    We’re continuing our discussion of class and you can’t talk about class in America without addressing race-not that people don’t try. The legacy of wealth inequality between Blacks and whites goes way back, and most of it was by design. Here to discuss is Pulitzer prize-winning journalist and creator of The 1619 Project Nikole Hannah-Jones.
    SHOW SYNOPSIS: Emmy Award-winning producer, actor and comedian Larry Wilmore is bringing his distinct voice to streaming with a new weekly special series. WILMORE. Larry will have real discussions with high profile people from all different backgrounds including sports, politics, and entertainment. Each episode will not only cover the election but will also engage in the important conversations of the week. It will be funny, sometimes serious, potentially awkward, and most definitely honest. Larry Wilmore (who has an overall production deal with Universal TV), Jo Miller, Tony Hernandez, Brooke Posch, David Miner, and Michael Rotenberg serve as executive producers. The series is produced by Jax Media and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.

    In Canada, the Indigenous soldiers in World War 2,, who at the time weren't considered basic citizens of Canada, were denied the GI bonuses and financial assistance given to other veterans. Also, the Indigenous population weren't considered citizens here until 1963!

      Yes in America we act like canada is some perfect place and i wonder to what extent that vision of canada has affected canada's own view of themselves, when in reality they have had an equally bad reputation with race and in their interactions with indigenous peoples. Even while the word Canada itself comes from the Laurentian Indian word for town (you can hear the similarities in other living iroquoian languages like the cayuga for town)

    When tax bills benefit landed investors over workers, the wealth gap is self-perpetuating. Better education and access can lead to better jobs with the potential for growing wealth, but there are gaps at every step of the way due to institutional racism. Without reparations, closing the gap isn't possible.

    • @jeffreym68
      @jeffreym68 3 роки тому +1

      Education is a necessary but not sufficient condition for improvement. Also, it could be argued that reparations and "free money" are not the same thing.

    to begin, how about opening every facility of education free of charge to anyone of Slavery Descent pre-K to PhD. we need to find the minds with the answers to today's most pressing problems. an education free of the worries of finance can flourish and bring about great wonders.

      Incorrect. Benefits under the GI Bill included low-cost mortgages, low-interest loans to start a business or farm, one year of unemployment compensation, and dedicated payments of tuition and living expenses to attend high school, college, or vocational school. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Bill

    I don't understand how reparations is going to help long term. Research into lottery winners show the money will be gone in two years. So how is reparations is not going to solve the problem. The money would be better spend in educations, not only K-12, but scholarship for post secondary. Plus educations into money management.

    • @lindawalker161
      @lindawalker161 3 роки тому +11

      Reparations are not about just money. It really hasn't been established what reparations would actually mean. Education is another thing that only goes so far, ask all the people with a degree and no job. I'm thinking we need a national discussion and perhaps establish a commission to study how it would work. Nicole Hannah-Jones has done tremendous ground work to getting this work started.

      Yes, reparations can take the form of community investment, or no property taxes (what they're fighting for in Tulsa rn), or scholarships, housing, or money given to slavery descendants outright. We can't be afraid to talk about this, or research it.
