Having to overcome one less barrier is definitely helpful, isnt it? No one said this was gonna be a panacea for every obstacle facing black people, but it's clearly better than nothing.


Handing out the $10million arbitrarily is worse than investing that money in a school, job program or housing project.

The only reason this even exists is because a large proportion of the population is reenacting a collective delusion.

This will make the problem EVEN WORSE.

The problems within the black community go much farther than money alone.

The black vote is shifting to the right. In 10-15 years, the black vote will be a swing vote, not a democrat voting bloc as it currently is. The only reason the democrats are pushing this now (and the only reason for BLM) is to try to stem the tide for 1-2 election cycles.

that it goes towards home repairs and/or down payments is nice too. a $25k check handed out to most Americans is going to be spent recklessly. this helps families build equity in something that can create more wealth to pass down

This is GREAT!

I'm sure reparations for people who wear glasses and were mistreated because of that will be next.

Honestly I think it's kind of dumb. No one alive today was a slave back then, and blacks weren't the only slaves. Reparations for something no one alive was apart of and isn't all inclusive is redundant. What about asians? What about native americans?

And then maybe all those fat girls that got picked on in grade school will get reparations too.

Oh yeah, 200 years of slavery and civil rights violations that continue to this day are definitely the same thing as getting picked on.

Yep, no racism here boss.
