What are you so afraid of?
Reparations are not justice it's political pandering but I get that you're too dense to understand that. Remember who is promising these things and what they've accomplished.

I ADORE how you of all people lecture me on Jesus. You despise the religion you've said as much of your time practicing it. So don't come to me and tell me what is good and true and fair because you haven't the slightest idea.

You don't get to dictate to me who I am or what I believe.

Afraid? No, not afraid. I'm irked that 1. People are dumb enough to believe it would ever happen and 2. That people are dumb enough to think reparations would accomplish anything but further dividing the nation I live in and love.

Let's play it through let's say Reparations happen....THEN WHAT?
No lets not play because it is not a game. I most certainly do not despise Christianity, that is your way of refusing to engage with anything in a meaningful or adult way. I have many friends who are practicing Christians and I have no interest in lecturing anyone, but you don't get to censor replies that reveal the inconsistencies of your own argument. It was you who said , and I quote

"I would rather burn my money, my home, and all possessions and salt the Earth on which I have planted so that nothing ever grows on it again than have it pay for sins I never committed."

So if you are going to invoke Biblical language and use the threats that your God's enemies used against his people, do not be surprised when it is pointed out to you how stupid and hugely unchristian such an argument is. And yes you are terrified, absolutely bricking it to be honest. Why else would you react in the way you have if it was not something you had a problem examining the merits of.

Have you read the Essay?

Your nation is already divided, so much so that a lot of that divisive bullshit has leaked out and is informing the mindset and actions of people outside your countries precious borders. Informing yourself is never a backward step and even the act of examination itself is transformative.
