(6,342 posts)Like I said...none of the arguments matter. Reparations for blacks will never happen. The majority of the country would rather the racism continue than to give up a share of their wealth for a problem they don't believe they were ever part of. That's the cold reality.
You got a lot of people in this country that are struggling. The middle class is being gutted. Poor whites and poor latinos are struggling too. And you want to put in place a system that would only benefit poor blacks? Not happening....it's never going to happen. Maybe if we ever get a period of prosperity again and the middle class is very strong once again...then maybe we can explore some conversations. But right now in the present political and economic climate...this is a dead end.
