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.

Giving handouts to descendants hardly seems like a solution.
@MarkPaul Assuming reparation means handout just like right wingers. Shocking.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow This from the guy who praises Putin for stealing the Russian treasury blind.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I freed all my slaves when I retired 15 years ago, no reparations coming from me
@MarkPaul Nope. That is your own Russiagate fantasy.
@sunsporter1649 Look, the butthurt right wing old white guy stereotype.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Oh... right. You think Putin is a man of the people.
@MarkPaul I don't care about Putin at all. That is your personal man crush.

@MarkPaul @MartinTheFirst what do you mean?

@MarkPaul There are multiple ways of implementing reparations but the fact that the majority of the comments went straight to “handouts” is not surprising. Tired and out dated argument. Also whites have been getting government handouts that excluded black people for the last 100 years, the economic disparity is so wide that it would take over 200 years for black people to catch up economically.
@Zenyatta Mark is diet Republican anyway. So no surprises.

@Zenyatta This isn't a black/white issue. Why are you trying to turn it into that by immediately going there? Everyone, regardless of their skin colour, was negatively impacted by slavery whether they admitted (or admit) it or not. But, shoving money to make the problem go away or make it seem less objectionable is not going to really solve anything. Try thinking a bit instead of running for the money like a crazed game show contestant.
@MarkPaul Wow. Trying to seriously argue slavery was not about race. You really are a misguided right winger. Hello Dave Rubin 2.0
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow WOW! Thinking an argument against cash for reparations is arguing slavery is not about race is quite a mindless stretch even for you and your brainless banter. You continue to stretch yourself to new lows.
@MarkPaul Dude. Read your own post.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Dummy, you read it.
@MarkPaul I did. Clearly you don't even understand your own writing.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Clearly English is not your primary language, reading comprehension is not in your wheelhouse, and productively arguing a point is beyond your mental capacity. Now acting with childish behaviour is where you stand head and shoulders above all others... well except for Baby-trump. But, keep working at it and you may be able to rise above him as well.
@MarkPaul Lol. You sound like Trump claiming they didn't say something when you are on video saying it. And just like a right winger you don't even have the courage to admit what you are.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow LMAO. This from the guy who emulates Baby-trump while trying to pretend he's enamored by Putin while denying it with a level of reading comprehension on the magnitude of Baby-trump while claiming he "reads a lot." You are one messed up dude.
@MarkPaul reverting back to your MSNBC fantasies again?
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Stuck in your Putin dreams and Baby-trump fantasies.
@MarkPaul Okay Dave Rubin.
