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?

I think with understanding of generational trauma and wealth disparity in direct relation to history it's very plausible.

Reparations should likely be made in the forms of social investment in assets such as schooling, community work and centres, systemic financial support (increasing the welfare system or wages), and improving the worst affected areas of said history to increase the chances of those who live there to increase generational wealth for their children and improve quality of life overall.

There's many many credible cited papers and thematic analysis on the subject, and the more you understand social psychology and history the more blatant the reality becomes. We're shaped very much by our environment.
