California about to be the first state to administer reparations!s

[The Architect Of Fate]

It doesn't have to be paid all at once, we'll accept a payment plan...

Yeah a plan to bankrupt a whole nation for no real long term benefit

[Anomalocaris]

And, just for the record, $20 trillion is almost the entire GDP of America. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you weren't aware of that or the implications, because if you were, what you're basically asking for is a revanchist system where the balance of power is reversed and we basically have even worse inequality than we do now (except with black people not being the one suffering this time.)

Seriously, it is not up to you.

I don' t know about anyone else - but me and Jackalope are exempt from the reparations fuck fest.


Lithuania abolished slavery in 1588 - and there was never a history of Africans enslaved by Lithuanians. The ones they had were mostly Estonian and a few Germanic types.

So you ain't getting a motherfucking nickle out of me....

Plus I'm pretty sure if they live in America it applies to them by defualt

[Thumpalumpacus]

I don't often agree with you, but I think you hit it on the head here.

Hey Thump! Haven't seen you in a while.

Took some time off from here. Hope all's well with you.

So you are saying that I am only culpable by virtue of my skin colour and not because of any action on my part or my ancestor's part?

Gee... Isn' t that just racist as hell?

Or, maybe, he's noticing that you don't actually get to pick and choose what taxes you pay, taxes that will fund any such scheme, no matter how poorly conceived it may be.

I appreciate that this was probably a tough call for you, deciding whether you wanted to bitch about taxation or anti white racism. I'd have gone for the trifecta myself, and added guns. ala - They'll get their racist reperations money out of my cold dead hands.

I have a suggestion. Instead of cash payments or the like, reparations could take the form of indentured servitude. Every Black American who can establish that they are the descendant of an enslaved person would be paired with a White American who can be determined to be descended from a slave owner or slave trader or a lawmaker (at any level) who fought against emancipation - in short, anyone who supported or directly benefited from slavery.

For a period of time to be determined (I'm thinking two years), the White person would be required to work for the Black person - clean their house, tend their garden, raise their children - for no pay beyond room and board. The Black person would be able to punish the White person for not performing these duties satisfactorily. The form and frequency of the punishment would be solely at the discretion of Black person. During the period in question, the White person would not be able to vote, attend school, marry without permission, and could be assigned to another Black person on a whim. White families would not necessarily be paired with Black families as a group.

Maybe two years of indentured servitude would shut up some of these waterheads who keep claiming that slavery 'wasn't that bad'.

Increase it to anybody who has ever flown the stars and bars and you might have the beginnings of an idea. Also make the term at least five years and force the person to hand over any pay or income from capital they may own for the duration. Let them see what working for nothing was really about.

I'm already a slave, to the elderly.

By the way, this slavery discussion brings to mind a story about work where a black aide refused to help a resident because the woman had a cotton flower in her room.

My guess is that there was a lot more going on there but vested interests portrayed it as being about only the flower.

Lying pigeonholer.


Show an example of me bitching about taxation or anti white racism.....

Oh... You forgot to call me a anti- abortion Trump-monkey....

You' re slipping asshole...
