The entertaining part will be in "infighting demographics" of what percentage decentant you are to qualify for the Reparations Welfare.

I read this garbage on X each and every day. I have never in my life seen such crap. All black, but this group is more black, this one is less deserving.
One of the newer things is the FBA. They really think this group is the most important. And then of course, the Native American black tribes that deserve even more money than the rest.

Slavery in the territory that became the United States dates back to 1526 are they going all the way back? If so I want my share My 9th G. grandfather came here in 1620 If not mabry sue them for being racist because most of them were white

it would likely be tied to some arbitrary progressive scale, and get very complicated when your watered down slave lineage crosses with another several generations after emancipation.

It would be fun if they made a lottery out of it. Like a reparations scratch off game.

No, slavery only lasted 89 in the US. All numbers and names should be drawn from that small number. Granted, none should be considered, but why would we be on the hook for something that happened in another Empire?

Grok gets it!

I honestly wouldn't be upset with a lottery style reparations program as long as it was self funded through voluntary participation. Anyone that thinks reparations are justified can contribute as much of their own money as they want, and only those verified eligible can play. It's not really any different than providing a monetary gift to someone you feel bad for.

This is the stupid shit that I cannot wrap my head around. Slavery is all that is on their minds.

Just saying....

The United States is generally about 5 to 8 generations removed from the end of legal slavery in 1865

What I'm getting at is one is just as foolish as the other I understand what you are saying but it was the territory that built and became the United States same people same land just a different day and way of government, if you were George Washington's slave in 1775 you were still his slave in 1776 no change for the slave, same people same owners same land same duty nothing changed for them.

Correct, in 1775, you were a slave in the British empire. 1776, you were a slave owned in the US of A.

And today, we are all still slaves owned by the government, even though most can't recognize it.

This is not a matter of inherited criminal liability. It's a question of unresolved institutional liability and intergenerational economic consequence.

Reparations arguments generally are not saying “you are guilty for what your ancestors did.” They are saying that current U.S. society is historically continuous with systems that produced lineage-specific intergenerational effects, and that those effects justify lineage-conscious remedies.

Whether someone’s ancestors fought for the Union is morally relevant historically, but doesn't erase the existence of the underlying institutional systems or their downstream consequences.

But, reparations ideology says that people who's ancestors never had slaves, but died freeing them owe money to people who's ancestors never were slaves.

None of these schemes require any proof of any connection to slavery. Every one of them would take money from people who moved here after WWII and give it to people who snuck in illegally 5 years ago.

There were more white slaves in North Africa than there were black slaves in the US. So you could have people who's ancestors *were* slaves being forced to pay reparations to people who's ancestors were their slavers.

The entire thing is perverse.

I think that won the internet for today.

If I was a forum owner, I'd free this thread from further replies.
