The Fake Native American Now Wants Reparations for Slavery

[docsherm]

It is not only reparations for slavery. It is also for centuries of African Americans being denied the opportunity to build wealth because white privilege.

It is ironic that the people who would pay for reparations entered college and the workforce after affirmative action, preferential admission, hiring quotas, protected classes, and equal opportunity became both law and the societal norm.

Still waiting on my extra check also.

Just imagine being the white guy Jussie Smollett picked out of a line up as one of his attackers?
You'd be in jail a long time before someone would have given a damn about all of your "White Privilege."
That's the thing about all of it, it's 90% BS and a lot of it is situational.

He needs to be charged with a Federal Hate Crime.

Are there any children of slaves still living today? If so then I think they should get reparations. Grandchildren and beyond? Not so much.

However there is an argument made on the nation needing to fix the issues we still face related to segregation. Not financial reparations but some other solutions are needed.

Regardless of the facts of the matter this is a blatant publicity stunt leading up to election year.

Of course you would see this.

The only "segregation" today is minority "identity" groups wanting to separate from the rest of society, reverse-segregation if you will. BET, the Congressional Black Caucus, Hispanic Caucus, Black Miss America, black-only fraternities and sororities, and the list goes on. Where is the "white" version of those, outside of some uber-fringe whacko groups? i.e. not nearly as mainstream as the minority ones. Not even close. But that's okay right? They deserve the right to self-segregate. Completely the opposite of the intentions of the founders of the Civil Rights movement 60 years ago.

So you are trying to claim that none of the issues faced today are a direct result of long term segregation in his country that just ended in the 60s? An entire group of people forced to have worse educations, lower paying jobs, shoved into their own small communities and punished if they tried to better themselves. Then suddenly they were equal. But at that point they were way behind and nothing was ever done to correct that. But you think it had no impact on things. riiight.

And where did I say anything about Segregation today? I said the issues we face related to segregation. I see reading comprehension isn't on your list of skills either.

I see proper choice of words isn't your strong suit, among other shortcomings. No one forced that on anyone; choice and perpetual victimhood are the culprits, along with perennially bleeding hearts such as your own that enable it.

And now you are claiming that segregation wasn't forced?
Segregation was literally in the laws at the time. How much more forced do you want it? Kids had to be escorted to school by federal marshalls once it was overturned. How were people NOT forced into segregation.

There was no choice in the matter. Black codes, Jim Crow, Zoning laws that force non whites to live in certain areas.. Again. How did people have a choice?

Agree to a point. That was 50+ years ago, in most cases closer to 60. Yeah, your argument was directly applicable then. The passage of 50-60 years is what, like 3 generations (roughly)? I don't think you can apply the legit grievances of grandparents or great-grandparents to a 20-something black guy in 2019. That is where you cross into being perpetually aggrieved for things that did not affect you. That your grandfather or great-grandfather had to use a different restroom or couldn't drink from the same water fountain (however totally f****d up that crap was) should have NO bearing on a 20 or 30 year old black person NOW. This society has come almost 180 degrees from those days, to where now the perception is that they actually have an advantage (whether true or not, the perception HAS come that far from the days of old).
