Whether if you agree or not black Americans are owed reparations

Black Americans who are descendants are owed reparations not just from slavery but for the following: Jim Crow, redlining, inhumane experiments for war, inhumane experiments that were used to further medical practices, forced sterilization burning down our towns, racist propaganda in school books, the CIA causing the crack epidemic, and lastly giving reparations to former slave masters.

people should accept that the past was backward, the black community has some serious victim mentality, even Kanye West spoke on this

Kanye West is the last person I would listen to for anything. @SW-User

@rhouse the world isn't black and white, stop putting people into boxes

rhouse · 56-60, M

Not sure what that means but recognizing that WHITE people enslaved BLACK people and they continue to suffer from WHITE policies is not "putting people into boxes".

That sounds a lot like the husband who has cheated multiple times asking his wife why she can't move on and forget about it. @SW-User

@rhouse at your age you should take accountability for your life and stop expecting handouts from people who aren't even alive

rhouse · 56-60, M

As a white guy with substantial income, I am not expecting a handout from anyone. Apparently you think only black "welfare queens" can see that white people have and still do make policy that negatively affects black America.

Your racism is showing though.

You sound like my kids when they were younger. "It wasn't me."

@rhouse lol my own country was colonised by the British, you sound like one of those white people who try hard to impress other races, if you really want to make a difference go support their businesses and educate your racist friends, stop expecting money from people who aren't even alive lolz

rhouse · 56-60, M

I am trying to educate my racist friends. I hope you are listening. @SW-User

@rhouse please read about Abdullah the Ethiopian rabbi before lecturing me, a POC about racism

@SW-User Kanye grifted people into thinking those were his actual views.

SW-User

@Zenyatta okay, leave all these celebs aside, no happy and/or successful person has a victim mentality

rhouse · 56-60, M

You don't care to learn about racism. You only care to defend it. @SW-User

Zenyatta · 26-30

@SW-User and of we’re going to talk about victim mentality check the people who decided to comment and not read the full post

SW-User

@rhouse Why would I defend racism when my own country was a British colony? I just choose not to play victim and be accountable for myself, and not expect handouts from others

rhouse · 56-60, M

maybe it is because of a lack of education. I don't know. Your being from a British Colony means nothing. You probably have no right to even be in this discussion if you are British, Indian, etc. @SW-User

SW-User

@rhouse many Indians were taken as slaves too, you’re trying to hard to defend something so dumb lolz

rhouse · 56-60, M

What I am defending is the right of individuals to be compensated for the wrongs that WE (apparently not you) have inflicted upon them. I am willing to take that side of the argument. @SW-User

SW-User

@rhouse okay, start with your bank account; open it up for those whose grandparents were wronged

rhouse · 56-60, M

In case you don't understand it, that is exactly what I am willing to do. I pay taxes (a lot) in America. I understand that the money comes from me (more than most by the way.) I am up for your challenge. @SW-User

Definitely more than you if you are British.
