Should Kamala pay reparations to Jamaica?

[Fogdog]

No she's being rediculous.

Just read her statement and tell me what's ridiculous about it:

HARRIS: I think reparations - yeah. I think that the word, the term reparations, it means different things to different people. But what I mean by it is that we need to study the effects of generations of discrimination and institutional racism and determine what can be done, in terms of intervention, to correct course.

 

[growsince79]

Where did you learn about this issue?

I watched the debate

 

[hanimmal]

I watched the debate

And then you would remember that the majority on the stage backed the bill to actually study these issues of how impacted and to best help the black communities to get repaired from the decades of abusive restrictions aimed to keep them in segregated areas that has led to the blight we have currently in too many of our major cities.

There is no reason to let the propaganda scare you about this, getting 100% of our population out of non toxic environments and operating to the full of their capacity.

I think that the very idea of reparations is ridiculous. I also think that institutionalized racism is a myth.

Everyone born in America, has the exact same opportunity to succeed. Some peoples paths may be more difficult than others, some peoples paths are paved in gold. No one OWES you anything. You either succeed, or you don't. Success is a personal choice. Just look at Hollywood. Tell me that Oprah let her surroundings keep her from fame and wealth.....Exactly.....it's a false narrative being used to manipulate people in the most basic form. Entitlement. Does that mean that the horrible things that happen to people don't matter, absolutely not. All of us are human, important and worthy of safety and love.

Why should someone be responsible to repay something they had nothing to do with. I for one refuse to take on anyone else's sins....I have enough of my own. Do I say that to belittle the atrocity of slavery? Heck no. It was horrible, reprehensible and should never have happened.

The longer people keep "studying" it, and applying less than realistic solutions to the problem (ie. behave yourself, treat people how you'd like to be treated, just be a good human....) the more this "systematic racism" is being taught.

You heard me, TAUGHT.

I've not met one child that has any opinion on skin color or race. NOT ONE. The only things that they know are what they parrot from their parents, ie. "make sure you don't interact with the police, you might get shot because you're black....we have different rules..." or "be vigilant, the police kill black people just because they're black....". In some cases, they're told "police officers are a great help to the community, respect them....", it's all in the household. The kids aren't born with those ideas or convictions, they're LEARNED BEHAVIOR.

Guess where they learn it from?

Convince me I'm wrong.

All ludicrous - and the real winners in this are the elected officials that are furthering their OWN cause, at ALL of the AMERICAN peoples expense.

I think that the very idea of reparations is ridiculous.

Oh look who is back, how has it been going.

I also think that institutionalized racism is a myth.

Shocker.

Everyone born in America, has the exact same opportunity to succeed.

I wasn't given almost a trillion dollars from my dad.

So a entertainer is your example of how anyone has the same opportunity. Delusional.

Who says you have to pay anything other than your taxes? You selling the whole 'they are taking from me' to rebuild crumbling schools and have enough voting booths to get their votes recorded in a suburban white amount of time in a inner city should be the norm and not get trolled by people like yourself.

The longer people keep "studying" it, and applying less than realistic solutions to the problem (ie. behave yourself, treat people how you'd like to be treated, just be a good human....) the more this "systematic racism" is being taught.

When do you think it has actually been substantially studied? You really think that hundreds of years of keeping minorities from being able to do things like move into a nice suburban house to be closer to the work that left the cities as soon as minorities started to move into them is going to be overcome in a couple decades?

You heard me, TAUGHT.

You mean like in schools with black mold because the school system can't get the funding for new buildings that don't make their kids sick?

I've not met one child that has any opinion on skin color or race. NOT ONE. The only things that they know are what they parrot from their parents, ie. "make sure you don't interact with the police, you might get shot because you're black....we have different rules..." or "be vigilant, the police kill black people just because they're black....". In some cases, they're told "police officers are a great help to the community, respect them....", it's all in the household. The kids aren't born with those ideas or convictions, they're LEARNED BEHAVIOR.

And white men taught their kids to be afraid of black people for a very long time. And those kids grow up to become white supremacists and they went and came up with a plan to infiltrate the police forces around our country.

Convince me I'm wrong.

About more than everything you are wrong about above?

 

[growsince79]

Racist exist but most people are not racist. My family reunions have good people black, white, Latino, Native and everything in-between. All we need now is for someone to marry Asian.
I honestly don't know anyone I would consider racist.

Yeah you need to be in all white groups for that generally. Maybe one minority to have the 'I'm not racits, but' racist 'joking' flow.

no they don't, methigan.

 

[radiant Rudy]

My ancestors were slaves on one side and slaveowners on the other. My ancestors fought for the north and south. Do I get free money or do I pay. The whole issue is rediculous.

Why the hate. Can't we all just get along.

Are you thinking that shitting yourself in the thread will facilitate congeniality?

No she's being rediculous.

Everyone born in America has the same opportunity.

Like i said, some have an easy go, others dont.

No one owes anyone anything.

Thats what makes America the land of opportunity - not the land of "everyone gets a trophy".

Oh, white people taught their white kids that? Really?

You know how many black people teach their black kids that just because they're BLACK that they're entitled to "special treatment?"

That is the very definition of Racism. Preferential treatment based on "X" qualification. Just ask Kamala, only reason she's on the ticket is she's BLACK.

Lol, insane.

But hey, no worries

Hey, the truth hurts, just my 2 cents.
