimea and Kazakhstan


I had to look them up. Sounds like you came from good stock. Have you done much research on your people?

I looked up and compared some of my possible ancestors as well as some of yours; it looks like they had some times together.

I suspect we have something in common, but Khazars didn't venture that far North. I consider myself Jewish by ethnicity and Russian by heritage.
