I'm gonna have yo go with Neveragainforyou.

That doesn't really seem that bad tbh.

You also don't like My Affection For Jon Lovitz, and that's like, the best name.

:lol:

Yeah that's a ****ing awful band name.

It's hilarious because they're the least serious mother ****ers in existence.

The one song has a breakdown that's just like:
"TOO BAD YOUR MOM STILL BEATS YOU"

I bet I'm waaaaaaay less serious, brah. I'm so not serious it's not even funny.

We played a like... 10 minute set, two songs, because we ended up scrapping half of our music, but what we played turned out so much better than i was expecting. you need to come chill friday and tag along ot the show.

how are reparations bullshit?

[QUOTE=flesh;17344825]how are reparations bullpoop?[/QUOTE]

They don't deserve money for what their [I]ancestors[/I] went through, that's bullshit imo. The idea is just preposterous.

i think he wanted the other dude to answer.

Well most of the wealth in america is held by white people who accumulated it during the slave by abusing african americans. Also the african american community faces many social problems right now that can be traced back to slavery. They had hundreds of years of not owning anything. When they were set "free" they were still abused and restrained by segregation and Jim Crow laws that crippled them economically. So you have this whole social class institutionalized into poverty and segregation who don't have the same opportunities as a lot of whites and face several harsh social set backs such as violence in their communities, racism, poverty, etc. They deserve reparations because of this cause and effect chain.

They don't deserve money for work they didn't do.

EDIT: and just giving black people free money isn't going to get them out of their current state, either.

As someone who lives in the heartland of American white-black racism, reparations won't do anything but place into the minds of people who don't do anything that the government is here to give out hand outs for history that has happened in the past. The way to remove the social plight of the African-American community is to target the sale of crack, but not in the current policy which is to punish as opposed to education and prevention, increased information and promotion towards reduction of violent crime related to firearms, and an increased positive outlook at the traditional family of married parents (another tactic is increased sexual education including preventative measures towards teen pregnancy such as contraceptives as opposed to the outdated and uneffective abstinence education) which will hopefully contribute to the lessening of the number of dead beat dads.

Seriously, if anyone deserves reparations, which I don't think anyone does, it's Native Americans.

Yeah I think the Native Americans had it rougher than anyone.

reparations would have been correct 100 years ago MAYBE BUT NO LONGER

Reparations was never the answer.

Yeah well neither was CIVIL LIBERTIES

[QUOTE=RetiredAt21;17345134]Reparations was never the answer.[/QUOTE]

This is simply incorrect. Land and wealth should have been redistributed as planned post-emancipation.

No, that's just not the way it works.

Well Justin, in your enlightened opinion, tell me why reparations would not have worked in the 1870's (based off of the assumption that the democrats had not blocked civil rights and reparations reform in this period).

Also, reparations doesn't necessarily mean free money or a check. This is one of those ideas that some politician thought up to scare away working class white people from supporting the idea.

How is throwing money at them going to help? They needed to be properly integrated into society and they weren't and still haven't been completely. Giving them money isn't going to solve anything.

I was talking about right after the Civil War dipshit, you saying it was 'never' the answer isn't correct.

One thing holding them back from being equal members of society is lower quality education, which is related to income. But again, 'reparations' doesn't mean 'check in the mail.'

Are you saying for instance, tax-funded schools solely for black people with a higher degree of education than normal public institutions, that sort of thing?

I would think a complete retooling of public schools in general, with affirmative actions practices for public universities.

I agree with the first part, but the second part not so much

Elaborate.

I don't believe that affirmative action is ever the correct course of action, because it pretty much begs to get abused. And unless the way it is handled is changed, it also cultivates a society of people who go "oh, well I don't have to try AS hard because I have a leg up"

Affirmative action is retarded.

You're racist. I'm sorry.

How am I racist?

Do you not get how ignorant you sound?

His core idea is right though. no group of people should have money thrown at them, should they?

I don't really think it should be as simple as throwing money at them but I do think we should spend a lot of money and effort to help out minorities in this country who have suffered horribly.

I didn't say anything ignorant. If you think blacks ever were or are currently properly integrated into our society then [I]you[/I] are the one who is ignorant because they are clearly not.
