That's wonderful. That's how it should be. You do nothing for black people, don't expect us to turn out like a bunch of mindless slaves. Black people need to be coordinated and make demands. There was a candidate out there who mentioned she was for reparations, even though it wasn't high on her priority list and it wasn't a campaign issue. Yet she was for it, and a lot of things that would have helped black people in general. (Like student loan debt relief) All of our votes should have went to her. In future elections, that is where our votes need to go. If democrats and crap politicians like Obama want our votes in the future, you better have a black agenda on your list of priorities.
How does helping black people sound racist? This country has already helped white families for hundreds of years, particularly during the early 1900s-1970s. That's why they now have a median net worth of over 100k. It's our turn now, especially because this country has put black people in a hole. Why is that racist? It's justice.

By demanding that White people hand over their money to you ?

I think not.
I'm not asking anyone to hand their money over. I'm asking for government policy directed at lifting black people up specifically. Now if we ever got reparations, that will also be government resources and spending.

Among all the races living in the US are Blacks that helpless ?

The US have put us in a hole with slavery. It put us in a bigger hole with Jim Crow. It's only right the US government spends it's resources to get us out. The government didn't put other groups in the same holes. The government even gave payments to other groups. It's our turn.

It is not your turn for anything. Get out there and work for it like other groups. The government owes you nothing.

We've worked over 200 years producing hundreds of billions, if not trillions of dollars of resources, for free. Then we worked another 100 years while white mobs burned down our most productive cities and towns ever. So over 300 years of working, and nothing to show for it because our rewards were taken away, yet you say work some more? Other groups didn't work for what they got, the government made it possible for them to gain and move up. For black people, it was the direct opposite. It is our turn to gain, and the government is responsible for helping us. We are certainly owed many things by the government.

Sorry to burst your bubble. The government owes you nothing.
