Reparations for slavery...... yay or nay?

[TitoFan]

If I may weigh in on that..... (may I?)


I would side with the veterans on this one. It's a more measurable issue. It's fairly recent in comparison to slavery. It was a clear injustice with dollars and cents (or pounds) attached.

The fact that the government says it's too much trouble to go back and do the necessary investigations does not hold water. Frankly it's B.S.

At least that's MY opinion. It's what divides opinion between people. But in this case it was a clear wrong that should be righted.

victimhood is a pit you'll never escape because compassionate people keep pushing you back in

That statement is a bit of a nothingburger and really is irrelevant to the subject of reparations. Taking control and fighting to right an injustice is not an example of a narcissist or someone with a victim mentality playing out a role. Empathy is not a weakness it the reason we as humans have evolved such complex social systems and got where we are as a human race. When people blame their parents for not doing well in life or the absence of a parent for their own narcissism, then yes of course people can be fooled into playing the part of an enabler or mirror for the victims own projections. When a person though is actually financially, emotionally, socially and politically actually held responsible for the sins a parent never even committed, in a very real sense it is hugely dishonest to pretend that they are just suffering from buying into a victim mentality.


When a society tries to bury the denial of justice as if it were a mere trifle, an insignificant side note, you end up with statements like yours. I do not know you personally, so i will assume it is something you are repeating, but it sounds like the words of someone trying to punish others for their own unaddressed issues.

Read beaners first sentence in his response and clip it for a working definition of exaggerated sense of purpose

so i will assume

that's your mistake. victimhood engineering. we distribute victimhood like free samples at the mall. racism is a corporate mind control tactic designed to groom victims

Transgender is racial??

Transgender is racial??

Thanks for that catch. I'd missed that one. Gonna add it to my nugget collection.

I have no racial hangups.

What's a racial hangup ?

You’ve been taught to think of blacks in monolithic terms

Masculine men like me always stay in control.

Man..... these are some true nuggets. Please keep them coming. You are entertaining as long as you understand your place here.

Got another couple nuggets here for my collection.....

The gun is a racial issue. The transgender issue is racial
