Its easy to say that reparations is a joke... until you've lived a month as a black person living in the ghetto.

that's a crock of shit. Have you ever been to my neighborhood? no, it's not exactly the most posh in town if you'd like to come by and check it out for yourself i'd be more then happy to give you a tour of the ghetto. .
Please tell me, how, in
ANY way, I have benefitted from a race of people being enslaved 400 years ago? My family has been in this country for 2 generations (both grandparents direct off the boat) Not one person in my family has ever owned a slave, met a slave, or directly benefitted from slavery.
Please also remind me why, a crack dealer with 5 grand in his pocket, a 60k benz sittin on 8k rims goes to the store and fucking uses FOOD STAMPS to buy one of his 14 illigitimate children diapers. I'm sure whitey is to blame for that too?
Lets be serious here, yes slavery was fucked up, but white people are NOT the only ones to blame for slavery. Yes white people took advantage of it, but they were not the only ones to participate in the slave trade.
I'm 1/2 irish... who do i bitch and moan at about my reparations for my people being enslaved for hundred of years longer then blacks were endentured. Who do i see about my 40 acres and a mule?
