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.

Red lining is a term I haven't heard of before and it is a very shady practice from what I looked up. It does make me wonder if poverty is entirely man made.

@SatanBurger money is entirely man made, so I don't know how the distinction between poverty and wealth isn't. There are very much people out there that don't believe life is worth living unless everyone is divided into winners and losers.

@ViciDraco That's strange lol, we all die regardless if we're winners or losers. Death always gets the last laugh.

@ViciDraco this. Money is a social construct. It's literary just a monetary value created as a placeholder for trade of goods and services.

@basilfawlty89 it's so strange that we've managed to convert a tool meant to serve humans into a power that humans now serve. We got everything so backwards with people working for the economy rather than the economy working for people.
