Reparations may sound nice in theory, but how could it ever be practical? What amount is enough? Who receives reparations and at what percentage? Do black multi-millionaires in the NBA, NFL, business, entertainment, etc. get a portion? For as long as the USA is in existence, there will be citizens who are descendants of slaves. Do we continue to pay these reparations for 100 years, 200 years, indefinitely? If they were paid, be honest... do you really think things will get better?
If we pay reparations, then we're even stevens and y'all don't get anymore handouts or protected status.
Civil War - Thousands of whites died. All paid.
No thanks.
Thanks for your sincere attention to the Ta'Nehisi Coates interview. Having read his work and the scholarship that his conclusions are drawn from, I find myself siding with Coates on this issue.
I don't believe that it is cut and dry either way, for or against reparations for black Americans. But reparations have been issued by the American gov't to MANY other racial, ethnic and other sub-groups for lesser wrongs done against them, a fact that few on these boards know of, nor would honestly acknowledge if they did.
No one really expects there will be reparations.
