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.

No, none of this affected them personally so they don't need anything for that. They do however deserve reparation for and fixing of the racism that still happens today.

@NerdyPotato you unironically contradicted yourself in this

@Zenyatta Well, of course the current racism is a consequence of what happened in the past. But the past can't be fixed, the future can be. So let's focus on the issues at hand rather than compensating for the past and pretending that gets it over with.

@NerdyPotato I agree/disagree but that’s neither here nor there. To say that none of my points don’t personally affect anyone, that’s pretty bad take considering redlining does indeed affect not just black people but literally everybody in the country.

@JAYS21 Your arguments have always lack depth and nuance. You bring absolutely nothing of value other than raw hatred that fuel posts like these.
