That’s why I hope Biden does not send US troops to Haiti for this very reason.
If it’s going well then “we Haitians did it and we want to take ALL the credits”
But if it turns to **** then “it’s the Americans and whiteys fault for turning our country into ****”
Bingo. You just figured out black nations.
When things go right: “we did it on our own merit.”
When things go wrong: “it’s whiteys fault, they didn’t give us enough handouts after we gained independence.”
People on this very thread are even defending the failed countries like Haiti and countries inside Africa, ignoring the billions in aid, manpower, and resources the western world has already given them.
Viet Nam is an awesome success story and has reason to be proud.
Black-led countries (ex: Haiti/sub-Saharan Africa) are moving in the opposite direction and slipping further into the abyss.
How long until someone "decides" that we owe all of them reparations as well?
You mean subsaharan nations like the ones that still were paying "reparations" TO france up until a few years ago. Gee I wonder why those African nations that were forced to pay their colonizers are doing poorly.
my goodness the lack on basic knowledge and logic around here is astonishing. Everytime yall try to make some argument against black people or black countries there's a gigantic glaring piece of history you're ignorant too.
The Founder of BET is Black and is a billionaire.
He wants $14 trillion and an apology from the government.

“Reparations would require the entire country to … admit that the result of slavery has been 200 years of systemic racism and for that reason Black folks have been denied $13-15 trillion of wealth and therefore we as a country now must atone by paying Black people of all stripes —the rich ones, the poor ones, and the middle—out of our pocket,” Johnson says.
Or maybe he can show what he's done with his billions to prop up less fortunate, regular black folks. Not the entertainmen industry sharing all the 'privilege' with him.
you make zero sense "brother". Without black slaves America would be broke and ghetto.
We've all heard these bombastic claims before. Slaves built America! Slaves built the White House!
Saying it doesn't make it so, and being the grunt labor does not make one "the builder".
If you had been born in Africa or Haiti, you would now be trying to escape to Europe or America. Who wouldn't?
Pretending slavery had some pivotal role in the development of America is wishful thinking. If slaves had not existed, Mexicans or perhaps, Irish laborers would have arrived in larger numbers.
BTW: Africa still has plenty of black slaves and is "broke and ghetto" to this day.
saying that much of the money would be blown is stereotyping. Nobody would say this about any other group.
And yes, people's real fear is black people no longer being america's punching bag. Sure some people would spend their money on luxury items, but people are definitely afraid that they would no longer be able to keep black people in check with the threat of poverty. People are definitely afraid more black people becoming business owners types and no longer answering to a "higher power". We know alot of black people don't even speak on racial issues for fear of doxing. That's the real fear. These silly "they would blow the money" excuses are transparent.
Funniest thing you said in this thread.
The democrats/Harris/Biden think black Americans are too incompetence to do a simple thing like to get a friggin ID to vote. Yes, a friggin ID. Yet, you are dreaming that black Americans becoming business owners?
where in particular would the 14 trillion be coming from?
would there be a tax increase?
Children and grand children of white/Asian/Hispanic/Middle Eastern-Americans will pay for it, duh
