Reparations

Yeah, but it wasnt allowed and smiled upon by the US Government. It's illegal.
 
I think if Jefferson had not have been assassinated this whole thing would have been righted way back then. Now it's to late. Theres no reason for reparations any more.
 
They do need to provide funds for inner cities. Those kinds of reparations I will support fully. And since oakzap and myself are the only two blacks that responded, our word is law. Game over. Close thread. Otherwise we will come to your suburban malls and act in a rowdy fashion.
 
Obama's gonna want his reparations when he gets in office b*tches.

Obama in office IS reparations. A ***** is running this entire joint, that's reparations for every black person in existence. And Plaxico Burress for veep.

If I were Obama, I'd act straight up gangsta for like, the first week I was in office. It would scare the sh** out of white people. I'd laugh.

The best possible reparations that could be offered to Black Americans and all Americans is an opportunity at an excellent education. Disparity in the public school systems exists because of the way public schools are funded. There should be less reliance on local property taxes (meaning, properties in poor neighborhoods pay fewer taxes, therefore offering less support for their local schools) and more federal funding with an equitable distribution of funds.

Kids have no control over the families they are born in to, whether rich or poor. And in this country, they shouldn't be penalized for having parents who are less affluent than others. Every single American child should have an equal opportunity at public education.

He'd be dead not a year into his term. That's kinda scary when you think of how true that probably is.
 
I don't think the government would be capable of paying the right amount of reparations. Also determining who is rightfully entitled seems improbable .
 
Personally I find reparations for people who didnt actually suffer the act kinda strange.
 
I'm no racist but the whole concept makes me furious. I'm of Cherokee indian descent, among many other cultural backgrounds, and why dont I get any dough for my ancestors being on the trail of tears? Why don't i get any scratch for my Italian (pronounced eye-talian) ancestors being abused by their employers when they immigrated to this country? Or my Irish ancestors?

180 years after the Iraq war, are Iraqis going to get dough for the iraq war?
 
I think we better stop thinking about reparations and focus on recession.
 
You get no love, dude. I'm pretty sure it's the numbers in your name.

I guess I'm too e-white. :(

Which is why I threw a brotha in the avatar. And with his cheek to a white woman no less.
 
what do you guys think about affirmative action

Every white person on the Hype, read the above post carefully. If you're looking to start a conversation with a group of black dudes at your job, at school, or around the town, this makes for a fannnnntastic icebreaker.

I have and they agree it isn't right.
 
I want reparations for my great great great great great great great great grandparents being indentured slaves in feudal Europe.

The check is on the way. The only problem is the dollar was significantly worth less around that time.. anyway .02 cents should cover it and make up for any ill will.
 
I want money for all that my Polish people went thru, all of my Irish people, all of my Italian people, all of my spanish people, and all of my Native American people.

Yeah, imagine how much money I'll have then. :hehe:
 
I just want money. I'm a slave to the wage.
 
Honestly, these questions are just white guys asking other white guys what they think about minority issues, so the whole thing is kind of moot.
