There was slavery about seven generations back. Liberals and the Media can't get enough of the topic, and they are joined by skinheads and other nut groups calling for white supremacy. I don't think Canada ever had slavery. Most of the minorities there are immigrants.

I mean what if I started a thread highlighting the fact that almost all the serial killers in American history have been white?
Put a bait-car in a Black neighborhood and the car thieves turn out to be Black? Shocker.

They should put a bait-car on a road leading to a meth-blighted trailer park. Suddenly, car thieves are White!

As far as serial killers, there are probably a few in the Black community, but up until very recently, sadly, when Black people go missing, they just go missing. Investigations are cursory. No one is looking for the patterns of a serial killer. Law enforcement and the Justice system are the last vestige of a widespread pattern of racism in our country.

Hopefully that is changing.

Yet the Dixiecrats were the politicians that voted against the Civil Rights bill, and yet majority of them remained Democrat. As for southern states that started voting Republican, maybe just maybe it has to do with states rights and not racism, I know it is a concept you don't want to even begin to acknowledge because well, all you care about is wanting to believe everyone is racist.

That's not going to happen, and shame on democrats for giving black people hope.

There's 50 million African Americans, which is 14% of America. There is no reparation in the world that would satisfy both blacks and whites.

Major news outlets are not even reporting it, considering how silly it is.

Nice. There are so many things like this that were once considered radical fringe ideas but have become mainstream now. Somebody should collect them into one thread...

The idea of reparations is a joke in the black community... I don't know anybody holding their breath for that. Heck if you go on the street and ask the average black youth if they believe that whites should pay reparations to blacks they'll have no idea what you are talking about. It seems to be an obsession of racist whites suffering from the guilt of slavery more than anything else. How can you say that blacks won't get over slavery when you constantly bring this non-issue up?

CNN literally says 3 out of 4 blacks want reparations.

Then liberals act dumbfounded over the concept of thinking most blacks want reparations.

You might want to read up on Barry Goldwater. He did vote against the civil rights act because he was a states rights advocate, just like the founding fathers intended. He thought any retailer who discriminated due to race was dumb.

He integrated the Senate cafeteria. He integrated the store as soon as it was his. He was a member of the NAACP for years. He voted for other Civil Rights bills. He said one need not be straight to be in the military one just needed to be able to shoot straight.

The tax payer pays about $115 Billion a year in food stamps and section 8 housing.
Are you saying this is a joke and blacks actually won’t mind and won’t care if the switch is turned off on them for this welfare program?

By the way, did you notice the racial demographics in the section 8 housing communities?

If reparations are paid then any government programs designed to give preferential treatment or outcome need to end immediately. There would no longer be a need to provide affirmative action in the current sense (as opposed to the original sense under Kennedy and Johnson.)

SNAP and Section 8 are income-based so that “switch” wouldn’t get turned off.
