Sometimes I think you say something that stupid just to try to convince people to take an opinion opposite to the one you've espoused. GunslingerGunsl posted... You know that's not going to happen.

Do you think it's better to just tell people "just forget about it and move on?" Would you tell someone with a trauma history to do that? What is your solution? And your argument is every bit as stupid as his hypothetical. In many cases, these reparations will be given to people whose ancestors weren't even in the country during the slave trend. More importantly, it perpetuates the harmful stereotype that the black community and African-Americans aren't capable of succeeding and need the government to help. If many successful African-Americans who are an inspiration to ALL people -- including Oprah, Daymond John, Lonnie Johnson (okay, maybe he isn't as famous as the others, but he should be more famous than he is), etc -- believed that poisoned narrative you're trying to push, they may never have achieved their success. GunslingerGunsl posted... Do you think it's better to just tell people "just forget about it and move on?" Would you tell someone with a trauma history to do that? What is your solution? Considering it's been about 150 years, yeah. Besides the fact that you can't actually change the past, we've seen countless measures already and we could be handing out cash and other crap for the next thousand years without actually fixing anything. The ONE really great (on paper anyway) program to fix these issues was repatriotization -- where America tried to help African-Americans who wanted to return to the land of their ancestors do so (which is the closest thing you can do to returning things to a pre-slavery status quo) -- but it was completely fucking bungled and the goal was largely infeasible anyway because of the time that passed (as well as other conditions), most former slaves had no interest in leaving the US. And really, why would they? Most were generations removed from their abduction and their ancestry became murky between only hearing stories about the land of their ancestors and, quite often, having ancestors from different lands. However, unlike trying to give reparations today to people who may or may not have even had slave ancestors, that was an actual solution with the power to do something. Muscles posted... The solution is to update racist laws so we can end institutional racism and, on an individual level, to not be racist Given that "institutional racism" is largely a phantom menace, there's really no way to "end" it. Most of the claims are outcome-based or purport to look at overall trends rather than highlight anything concrete. In many cases, it's predicated on bad information and completely unrealistic beliefs since, unless you contrive the system to REALLY be racist, you're not going to ever achieve anything close to similar outcome levels and if you do contrive the system in that way it's going to be something far more unjust than anything claimed now. There's no easy fix for America's social problems and anybody who claims there are is either a conman (Al Sharpton) or an idiot. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:951639687] in Chicago Su...
