Whether if you agree or not black Americans are owed reparations

@ProfessorPlum77 This is a tired and stale point that holds no water. You have no leg to stand on

@AshaKenyatta I vehemently disagree! It is a very valid point. My ancestors were not here. Sorry.

@ProfessorPlum77 You’re point is not valid and irrelevant to the post. Tell me where in this post did it say that whites directly owe black people money? No where this post. This addressed to the oppressive government that allowed and legalized atrocities mentioned above. So no your argument has no leg to stand on

@ProfessorPlum77 Redlining -legalized housing segregation purposely decreasing property value in predominantly black neighborhoods inturn underfunding school districts
Excluding black people from the GI bill.
Cointelpro- disrupting civil rights movements and targeting leaders since the 50s.
I have much more examples and best believe I can go into great detail in fact I already have a post on this Oppressive Government

@AshaKenyatta I don't believe blacks are prohibited GI bill benefits, today.
Where I live, students can go to any public school as long as there is room. Tbe one excepton being an elementery school due to a Federal order.

@ProfessorPlum77 Let me clarify. There was time period when black people were excluded from the same benefits whites were. When I bring up the GI bill meant after WW2, that was when we were excluded from benefits. And while schools are very much integrated in this age redlining is still very much a thing and here are actual statistics on it

In my state of Mississippi there are counties where schools are still segregated. Covington county for example. Mt Olive and Collins receive far less funding than their Seminary counterparts...for the obvious reasons.

You forget American people pay taxes so it’s their money reparations come from. @AshaKenyatta

@ProfessorPlum77 So we’ll have to dig up some dead legislators and demand they pay reparations.

@Spoiledbrat Bold of you to assume that thought hasn’t crossed my mind, and honestly I couldn’t care less. I’d be paying this too and if it’s to fix this incredibly large disparity I’d happily redistribute my wealth. I’m already having my family set up financial literacy programs for when the time comes for true economic mobility in multiple communities in our surrounding area.
