There's plenty of land near Death Valley, start dividing it up. As for the mule/ass, tell them to pick up Rosie O'Donnell and Michael Moore on the way.

That is not true.

#1 Affirmative Action explicitly helps black people over Asians and whites. Affirmative Action policies give bonus points based on race. Bonus points for being black, no bonus points for being white or Asian.

affirmative action
noun : an active effort to improve the employment or educational opportunities of members of minority groups and women sought to achieve a multicultural staff through affirmative action; also : a similar effort to promote the rights or progress of other disadvantaged persons
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dict...ative%20action

If you are talking about "legacy" admissions for those whose parents write a big check or that have elite influence that is not affirmative action (words have meaning), works for all races (like the Obama's), and constitutes a significantly smaller portion of the college community. The school sees it as a way to raise money and influence, i.e. sustain their budget. Even with legacy kids you can see there are significant differences between the average gpa, SAT, ACT scores of kids by race as the numbers are low. Even in college the differences in academic success continues...suggesting there isn't some massive amount white student being admitted in that can't academically cut it.



#2 Proportionally welfare helps blacks more than whites.

39.8% of people on welfare are white.

38.8% of people on welfare are black.

White people are about ~64% of the population and blacks are about ~14% of the population. Mathematically, blacks are almost 5 times more likely to be on welfare.

You simply don't understand basic stats or the definition of primarily if you think that welfare "primarily helps white people."




Maybe we shouldn't count affirmative action and welfare as reparations, but they don't benefit white people more...

Like they say "want in one hand and s**t in the other and see which one gets filled." Take some of the money you get from people that listen to your Crap.... er rap and go buy some land.

Not going to happen... IDK if you noticed but black people make up a majority of the people in South Africa, which is in, you know, Africa. The US is still majority white and even after whites no longer constitute a total majority they will be the largest ethnic group for many years to come; the majority isn't going to give up that much to the minority.

By the time that white people are an actual minority, America will be so mixed to the point that most people will be of partial white ancestry, and also, how do you think that the Hispanic and Asian population will feel about black people being given free land?

LOL Affirmative Action "primarily" helps white women....I know what primarily mean. Last I heard white women were white.

On "welfare" what programs are you speaking of? Social Security is the largest welfare program in the country. Black people are actually underrepresented on Social Security (only about 9% of SSI recipients are black).

Quit trying to be smart and read the rest of what I wrote. I am very aware of what Affirmative Action is and in the workplace AND in educational facilities, it primarily benefits white women - who are white so white people benefit the most from it.

Welfare includes all public social welfare programs including Social Security -contrary to what you want to admit, all Americans pay into all social welfare programs. White people overwhelmingly benefit from SS and the most money period is spent on whites on welfare.

Welfare includes all social welfare programs in this country as noted above. The most expensive of them are Medicare and SS of which blacks are underrepresented.

I know you and others like to act like white people aren't on SS, SSDI, Medicare and Medicaid in large numbers, but you are. People who like to complain about "welfare" use of black people always leave off the welfare programs that benefit whites the most.

Do you realize that the working man pays into that (taxes)?

There is also "La Raza" and their whole claims about taking land back. So Latinos have been making claims for decades as well, and who is to say once they become the dominant group that they would enact policies to take back land? I mean, they've been talking about it for forever.



I've seen enough lies from the American government over the years and enough of the public shift to further and further leftist politics that I am not stupid enough to not think this stuff won't happen.

Do you realize that over 90% of black people work and also pay payroll taxes - including FICA which funds SS that we don't use as high as whites.

All Americans who work pay taxes - they may not pay federal income tax, but they pay FICA, Social Security, and Medicare and as I noted - black people are under-represented on Social Security in particular which is one of the most expensive welfare programs in our country.

Again, you all like to overlook the welfare white people use like Social Security - all the farm subsidies and all the tax credits of large corporations.

You go ahead and keep blaming black people for your problems though lol

One is naive if they don't believe groups such as BlackLivesMatters want to in 'Killer Mike' own words "I want the entire cup"

But the black demographic in America is stagnant. It isn't exploding in numbers like the Mexican/Hispanic demographic. 'People of color' might be united (to an extent but hugely overblown by mass media and the Democratic party) against the evil majority [White] demographic but this will steadily decrease as the majority White demographic steadily decreases. You would also have to be naive if you think Mexicans/Latinas will continue (the ones that actually do) backing Blacks. Asians and Jews don't and Mexicans/Latinas that create roots in America tend to for example vote Republican. Not to mention the strong religious foundation in the Mexican/Latino community is heavily at odds with the Black community.

So long story short: this movement or whatever you want to call it is reaching it's apex. The tipping point will be in the next 25 years when Whites are no longer the majority demographic. Then you will see 'People of color' split into competing groups. It is natural and it is better for America. If you gave blacks reparations (how do you even prove who is black when the concept of race is being increasingly rejected) then you might as well give California back to Mexico.
