its stupid. slaves are long gone (not everywhere of course)
also slaves weren't owned by "white people" they were owned by "rich people" who were "white" in america.
theres "black" people holding slaves
theres "asians" people holding slaves!
every colour/ race has held slaves during the history of man.

in america theres just systemic problems. like how poor areas are often where black people appear is most likely because even when they got freed from slaves they were still poor, but paying reparations is dumb, fix the country itself so everyone can be happy.

i mean theres places in america that are a 100 times worse than the poorest most horrible place in third world countries!
and its even worse because you are supposed to live in the richest country!

you need to fix issues like led poisoning, gun reform, the amount of psychopaths running around, terrible government. peoples mentality. religious zealots.
black people who might have some ancestor who was a slave and giving them some petty cash is not helping.

@popmol that's like saying Germany shouldn't pay reparations for the Holocaust, because most people who survived death camps are now deceased due to age. It still affected the entire Jewish community.

@basilfawlty89 hitler found it easy to convince people who were bled dry for paying reparations in WW1.

also WW2 is less than 100 year old. theres still people alive who were there! its differnt.
also if another 100 years pass than i'd say yeah its fine to stop paying.

and who cares about the community. its tough and its almost impossible but once war is over its over. you build things back up.
and jews build back up so theres no more issue.

@popmol don't listen to liberals

There hasn't been racism against black people since the end of slavery. No slaves are still alive either

@Stargazer89 That's just plain incorrect 💀

@popmol that argument has been debunked. The "welfare queen" stereotype is actually a racist stereotype. Most people in Europe get assistance with national healthcare, education, etc. They don't end up not working or lazy.

popmol · 22-25, M

@basilfawlty89 its not racist as i never specified that "black people" would have the issue and no other "colour", i'd definitely become lazy!
1. we would give it to "black people". just give. healthcare is paid with taxes.
2. healthcare is only given if needed. you know in healthcare situation.
3. education also paid from taxes.
also both are not enough and we still pay. this also depends on the country.
also healthcare and education and other things don't involve all necessities!

but just giving people because they are "black".
what about those who came later? they won't.
so its only "black people" with slave ancestors?

also making others better than others won't fix something better from the past.
so you would need to decide which of the "black people" with ancestors in slavery thats are currently in trouble,
you'd have to find the ones in trouble currently that are only in trouble because of their situation due to the ancestors slavery.

but who'll decide that and the vague things.
instead of you know putting the money into an already broken country with broken systems?

i mean wasn't the black live matter leader buying a whole mansion with the money they gained? why!?
it was supposed to help "black people" not one "black person" get a mansion! with that money she could feed a whole town for a while!

so instead of wasting time on this question and fix problems in a broken place and system, fix the broken place!

@popmol People need to stop paying the Jews for what happened in WWII. Why are they worthy of getting paid for their inconvenience but no one else is?

popmol · 22-25, M

@Diotrephes because gays and the mentally feeble aren't really one big group, the war was less than a 100 years ago.
i think it might soon stop in modern times but once we reach 100 years seems fine!
