U.S. owes black people reparations for a history of ‘racial terrorism,’ says U.N. panel
|
Quote:Based on the legal precedent, no it's not good enough. It takes a combination of the Congress and the President to pass and execute laws. Congress was dominated by Republicans whom would likely not care about this issue. I cannot blame Obama. In fact, the 2008 resolution was drafted by a Democrat...it would have never been brought up by modern day Republicans. Again, I ask what was the rationale by Reagan for using American tax dollars to pay reparations to the Japanese descendants? The internment camps only lasted 2 and half years, compared to 150+ of Slavery/Jim Crow/Institutionalized racism. You're arguing about two totally separate issues. The Japanese people sent to internment camps were U.S. citizens at the time (a time of war). During the slavery years, blacks were not considered citizens. There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't. |
