This race mixing thing doesn’t seem to be working out so good — maybe we should try something else?

Blacks today shouldn’t get anything for what happened to people a century ago. This is ridiculous.

I don’t know how anyone could think this is a plausible idea,you’d have to be a complete moron to agree with this idea. It would cause even more racial tension because I’m not sure how the other races will feel about not getting paid 350,000.

Hey Bob go to Africa and ask any black if they would volunteer to go and live in the USA. Then ask any of your black Americans if they would volunteer to go back to Africa. Kind of a black student exchange program for life.

i feel the death of George Floyd was tragic and disturbing. i also support peaceful protests and to exercise ones Constitutional rights. with that said… what is going on is no longer about George Floyd or protesting but an excuse to go out vandalize, steal, assault and murder. the victims of these rioters had nothing to do with killers of George Floyd and are innocent. the black community should be ashamed of themselves but that is asking too much because it would require morals and a conscious.

I am sure u and ur people are the pillar of morality. You are right it isn’t about just Floyd anymore. Its funny how the looting stopped once all the accused were arrested and the main cop charges were ammended. Pay attention, its simple

I see a lot of none blacks very opinionated when it comes to this topic. Reparations for the African American community is not so far-fetched people. When you look at the bigger picture a lot has been done to keep African Americans down like, the destruction of Black Wall Street, Police brutality, Racism Gentrification & More. We are The descendants of the people that were forced to be here and work for free remember that we didn’t ask to be here. Therefore I believe every African-American that has a Last name that comes from a slave owner should definitely get repatriation. A lot of African American homes where destroyed physically and mentally by systematic racism. If America can give Reparations to Native Americans, The Jewish why not the the most oppressed group of people in America. I look at my parents and grandparents and see how they had to start there life’s here in America it wasn’t easy but some how some way they made something out of nothing.. literally nothing. It’s amazing how slaves back then would take all the scraps all the parts of an animal and turn it into soul Food. We have been working with scraps for over 600 years but still make a way. It’s truly time for justice. If this bothers you, then you obviously don’t know what justice is.

They need to get rid of food stamps public housing and child support and just give us the money and let us make our own decisions we are going into a downfall because this probably would never happen

Child support
Child support wouldn’t even exist, if mfers would take care of their responsibilities. U are aware that part of child support payments go back to the state, right? If the mother didn’t have to go to the state to pay hospital bills, pediatrician etc. Shit the state can careless if a baby is taken care of, they just want they’re money back, really and truly.
I know u not in the belief, that if these same men or women that had to b put on child support in the first place, will just all of a sudden get a conscience and freely take care of their kids. These same folks who got to me found every damn month, will just start paying. Boi please. U crazy
I will say some judgments are out of line, and out of pocket. That all comes down to the morals of the person who was laid down with. But I do believe in the idea of a child support system..
U must have one of those baby momma’s in the low moral category. I’m sorry
As for fs, public housing they can’t do away with these programs. U talkin like only blk people use these services. No blk man they are not. Food stamps it’s more white women in use of this than any other race. Plus I wouldn’t want them to get rid of these services for other people

Yeah,yeah Obama giving lip service, once again. He could have gotten the reparation debate going while in office. He did not do a damn thing towards advancing the blk struggle. Yeah he got obama care going, which I didn’t need. People, I know that could use it said it was on some bullshit as well. This election will b the first election that I’m sitting out. I’ve voted in each election since turning 18, but I can’t do it. Neither man deserves my vote. I won’t just ignore Bidens past crime bill, that threw crack heads away, instead of helping them unlike the new junkie(opioid) offers of rehab etc. Gram of coke u gone for life. And Trump, ha. Do even need to say why he’s not getting my vote? I think not
Its like two shit choices either leave the Devil in office or vote another demon (in aware, of some other demons name but refuse to type of speak them) in to replace him…
