U.S. owes black people reparations for a history of ‘racial terrorism,’ says U.N. panel


Quote:So what exactly is your goal with this thread?  An apology?  Money?  What?

 

The topic of this thread is reparations being paid out to blacks.  Please give me a good argument as to why that should happen.

 

The color of your skin holds you down?  Tell that to the current sitting President.

 

People living and growing up poor and in poor neighborhoods?  Tell that to Herman Cain.

 

People not having an education opportunity, especially raised in a single parent household?  Tell that to Dr. Ben Carson.

 

The point is, these black men have achieved great accomplishments because of their own hard work, not because it was given to them.

this is essentially the point I'm trying to make you don't have to let your surroundings hold you down.  Further more you can move somewhere else.  On top of that, if it is your peers that are holding your people down you have a bigger problem than just the police and government and reparations are not going to help anything.

Go Jags!
