Indians and Jews could teach a thing or two, to blacks, about discrimination.


Almost any group of people could teach blacks about discrimination. I could tell you many stories of how we were discriminated against but it would take many pages of discourse to present. We have not asked for reparations of any kind nor play the role of "victim". We don't need diversification, inclusion and equity to find our way to a better life. Affirmative Action is for dummies and sissies and is a racist program in itself. We don't need the "NAAWP", the National Association for the Advancement of White People. We don't bash blacks for their Black Privilege or racism in their DNA.

Should Elizabeth Warren, better known as Lieawatha Warren or Fauxchahontas, have to pay reparations to Indians for misrepresenting herself as an Indian? Should she have to pay reparations to the colleges she lied to about her so-called Indian heritage? Should she have to pay reparations to those that she got favored student status over and they were denied admission into a college because of her lies? What about her favored professorship job being given to her at Harvard based upon her lies about her being an Indian? How many real Indians did she displace? What about reparations that she owes them?

That should answer your question.

I am not responsible for reparations. Period. My ancestors came to America after those times. And since those times there have been countless examples of giving favoritism to those whose ancestors were victims of those bad times. And many who weren't and still had those advantages offered to them. Those people are all responsible for not making the maximum of those extra advantages offered to them and their ancestors. Just as those that might have had more favorable advantages offered to them because of their ancestry, were responsible for how they used them. It balances over time and if you or your ancestors did not take advantage to what was available to them, it is there faults, and your hard luck, and not my responsibility. Now act like an adult, stand on your own two feet, and make the best of yourself on your own. There is no such rational thing as equity and DEI is better spelled DIE as it will cause a free society where the best can achieve their best, to DIE.

It is amazing how blacks in the U.S. cry for reparations when they have the best standard of living in the world with the greatest chance to elevate their financial status. Many blacks have far more than a lot of Whites. I don't hear about reparations in any other countries that had black slaves brought to their country. Has anyone heard of blacks in any Muslim country complaining about reparations for the biggest slave traders in the world?? Can anyone even explain why blacks gravitate to a religion that pushed the slave trade to the max and to this day still have slaves? Can anyone explain why blacks can't seem to understand that the U.S. and Britain were 2 of the 1st countries to outlaw slavery?? In fact the Brits had to force Nigeria to stop it's slave trading ways. The insanity of reparations is just that, insanity.

Most of these people that want reparations can’t even spell the word. All they know is that it would mean FREE MONEY $$$$$ for doing absolutely nothing to deserve it.

I agree to pay reparations to all the slaves I've owned. They just need to step forward!

There was a time in biblical times when you were held to account for what your family did, until the 7th generation......however we are not living in those days.

Every person is responsible for the good and bad they do in this world and it would be completely unfair to charge them with crimes of thier forefathers or descendants.

Parents are responsible for thier children, until thier children reach the age and mentality of an adult, which occurs between 18 and 25.

Although love transcends time, and therefore hate does too, a person is only held to acount for what they can do, and what they have done. And since praise and guilt are part of love and hate, the individual may hold themselves accountable, but that is not necessary. You are responsible for your own actions or inactions.

Nothing more and nothing less.

It is what it is.

The Bible also says women shouldn't be allowed to speak in front of the church but many, like the UMC, say that is wrong. Should we follow the entirety of the bible isn all things? Everyone is responsible for what they do, not their parents nor their ancestors.

Are you implying that I write rubber reparations checks? Just because you can dribble them all the way to the bank?
