And then what happens after reparations are paid?
What comes next?
Are their lives improved? Do they live well mannered, law abiding lives?

You can take the thug out of the ghetto but can you take the ghetto out of the thug?

Christians know this stuff off the top of their head. Where no one turns down free money...
But most Churches are segregated along racial lines not because of any other reason than the minorities prefer it that way.

The minorities are still prejudiced against the majority population.

And when the minorities decide to drop all racism and live as anyone can...they succeed.

What will that do?
It's like here in Canada, millions going into special groups.
They need more later. No end to it.

What they need is Jesus Christ.

They need to listen to Ben Carson!

Wow - you can take the thug out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the thug.

What do you refer to whites who commit the same crimes? Hispanics? Or other ethnic groups?

The majority are the ones that at least are over half their numbers are still prejudice.

Descendents of slaves never benefited from their ancestor's brutal slavery. Even as close as the 1080's Blacks were still treated unequally and truth be told still equality is still an issue.

You say Blacks want to stay away from White's - well those that do have good reason - they know how most White's feel towards Blacks - if not for laws passed Blacks would still be in chains and / or suppressed.
Whites who move into the as you say the ghetto is treated well and equal - no negative talking behind closed doors.



I doubt if reparations will be given - then for *life times* - over a century since ending slavery - and the centuries of slavery what amount of money could even be said to rectify it.

Besides equality is better - change of hearts - that is what will last. Money will disappear true equality will last.

Are you so prejudiced that you believe everyone who lives in a ghetto is one specific color or race? Thugs come in every color and race the world has including white, red, yellow, olive, brown, and black.

In case you were not aware but there's a VP candidate that came out of a family that were thugs. He escaped that life.

Churches accept people from ALL WALKS OF LIFE. A millionaire can likely be sitting next to someone living on state assistance. Whether they are of the same race is not relevant nor their socio economic status. It's a core principle of our faith....perhaps you don't know that because you are not a believer.
All are welcome in God's House because it's God's....not any one ethnicity because God made all ethnicities.


But as far as reparations....California was not part of the Civil War nor did it have black slaves....it had a few Asian slaves. But for whatever reason they are being ignored.
Then there's the Semoan population which is more deserving of reparations than black people in California who were never slaves to begin with.

So....why give those who were never enslaved reparations after they already have been offered preferential treatment for college admissions, tutoring, scholarships, small business loans, and hiring practices for fortune 500 companies?

It is ultimately MORE prejudiced to declare that someone can have no success in the USA solely based on the color of his skin or his ethnicity. When nothing further from the truth could be true. There exists a wide range of people from various ethnicities that have achieved economic success in the USA. From Ethiopian to Mexican, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Jamaican, Brazilian, Argentinian and Polish. Even the Irish.

Everyone has done well with education, hard work, and a bit of luck.

Same video... I can't help wondering why Harris starts to laugh like crazy after she says she'll sign a reparations bill!

Also, the USA is in debt enough already.... doesn't she realize that? She just wants the votes.

I'm also from California....never had black slaves here. But the Catholic priests used Native American labor to build our historic Spanish missions up and down the coast.

Common sense - the post is about reparations To Blacks _ the comment I replied to is written about that post..... Your comment directly to me shows denial of THE WHOLE Truth..... Your attempt to reverse the comment I replied to, to APPLY to me failed - to honest people anyway..... You ignored my last written words just to voice your heart felt feeling.
So I will leave with truth again



When was 2023 oh last year - now how many can over come in 12 months?

Preferential - ha
The most valuable tools and opportunities of American society were offered without cost....and snubbed.

With those tools a person can achieve money and power. Not just an equal standing but superior. But they are routinely snubbed. The work required to use them appropriately and wisely is a gift from God.

Your fight is with God and not man. I suggest you make peace with Him.

Persistent I see _ You're the one that needs to make peace with God - I am at peace with him. I have no need to fight God.
Quite frankly I'm not fighting anyone what I speak is the truth you don't like it I frankly don't care

What comes next is more reparations. The allure of free money is too great. Once that can of worms is opened, it will never end.

The only ones who truly deserved reparations were the slaves themselves, but that moment has long since passed.

She's running a JOYFUL campaign!
Didn't you know?
They're joyful persons.

I bemoan the 90's when I THOUGHT racism was taken care of.
Seems like it's gotten bad because of the sharp division causing politics and movements.

:pensive:

I don't want your STOLEN money Kamala!
No.
You don't understand.
It's YOUR money she'd give away.
Of course, this won't be happening.
Which is why she's laughing and getting a kick out of this.
She won't be putting limits of food prices either.
It would cause inflation and shortage of food....been tried....doesn't work.

It's all a joke.
And she and her ilk MAKE FUN of black people as if they're idiots.

I ain't 'white'. Kamala is a typical Left wing lunatic trying to stir up racial strife that doesn't exist!

A lot of black people support and love Trump. They talk against Kamala and her policies. Also, they see she is using race to try to get votes.

There are some people that are still racist. But many of us are not. My parents were never prejudiced so I was brought up that way in Pennsylvania (I'm born in 1950). Also, I always took to heart that Jesus said love your neighbor as yourself. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.

And I live in Los Angeles which is a huge melting pot of ethnicities. If you are prejudiced here, you will be hating nearly everyone! I'm white. I have one white friend....my other friends are from Mexico, Guatemala, Bangladesh, Kenya and India.

Hi Jack,
Not sure what I AIN'T WHITE in quotation marks means.
Whatever color you are....
Kamala would be giving away YOUR money.
I think we agree on this.

And yes, I think that, if left to our own devices, we've become sophisticated enough and intelligent enough that color means nothing these days. EXCEPT that, yes, some want to cause strife. And, unfortunately, some mainstream types get caught up with the radicals on either side.
Radical is bad -be it left or right. But, right now, it's the left that is making our world a crazy place to be growing up in for kids.
