    I have noticed that as soon as a white person sticks up for a black person he is immediately disown by other white why is this?
    A father passes his corporation down to his son, the son accepts the responsibility of running corporation and all of the pros and cons that may be associated with it. Many of the employees are upset because during the fathers reign, they nor past employees were ever paid or accommodated for their labor that made the Corporation a success. A class action lawsuit is filed and the son agrees to make things right by settling the case with all the employees. Tell me if this a logical thing that the son did? For those who say yes, I ask of you to look at it this way. The corporation I am speaking of is America, the son is today's government, the employees are the descendants of slaves. The fact remains true to Gods word, whenever someone is owed by the debt must be still be settled.

    In 1988, Ronald Reagan authorized reparation payments to Japanese Americans or the heirs of Japanese Americans who were sent to WWII internment camps. There are still a lot of blacks who suffered under racial segregation or are the children of those who suffered under segregation. Where are their reparations?

    I am a black person. The native american people were super divided. Some helped the white man some hated the white man. Whether you know it or not you deserve reparations. You don't understand the racial psychological damage that black people have (unaddressed). You have to work to uplift your own people and I would work to do the same for mine. Don't let white people pretend they have no responsibility. We should not fight or look down on each other you should join reparations movement

    The one discourse that people are not mentioning here is the fact that African Americans are the ONLY people in the world who DO NOT know who they really are(i.e. our native tongue and languages, our specific tribe and culture, our namesake, customs, traditions) Everyone else in America, with the exception of the Native American, came here willingly and were not stripped of their true selves.
    Companies like Aetna benefited from the slave trade by insuring slaves and paying slaveowners.

    My Father's Grandfather's ,and Grandmother's Mother, and father were both a product of slavery .My father could only attend school as far as the second grade because like so many he had to stay home, and work.Even today because of his upbringing , The memories ,and stories of his grandparents are embedded in his genetic make-up. His experience ,or lack there of will walk with him threw out the remainder of his life.Yes, he deserves reparations ,we all do.If slaves had been paid for their labor it would be a whole new world for Black Americans.Look how far we have come from being released from the bonds of slavery with nothing...Can you imagine?We don't need institutions give us our check , Individuals are perfectly capable of deciding how,and under what circumstances our finances should be spent.Enough is Enough !Pay your debt!!

    I know-- Let's make "reparations" a merit-based item for blacks. Reparation "grants" in the form of scholarships for ALL black students with SATs over 2,100; math and science prizes; "good citizenship" awards; "model turnaround inner city community of the year"; "father of the year" awards," etc. The payments can go to individuals and groups, depending on the award. But it would ONLY be merit based. The idea would be to weed out the cultural dysfunctionalities and promote EARNED achievement.

We as Black people will never overcome (like the Jews) because we are still so dependent of this government. I have my own money because I worked for it. No I don't need food stamps. No I don't need Welfare. And no I don't need a reparation.

    The only way the "closure" portion of your proposal would work is if every Black American was to get a "compensation" of upper middle class for the rest of their lives. This would of-course be in conjunction with free education, health care and housing. This opinion was formed from listing to aprox 7 to 10 of my black friends.

    True, there is little tangible value in personal apologies,...however, there is a moral implication that agents/representatives of the state and enabling agencies should issue public apologies and proclamations (wasn't the centuries-long slavery institution itself quite public) & take every deliberate action to reverse the negative social/economic consequences of the slavery institution on relatively disadvantaged modern slave descendants. More then a third of slave descendants are impoverished

    I'll be honest as a white man the idea is not widely accepted. This particular discussion has definitely caused me to at least be willing to have discussions about it.
    I started my own group, extremely diversified, where we are trying to have these types of hard conversations. It's been challenging lol, but we're seeing that it's giving us different viewpoints and that there is common ground to work with.
    I'll be honest I've never really took the time to learn about black history and I think our government failed them miserably, my perspective really changed when I asked myself this question.

    @MsPamAnn Listen, I didn't hold any slaves. Neither did my dad, or my grandad. As a matter of fact, this has nothing to do with slavery. We're living in a new generation--nothing that happened in the past can affect you right now. The fact that slavery existed doesn't help you in your day to day life. Why am I supposed to pay for a mistake I didn't make? Assuming all whites should pay for mistakes (Almost all) didn't make is racist on its own, thus hypocritical on your end.

    My great grandfather died freeing the slaves during the civil war, surviving family was never paid the 420,000.00 death gratuity that is paid out to today’s veterans who die in battle. Shouldn’t I be able to make claim for that payment then? Better yet, since he died freeing the slaves shouldn’t the black community pay my family some kind of death gratuity?

    @tompalmer5986 4 роки тому

    Mr. Darity said a few of the things I was thinking. We cannot count the end of the Civil War as being the end of slavery. Blacks suffered brutal exploitation for a hundred years after that. One thing he didn't mention though, is that after we paid reparations to blacks we could offer them very good deals on houses. We would need to structure reparations in such a way that it promoted stability among blacks. I'm still not completely sold on reparations, though. Blacks weren't the only ones who had their labor stolen from them. A lot of whites suffered horribly in the coal mines and steel mills of the industrial revolution.

    I agree. Many Europeans also deserve reparations because there was so much racism approximately a thousand years ago.

  • @charlescook1856

    He has valid points. But there is the other side, which is that reparations have been made, to some extent, at least. Affirmative action, along with a general social "safety net" has been in place for many decades. There have been other actions such as the recent NAACP law suit against insurance companies for insuring slaves. There is also the argument that other minorities have seldom been offered any reparations or compensation.
