GET READY: New Congress Will Look Into ‘Reparations’ for ‘Descendants of Slaves’

[tirwin1]

My earliest ancestors in this country were from Lithuania and they weren’t here until around the 1930s. I also had a great great grandparent immigrate around then. My family lineage had nothing to do with slavery, they were peseant farmers in Europe decades after slavery was abolished here. Why should I have to pay reparations? I had nothing to do with slavery

You silly person. You enjoy white privilege even though your ancestors came from Lithuania. So.You.Must.Pay.

I have a daughter that is getting her masters degree in education so she can teach. They provide her with the whole white privilege lecture in the first semester. It's reprehensible. The lesson is that even if you don't have hate in your heart you enjoy the unseen, ever-present benefits of a racist system that is everywhere.

My wife has a friend that has been a teacher in the city for 20 years. She had to go through white privilege training and was appalled to discover that she is part of the problem. Showing up for work for 20 years apparently means nothing.

The push to mainstream this white privilege nonsense is laying the groundwork to justify reparations.

I think having to prove you're descended from slaves is too much to ask. As long as you sign an official affidavit saying you are you should be GTG.

A coherent argument could be made affirming that 99% of all living and dead are slaves/ancestors of slaves. Could also affirm that 99% of all people are currently slaves. They might want to rethink before a shit load of people wake up. But in reality it's just money for black votes.

If this is passed I will mug a recipient to get my money back.

I like the idea of DNA testing to validate claims, then withhold child support as needed for current arrears.

To hell with all of them. All peoples in the US have had more than enough opportunity to be successful, too many have chosen to be slugs and live in the past. Get off your ass, get a fucking education, get a job and be a good citizen. Holy shit, this is not hard.

The Indians were mentioned as well, don't like life on the reservations? Holy shit, leave. Again, get better, increase your worth and participate into society!

Think my relative as a teacher in Canada went through the same stuff.

He loathes the politics of teaching now, and it didn't take him long (not even 40 yet). Particularly as a male (majority of his fellow teachers are not) he feels under pressure to watch his behavior.

This is why I have very limited sympathy for contemporary natives who live in reservations, plagued by unemployment and alcoholism, as statistics say they are. Move, go find work somewhere. I did. I was not born in New York. I have no family in this state. Unless you have a disability, once you hit 18 you can join the military. It's an option open to everybody with citizenship.

I don't hear much by way of condemnation for the adherents to the "Religion of Peace" (tm) that CURRENTLY practice slavery as part of their religious diktat.

You know, some people enjoy being slaves to hot women...

 

[stuck in ny]

Bernie needs to pay us reparations for his state's lack of loyalty to the '76-83 revolution.
Additionally, Andy owns me reparations for Italy's attack on Germany in 49 BC.

!

If you mean adopt the white mans ways to better your self, your being an oppressive raciest,

Nothing more than communism disguised as social justice.

Truth be told, their ancestors were sold off as slaves by their own tribal leaders centuries ago from tribal warfare.
And that shit is still going on.

As part of this the US will of course levy fines against those countries these people came from, which supported and condoned these seizures 200 years ago.
