QuoteQuoteWell, you can't really blame them. If their constituents ever found out that whitey isn't really out to get them, the representatives would be out of a job.
" Whitey" already got them.
"Whitey" enslaved them .
"Whitey" has yet to make reperations for slavery.
Who gets the money and who pays it? What about the "whities" who weren't even in this country when slavery was going on? Do black immigrants from Jamaica get money?

Since the reparations are for the effects of slavery, and the following decades of discrimination, well, people who weren't here for the Civil War time (which includes all of my ancestors, I believe) are probably included.QuoteWho gets the money and who pays it?

There is still discrimination; social and legal. Social goes in both directions, legal is largely in the form of AA.
When you consider, however, that the power is largely held by white people, social discrimination has a disproportionately negative effect on minorities. It's real. If you don't think so, consider the impact of hip-hop clothing in a hiring decision for a job with no public impact. Who sets the standards for "acceptable" clothing? White people's standards. That's who's in the majority, and who's in power.
I don't really think that financial reparations are the way to go. It's just another one-time handout that will be pissed away like most of them (just look up what happens to Lotto winners).
There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

I'm still wondering what butt sex and alcohol have to do with all this...

Oh, I don't know about that...wearing a suit is not white people's standards. If I wore cargo shorts and a tank top with flip flops(socks optional), I could expect the same impact if I were to sag my 8-ball pants and sport a Hennesey cap sideways.
Take it from me...Brothers in Detroit are known around here for having style. They don't need whitey to teach them how to color match.

The ones with money and power, it is. Take a walk around any bank, or meetings among the executives of major corporations. Not within, but when they meet formally with executives from other corporations.Quotewearing a suit is not white people's standards
Not a lot of sideways baseball caps there.

Whatever Wendy...Black people have the same standards when it comes to professionalism.
Not alot of cargo shorts and muscle shirts there either...

How about we just leave the butt sex out of this, ok?
