    I would move out of California so fast that their head would spin. I would never pay taxes to cover the cost they are talking. They are begging for another white flight era. California will be crippled by people moving out and blacks moving in. Bankruptcy is in their future.

    Do democrats believe that no one will notice that reparations are in fact their modern version of buying folks?

    This is beyond buying a vote. This is tax free living, free housing in San Francisco , and a huge guaranteed income. These people don’t deserve this crap. We already paid in blood for slavery. This is a pile of garbage.

    My point precisely. It's modern day slavery. Just well funded. It's insane.

    so you want USA to be commemorated for ceasing the very evil practice they began and profited from for hundreds of years?

    That's like celebrating Jeffrey Dahmer for not eating ppl anymore.

    Sheesh, it beggars belief.

    Putting aside the fact that this is all another opinion piece you cited, why don't "these people" deserve this crap?

    There is 0% chance any of this ever happens.

    They always dangle this carrot before every election.

    drum up enthusiasm trying to get the black population to turn out and vote

    The San Francisco area especially feels an urgency to somehow respond because most of the black community have been pushed out by the insane housing price increases, so this is kind of like a "bribe", to keep blacks aboard the boat.

    Because slavery has already been paid for in blood. The deadliest war in America caused family lines to be lost to free slaves. We paid our dues for slavery. As this article states this is reparations for slavery, and as I pointed out we have paid them.

    That’s the first reason why. The second reason is because taxing based on race creates a favored class and do you really think that’s going away? If this is afforded white family lines will be enslaved to them by law. Our kids and our grandkids and our great great grandkids don’t deserve to be enslaved for something they had no part in.

    Yes, it's taken 40 years for the most liberal city council in the US to even make a proposal.

    There is a 0% chance of this happening.

    That means there is a chance of it happening. All they have to do is get democrats to buy on to it. And if they don’t they may water it down. But they will do something. This is the same state that has people arguing that math is racist. Don’t kid yourself

    I'm not opposed to doing "something".

    And?

    What do you want, a ****ing medal for doing what any decent person would do?

    Everyone's already technically enslaved by law to pay taxes, so this isn't a new thing. Also, as your own opinionated source says, it's just a proposal, not law so if it doesn't happen anyway then this is all a moot point.

    Never asked for a medal did I. I’m just stating the payment for slavery has been paid. We don’t owe them reparations. If we do then they should turn around and pay us for the war it took to free them

    What an incredibly asshle thing to say. You don't get a bonus prize or special awards for doing the bare minimum for humanity. Only asshles think like that, and again, so what?

    Also @Joe knows , you alone have 5 threads in this sub dedicated to talking about black people in some negative way. Do you have an issue with black people you'd like to get off your chest?

    I don’t owe them a dang thing. I don’t care if that makes me an *****. If it does I’m proud to be one. Their position isn’t being held back by anyone other than them. I nor do anyone I know is indebted to them for anything.

    Make your own thread if you want to go off topic, if you have an issue with those threads then go post there.

    Good, 'cause they don't owe you either and honestly part of me now wants to see this approved solely to piss you off. . However it's nice to see you take pride in being an asshle, now if only you could take the same pride in being smart.

    I actually am just curious to know what your beef is with black people, otherwise why go out of your way to make these threads?

    I don’t have a beef with black people, I have a beef with them thinking we owe them something.

    No. If it’s enacted it will cause another white flight in California. It won’t effect me at all. But I don’t much want to see Californians move to my state. They don’t owe us anything as of now but if they get reparations for something we already paid for them they owe every family that lost lives in the civil war.
