15. I agree
The idea of people "getting something for nothing" ignores the benefit they have to society.

Seniors paid their dues. Most were born during the Great Depression and paid into SS and pension funds their whole lives.

Minorities paid because they were denied a living wage throughout their lives and were actively prevented from advancing.

These conservatives screaming "reparations are unfair" deny the billions or even trillions of dollars that minorities couldn't access during their lives.

It's a racket, as one wise man once said.
