They did. They’re all pushing daisies now.
Who owes reparations?
- Thread starter Diogenes
- Start date
I guess they lied. No modern Democrats owe anything.
No one does. The whole talk of reparations is dumb.
Well I have to agree.
Does that make you sad? Angry? Depressed?
Very angry. I am owed.
What? So, you don't know? You mean you are blathering on a topic you have no understanding of because you want to seem "progressive"? Shocker there.
Nobody said adoption was slavery, that's your own stupidity. The process "would not apply"? So he owes then for his white half?
You've done nothing. You assume things and don't answer direct questions.
I am asking questions, you are babbling, there is a difference. I seek information you spend time pretending to answer by creating strawmen and wasting our time. (as the chronology of the posts clearly shows
)...See my post with the questions and answer them. Why do you think someone who does not live here has any right to try to tell Americans anything about this topic?
Did you know that the Brits not only didn't pay any reparations to former slaves and their descendants, but instead borrowed over $20M in 1833 (way more than that if you adjust for inflation) to compensate former slave owners for their loss of "property" when they abolished the slave trade?
As someone that lives in former British controlled territory, and an ex-pat. Why are you not focused on the government that raised you instead of trying to fix America when you don't even know the history?
The idea of reparations is extremely complex, my questions barely dent the complexity of the situation. I still want to know why an ex-pat Brit thinks he has any right or capacity to pretend to understand it. He's clearly a moron, has been all his life... I mean, "adoption isn't slavery"... simplifying idiocy.
Natives were often specifically adopted to white families in order to kill their culture, that he doesn't understand this but still thinks that Native Americans still are "owed" reparations just underlines his total lack of understanding of the complexities involved.
He's welcome to pay reparations out of his own pocket at any time.

1. And Damo swears he's not of the maga/alt-right mindset. Yet he uses the same moronic debate tactics.What? So, you don't know? You mean you are blathering on a topic you have no understanding of because you want to seem "progressive"? Shocker there.

Property values fluctuate yearly, gumby. As does the price of livestock. Both vary from state to state. Last time I read awhole back, the estimate was around $40k to $100k total. So the process I laid out is valid, as I said "apply current equivalent price". So much for your "got'cha" moment.
2. First, you're a liar as the word "adopt" clearly appears in your previous drivel in post #188. And since you're either ethnically or racially identified by either or both census forms and birth certificates, your doubling down on your straw grasping endeavor fails, further corrected in my explanation to you about Obama's father's origin.
3. Translation: Damo can't logically or factually fault my dismantling of his blather, so he just pulls the equivalent of the Maga default of yelling "fake news".
4. Your projection and denial is pitiful. See #1.
5. Pay attention gumby. From the OP to present, all I've discussed is reparations for black Americans decended from the American slavery era. That's what this thread is about .... NOT England or any where else. Got that gumby? You can pivot, revise or whatever .. but the chronology of the post demonstrates your failure to fault my assertions, let alone my examples. But you and I both know you'll eat shit and call it ice cream before admitting such. Carry on.
You have discussed nothing. You have attempted to disparage me for bringing up the complexities of this topic through questions, have been incapable of answering them (as show by the 'chronology of the posts'). You attempt deflection even here, still cannot discuss the topic, and continue to display a complete ignorance of the nuances and the complex history involved. You brought up Native Americans and how they were owed reparations, but didn't understand that there even were complexities to that topic involved...1.

You have no capacity to understand the complexities of the situation, nor do you have any skin in the game. Go back to your own government, get them to pay reparations for the slave trade.

Yep, right on cue. Typical maga mook tactics of lies, denial, projection, revisionist clap trap, mocking bird tactics and self aggrandizing blather.
As the chronology of the posts clearly shows, YOU fabricated all types of scenarios to try and discredit my proposed solution as well as the very idea of reparations for black Americans. I took you to task, and in frustration of failure you just spew generalized sour grapes.
You're done. Now run-a-long sputtering the SOS like the rest of your maga/alt-right minded brethren. Catch you later.
Typical citizen of another nation, always trying to tell their betters what to do when they have yet to get their own government to do it...
Hypocrite. Go deal with your own guilt, stop trying to make others pay for it.

POST #36 really triggers our resident maga/alt-right reprehensibles. Hell, they're so bent out of shape that one of them accused me of not being a native born American. Next they'll be claiming I'm not black.

Buzzword fallacy. Go learn what 'reality' means.
They are when you blame your problems on someone else.
