Do you think the slaves were owed reparations?

Reparation paid. They made him President.

 

I have no idea where I'd be if my ancestors hadn't been enslaved. I wouldn't be here in this land that your ancestors stole from the Native Americans.

 

Affirmative Action is NOT reparations.

 

Yes, they should have got some.
But they've been gone for some 150 yrs. 5-7 generations ago. It's over.

 

Yeah, it is. And it's going to end. And when it does there will be no more of this bullshit

 

Hey to be fair we stole some of it from other countries after they stole it or tricked it out of the natives hands. The natives had done likewise throughout history. Such is human nature and interaction.
And some of it we bought even.

 

The fact that Europeans bought other human beings and forced them into slavery has got to show the kind of morality they had.

 

That’s right. You’d be in Africa. War-torn, poverty stricken, starving, thirsty, pathetic quality of life Africa.

You’d most likely be victim of war and if you were LUCKY you’d probably be begging for a job that provided you enough money to survive without starving. But if you were the average African you’d be subjugated by your local warlord, extorted for goods and services and possibly sold into sexual servitude or slavery yourself.

Make sure you understand. You are the greatest beneficiary of slavery.

 

Keep dreaming!

 

True that. If the descendants get anything, it should be from the descendants of the families that owned them.

 

No, you stole it.

 

Forced equal treatment.

 

Lady have you ever read any of the affirmative action cases? It has a timeline on it and it's already starting to stink.

Hard to say that women and blacks are de facto oppressed when they are the most educated group of persons in the nation.

It's over. We all won and the Klan lost. Dont you understand?

 

You make Africa sound pretty bad. Tell me. If Africa is so terrible why did European countries colonize the continent? And the Africans had to drive them out to gain their independence?

 

No it's a policy of preferring candidates or discriminating against candidates based upon their race.

 

We will work out the details later. Don't worry about it.

 

Didnt you see me admit to that? Every bit of land on this planet was stolen. Including the land of the Iroquis and the Sioux and the Comanche etc et alia.
Though some of it we literally bought from others so you might want to get a history lesson.

 

If you cannot explain the policy you cannot expect it to be supported.

 

That sounds like White privilege!

 

Affirmative action is available based upon race only.

Still sore about the whole it was built with a time limit thing, huh?

 

Yes, to equalize the preference of whites based upon their skin color as was the case since the country was founded.

 

I'm not sore at all. I've never used affirmative action; didn't need it.

 

Which is why the party of slavery should be disbanded.

 

And you are the beneficiary of stolen land and the enslavement of Black people.

 

That's sort of the thing with it though: its obligatory and pervasive by design.
Schools weight admissions based on it, for a single example. You dont need or dont need that, its applied to you simply because they know who you are.
