you in support of reparation payments?

seems to me just people wanting handouts and using history as a form to get it.
I think its the stupidest thing.
Just watched a Piers Morgan debate or screaming match if you wanna call it that where they were Arguing about the king of Britain having to apologize for slavery and the black women arguing for it could not answer a single question and would just rant on about nonsense and eventually when finally asked what she wants, she said reparations.
So Pierce went on to ask if Roman and Viking ancestors should have to pay him reparations also and she went on about not talking about slavery, so it confused me what the hell she wanted reparations for haha..
anyway its dumb, go get a job and stop trying to get handouts wherever you can as far as i am concerned.

thoughts?

Yes.

@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart why?

TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart · 22-25, F

@Torsten it’s only fair.

Torsten · 36-40, M

@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart how so?

TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart · 22-25, F

@Torsten Black Americans need some type of closure for what their ancestors went through. If native Americans get “handouts” for what whites did to their ancestors, Black Americans should too.

Torsten · 36-40, M

@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart and some cash would bring closure to you?

TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart · 22-25, F

@Torsten not for me, My people weren’t part of the American slave trade

Torsten · 36-40, M

@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart ok so you think cash will bring closure to those whose ancestors went through some shit that they themselves did not experience in the slightest? certainly doesnt seem like a big issue if some cash could make people forget about it

TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart · 22-25, F

@Torsten well yeah. and it dosent matter if black Americans today didn’t experience slavery. they are the descendants of the ancestors who did. And so it should get passed down to them. And do you think having reservations made the Native Americans forget about the genocide? No. It’s still talked about in their communities. There’s literally museums and books to never forget about what happened to their people so how will reparations make Black people forget about slavery?

Torsten · 36-40, M

@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart so basically some cash wont change anything and again people just wanting handouts for something they themselves had no part in? got it

TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart · 22-25, F

@Torsten Well since they are the descendants of people that were enslaved, they deserve reparations. What is the issue? Why do you care if somebody thinks a group of people deserve reparations? You call it handouts which it isn’t because it’s owed, but even with that, how is getting handouts a bad thing in your opinion?

Torsten · 36-40, M

@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart the issue is everyone could make a case for reparations than due to the past. It makes no sense and changes absolutely nothing. I call it handouts yes, because those who feel they are owed it did not go through any of what they want the money for.
Handouts like this is bad. Where does the money come from? will tax go up due to it? who will determine who is owed it?

TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart · 22-25, F

@Torsten I mean if somebody wants to demand for reparations they can do it. Nobody is stopping anybody. It won’t change anything but at least it shows some type of sympathy. How do you feel about all the incentives Native Americans get? Are you mad about them having reservations neither whites; Black, Asians or Hispanics can live on? Why don’t you make a fuss about that one? Why can’t whites live on reservations since you’re feeling so left out

And I think if you can trace your dna back to families who owned slaves, you must be taxed. It’s only fair.

Torsten · 36-40, M

@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart feeling left out of random things you are mentioning? really grasping at straws here arnt you.
Quit trying to change the subject. This is about reparations and nothing else. Native Americans are very well entitled to their own spaces. I certainly dont care or feel left out like you claimed.

haha so now people should be taxed more due to things they played no part in or were even alive for? surely, you're not as dumb as you're making yourself out to be

TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart · 22-25, F

@Torsten it’s the same situation you cry about. If Black people were given their own reservations through reparations, don’t act like you wouldn’t have a problem because you would.

Yes

Torsten · 36-40, M

@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart through reparations i sure would. If they had their own reservations though that did not come from that, i again could not care any less

TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart · 22-25, F

@Torsten so you don’t think native Americans getting government funding for simply being native Americans isn’t a form of reparation?

Torsten · 36-40, M

@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart never said i was cool with anyone getting government funding just due to their race

TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart · 22-25, F

@Torsten so you think people get reparations because of race and not because it’s owed to them?
