5:49 lol i think him bringing up the bible cost him the debate cause not all americans believe in the bible, reparations of black? Why? History is history they got their freedoms now, but they also got something that many ppl want from around the world. AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP, that is their reparation.
reparations for slavery? WHAT THE FUCK... im not rascist, but seriously, all african american have cloths, shelter and food... in africa you would be worse... and our "reparations" are the fact that we send tons of aid to africa... AND what about muslims? muslims were the first to enslave africans... that was a stupid question, enjoy your iphones and shut up
People like this black guy who blame all their problems on a group of people, many of whom are worse off than him, based on what their dead ancestors did, rather than their real living enemies, the high earners and hoarders of wealth who oppose progressive tax, universal health and tertiary education, social safety nets, rehabilitation of criminals (mostly poor) & drug addicts, state efforts to raise employment, anything that would help the poor, instead he attacks the dead guy's descendants?
What would this black guy's life be like if his ancestors weren't enslaved; still in Africa, starving and riddled with disease, enslaved by one of the black slavers living there. Poor white people's lives, if their ancestors could have taken the jobs his occupied would probably be better off, more equal. As if the people who actually did this were still alive, as if the idea that all blacks are worse off than whites is credible when a black man is running for president let alone in office.
reperations? is that a joke???????? NO!! NO! aint racist, but no absaloutly not. get a job, get over it, your not getting money for a unjust government policy more than two hundred years ago, and a policy that ended more than forty years ago. it's the presidental debate, and this dude's asking for reperations, u got platform to call the candidates out on mis use of power and u ask that! what a joke. the governments broke pal. slavery and racuial in equality didnt even happen in your generation.
I would suggest you read the book Slavery by Stanley Elkins or the Moynihan Report. To better understand the logic behind the idea, by the way its not just free loaders that want reparations any sociologist is likely to agree with the reparations idea.
My argument is: I never did anything to that specific African American, so why should MY money go to him for something my ANCESTOR did to his ANCESTOR? What is the logic behind reparations after this argument is made? That person never suffered any kind of slavery (and don't cop out by saying low economic status) and I have never in my life committed any act that is even remotely similar to enslavement, so why should I be punished and he be rewarded/compensated? It's preposterous and absurd!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Thats all democracts want to do. Take money from people who earned it, and give it to fat, drug-addicted, uneducated, ignorrant people. Oh yeah, and let homos get married.LOL
I think Hilary should definitely be our next president. If not Clinton then it's Obama instead we do not need another Republican they have been in power for too long and they haven't made much of a difference. Democrat's this year! Hilary!
i agree with obama, in that the money should go into education, where as a student you can earn it by hmmmm.... working for it, and getting a scholarship? slavery gave all the other major races a 400 year head start and in all factuality my grandmother's grandmother was a house slave, so in that respect how can we say it was so long ago? and hello? no written language? no technology? what about the great libraries of alexandria and egypt? (... that would be in africa, just in case you forgot)
reparations for what. not one soul today was a slave, who will the reparation go to? not even their parents or grand parents were slaves, because this happen 150 years ago
and whatequality - shut up. are you jealous that white people have nothing unless they copied it from some other culture? get over yourself and come back to 2008. to further add - white people love to buy drugs. your ass is probably high now. consider your self super soaked.
Who do we have that would have our back. Nobody. They stole us and now we have to fend for ourselves. We dont need to ask for reparations. We will make due for ourselves.
America has bent the Native Americans over and did it hard with no lubrication. Confining them to alcohol and gambling isnt exactly what i call a reparation. If that's what you want then please be my guest. The Japanese got something back because America knew that Japan would tax that ass.
What angers me about the reparation issue is that blacks are the only group that has been oppressed by the American government in American history that hasn't gotten reparations. We were promised, but never received anything. Native Americans did and still do to some degree. Japanese Americans did after WWII and placing them in the camps. Do they deserve reparations, yes. All I want to know is why not us?
America is broke as hell. We aint gettin no reparations. And even if America had the money what amount would you be satisfied with? WWJD? He wouldnt ask for reparations. Move on - new drink.
you sure as hell weren't a slave why the fuck do you deserve free money ( sorry for the vulgarity there but I'm heated) all you hope for is to get this money for nothing so will and all the other proponents of reparations just shut the fuck up and start thinking about how lucky you are to have been brought here in the first place
and on a final note why do you Will even deserve reparations the music your culture creates ( gangster rap in particular and a few other ) is a plauge that poisons our youth into thinking that selling drugs and the "thug" life is cool.
without the "White" intervention you would be living like the Africans in Africa now.
i think that you should thank the white settlers who brought your ancestor here for what you have now. which i might add is more freedom than whites have. you have the united negro college fund. is there a white college fund? NO because it's "racist" and that(pardon my French here) is bullshit. many other examples are out there
The "white" settlers are the reason that Africans live the way they do now. Africans were fine living in a hunter gatherer society. When Europeans came in they saw money on the land someone called home. You clearly don't know much about history.
hey there...you can't be serious. A fine living in a hunter gatherer society??? Without a written language, without the WHEEL, without modern technological advances or medical discoveries? Don't kid yourself, Europe did a lot of good for Africa, along with the outrages.
What I suggest you do is sit down with a black person (I'll even do it) and ask them why things like the United Negro College Fund exist. Hopefully, you will be enlightened by the conversation. FYI not all black people are eligible for money from the UNCF and if you went to a black college you would be eligible for a minority scholarship. At a non black college I wouldn't get a minority scholarship. It all balances its self.
when you go and take all the healthy, strong and smart individuals out of a country the country experiences a brain drain. how could africa advance and amount to anything under the conditions of famine, death and poverty? and may i point out that this country has the resources it does because of the nationalities it dismembered? you need to get down and thank all these other races white people stepped on to get where they are. addition without subtraction always leads to surplus.
Slavery? All the slaves are dead people. Lets move on. Shit happens, its over, deal with it. Stupid question. And these politicians are sneaky bastards. Dodging every question. Kucinich it a badass though. or a little guy he sure kicks some ass.
Reparations for slavery? Almost all people who argue for this never suffered from slavery - their grandparents, great grandparents, etc. suffered from it. So the people arguing for it now need to drop the subject and focus on more important things that exist presently.
Obama is fooling alot of people, like Bush in 2000. Ron Paul is the only candidate who speaks the truth.. He is the only candidate who wants to get rid of the illegal federal reserve which has been raping people since 1913. Average savings for americans is minus 2%!!! That means the fed res and the world bankers have all the money! They have effectively raped the american people and raped most of the citizens of this world. Elect Paul to finally stop these criminals
How do you know that OBAMA is fooling a lot of ppl? Don't just MAKE SHYT UP! Stick 2/t FACTS! How do u know with absolute certainty that RON PAUL is not fooling a lot of ppl?
i think black people are cowards, first they just got pushed around, killed, segregated, i think they should unite and start what the so call "Terrorist" have start, KILL as many white americans as they can and that will be the greattes repaid
There were lots of good points made and everything, but this whole debate with youtube is a bit too cute in my opinion...A good old fashioned straight up debate would be fine with me :)
We do not owe reparations to blacks for a problem 200 years ago. The African American community today suffers from other problems associated with the general public, but not from an issue 200 years ago. If you ask that question, we then have to think about reparations for Native Americans as well....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
reparations? black ppl dnt deserve 2 receive reparations all they have done 2 contribute 2 society is increasing crime levels and causing the deaths of pppl because of their stupidy and gangs, and please worked for 200 years for free and helped the economy my ass! which group contributes to the highest crime and mortality rates in the nation? if black people should get paid for shooting and killing then I would support that
i think black people are cowards, first they just got pushed around, killed, segregated, i think they should unite and start what the so call "Terrorist" have start, KILL as many white americans as they can and that will be the greattes repaid
looks like hiliray smoked a fattie with bill......i know wtf we shoulda all have money for being fuckied by our system slave days all over with and im from boston myself so take that question and shove it come on comming from boston noless more minorites get more hand outs there is balance in our system no more get over it LINCON SET U FREE NOW MAN UP thank u
Reperation for Black Slavery? Give me a fucking break, are kidding, what a piece of shitt, we are trying to move forward as Americans in this country, lets not talk about how we can make up for a mistake 150+ years ago, can't beleive they posted this assholes question. (btw, Be4 u reply, know that I have nothing agianst blacks, slavery was a tradegy, and I can't stand racism!)
What do you think this country was founded on?? Teh founding fathers were not worried about political correctness. They were concerned with moral correctness.
I agree. If a Muslim, or a Budhist could do a good job of bringing America back, I would support them. We are getting pulled into this Polarizing scheme of Republicans and Democrats. That's my issue with SOME conservative and SOME liberals, No one idea suits a nation, therefore you shouldn't hold everyone to one person's ideology.
A slavery reparation is a stupid idea. Why give money to the Mexican who land was stolen or the Japanese people who were inprisoned in camps during WWII or California wildfire victims or Irish immigrant or etc. Lets move on PLEASE
Why not grant these reparations to all of these ppl? Europe rob every continent it set foot on, so why not give back what was stolen. And I don't think its right that we can give away 30 billion dollars to another country for economic growth when you have ppl still homeless because of KATRINA. I know we aren't getting reparations, because America has selective Amnesia when it comes to it's wrong doings. And no, I will never get over it! That's the problem, your side of the tracks has.
I second that. If I commit a crime against someone, I am expected to pay for that crime, whether it be jail or repirations. White America has commited these and many other crimes and yes, they should pay. No, I wasn't a slave, but I ahve been deeply impacted by it.
White America?!?!?! You have been effected by slavory, SO WAS I, and Im not black.... There is no WHITE america, only the UNITED states... I owe you NOTHING
@josecruzrg83 We did give money to the Japanese internment victims idiot. How about you gain some sensitivity to black people and black issues and take a sociology class.
@internetpaper1 I've never met an intelligent black person.They've all caused me intense suffering with their pro ignorance evangelist ways.They're scum.I'll hate them until the day I die.
@josecruzrg83 I couldnt disagree more, except with the idea that reparations are stupid, because they are. I disagree with the idea of just moving on, because slavery, jim crow laws, and blatant racism has more than contributed to blacks (and other minorities) in the country having to struggle with poverty. However, instead of reparations we need to hold job fairs, increase funding in education, and invest in awaring children in poor neighborhoods on the dangers of gangs, drugs, and violence.
"I disagree with the idea of just moving on, because slavery, jim crow laws, and blatant racism has more than contributed to blacks (and other minorities) in the country having to struggle with poverty. "
I agree 100%
For some people, "moving on" is easy because they never faced the challenges of racism and inequality.
I do support reparations. I think that's what we should have been fighting for in the 60s. We build this nation's economy for 200+ years and did it for FREE. I don't care about have the ability to sit where I want to, or go to school where I please. I care about the ability to compete economically. That way we don't have to suffer these interest rates that are unfair.
Yes, invest in our schools and allow all kinds of books to be read. We are being hypnotized so that we believe they have more power than us. They have no power as they have created money out of thin air. Trillions have been stolen from Leo Wanta by the Clintons and The Bushes owned Bank of America. Find Wanta story on u tube.
I find the concept of a Youtube Debate to be hilarious. Obviously, there's a definite audience that they're trying to seek by doing this, but I think it's just keeping our young minds of this country ignorrant while instilling them with a feeling that they're getting all the answers, but that's CNN for you.
Why do we have to bring up religon!!!!!!!!I love being a catholic christian but I don't want to live in a country with a president who has purist outlook for our country WE NEED CHANGE!!!
We can mix politics with every other topic under the sun but NOT religion?? Stop treating religion like it's a second class citizen. This is America and we can bring up any topic, anytime we want to. Everybody else does. Let's stop the double standards against religion.
Religion should be a personal thing, because it is not a doctrine based on evidence. As soon as evidence is brought into play, it turns into philosophy or science. The truth is that most of the world thinks that America is on a holy crusade against Islam, and given the evidence it would be hard to argue against them.
Free healthcare does not work, unless you're okay with being put on a waiting list when you need an emergency surgery. How do you feel about illegal immigrants? You know that since they don't have insurance if they cross our borders with TB and need immediate medical attention. If health care were free, the illegals would have to wait to be treated and possibly spread TB to more people in the U.S. and possibly die.
"Is" African Americans! lol. What an idiot. The answer is NO! That SHOULD be the last thing on everyones minds. That isn't what is important, freeloader!
Did any of the candidates go to school in the US? Stay on topic, you get no credit if the answer had nothing to do with the question. It shows that some people would rather bash one another, to seem "better"..
What about reparations from corporations that profited from the slave trade, and still exist today? As legal persons under US law can't they be held responsible in a court of law? Just a question.
Name the corporations. And why would they be held accountable when they were profiting at a time when slavery was legal so they weren't breaking the law. Also, isn't there a statute of limitations that would be applied? It's been almost 150 years now. What are the reparations going to prove?
1) Aetna, JP Morgan Chase admitted to having participated.
2) The standards for civil court are different. The act in question doesn't have to have been criminal.
3) A statute of limitations on the enslavement of another human? Shameful thought, but maybe.
4) Prove? What is there to prove? That "decent people" profited and the US govt supported is the enslavement of millions is a fact. Still it might lead to something...
Does anyone else think Kucinich only brought up his Christian "values" because he knows most of America is Christian. Quite the weasel no? I seriously doubt he would have brought up his "Christian values" if Christianity and the Mormon Church or something traded spaces in how they are viewed by the general population.
Big Unions are more influential than drug, oil, and insurance companies. Because of the structure of campaign finance, companies are very limited in their ability to buy support.
Reparations...it's a difference of culture, where much of the African-American culture thinks "as a race", and "they" were hurt. Instead of recognizing that today's blacks were not slaves. They have problems caused by racial inequality and have every right to complain about those, but not things that weren't done to THEM (the individuals alive today).
We are a Nation that gives us freedom of religion not from religion..We base our basic laws from the ten comandments.this argument is just destuctive..you know.that is what its all about.we will be destroy ourselves from within.
NO FREEDOM Until they ban yearly property taxes and ban housing off of the stock-makets so that wallstreet pigs stop getting richer as the rest of society grow homeless, till then dont bother voting for any candidate. Support no liberalism til they ban housing inflation and property tax and abolish free markets. OR YOU WILL GO HOMELESS
I'm shocked here. America stands for no nationally established religion. That does not mean separation of church and state. It's called the establishment clause. It's not illegal to quote the Bible, that's a violation of what we history buffs call the "1st Amendment" Look it up and learn the facts folks! Kucinic is a little weasel, but don't rag on him for quoting the Bible.
will john edwards PLEASE shut up with the banks and the pharmaceutical company line??!! my goodness! just answer the damn questions, and quit with that line! lolol
dumb ass question black as whites in fight to keep america from mexican illegals stupid question not even an issue between blacks and whites stupid to bring up that history
i like ron paul too, except for his stance on healthcare. kucinich has a better stance on the issue... and just about the same as paul on most others. too bad he's a terrible speaker. then again, who could be more terrible than bumbling bush?
I like how they waste dodd's time in his youtube video time asking about his white hair. WTF, also anyone notice how the most popular canidates are in the middle of everyone? (I.E; hilary and barack)
man its funny how canidates quickly answer da question without a reason den proceed to use da rest of there time to discuss something COMPLETELY, NObody asked dat guy his track record why did he mention it it had NOTHING to do wit da question dats why i hate debates
hmm you mentioned that i stole from you, but alas i can not recall taking anything from you or the black comunity. perhaps my great grandfather, but not me. So tell me should we people who have done nothing pay for the crimes of our ancestors. would you send a murderers son to prison for the crimes of his father?
Oh and you display the mental pattern of a lazy uneducated fuck head who know little about history, economics or morality. tell me if it was the other way round would you be happy paying reparations to us?
Oh and i do love you playing the racist card, it shows that you can not back up your arguments. its like if you disagree with jews on the policy in Israel, your labeled as anti-semite.
LAZY?........Lazy is a sorry bastard that would travel land and sea to dsirupt the lives of STRANGERS to forcefully do work for him that he should do for himself.
The white supremacist caucasian american foremothers wrote the book on LAZINESS.
Your ill fated attmpt at reverse psychology (pimp logic) wont wash here.
Save that lame arguement for some BLACK person that worships caucasians and practices to never know HIS OWN history.
I know that its the white supremacist psychotic GOOD OLE BOY way to cover and defend your brethren, but you have fallen into the wrong place for that.
Most of you caucasian amerikkkans are down for any evil towards PEOPLE OF COLOR (particularly BLACKS)
and you are FRATERNAL IN WICKEDNESS.
You cover for each other in wrongdoing. IF you are southern baptist, then say so.
If you dont know history, then, thats you problem.
Don't use the same rationalization used by white supremacist to disfranchise blacks and other minorities. Oh, BTW, I would like to give you some praise for you are the only person on this page that I am aware of that used the word psychotic correctly in a sentence.
I think you to look in the mirror and realized you are the klansman. I have no ability to reflect? About you? Every time I refer to something you've commented you immediately dodge the point and resort to name calling. Don't be so immature.
Yet another attempt at dodging a point and name calling. I don't know if you are blinded or not but I have referred to my very own comments on many occasions, esp. when you try to dodge something. So how about it? Go back and try to take on all the questions and points that I've raised.
I have watched this exchange between you and proverbs for a while now.
Porverbs makes plenty of sense. You never acknowledged the relevant truths of his arguement. If you dont read much, then, its easy to understand why everything that this guy has said to you has gone straight over your head.
Are you referring to my lack of historical facts in my argument? It's true that I don't have the "facts" (of which I find to be a little biased and prejudice), but I my ideology to find logical fallacies within his argument. For instance, Proverbs6and16 implied that all white people are inherently evil. That is merely a generalization, or a logical fallacy.
The KKK's argument, like yours, sounds provocative, but completely ignores logic. (which is why I don't buy into both of them)Do you know what a logical fallacy is? Cuz you've got them all over your comments and implications. That's the only thing that I have a problem with you. Please do not think that debating is only through the exchange of historical facts. It is also an understanding the underlying logic of each conclusion drawn from "historical facts."
It's easy just to say that I'm stupid or that I lack facts or logic without having to produce any evidence that DIRECTlY support those assertions. No, I haven't read "See Spot," but I have read "Critical Thinking" by Moore and Parker in addition to taking some philosophy classes. Question: Why do you lash back even when I agree with you? Pour que, sinoir(ita)? Who is the author of See Spot? I might get a copy.
Unfortunately, you have no facts to debate with. You are all emotion and the truth that I tell you pisses you off but not enough to go and study.
Your dilemma is the worst type.
You underestimate the need for knowledge.
I don't cater to bloated caucasoid egos and if you are looking for that SLAVE ETIQUETTE, you are plum shit out of luck! Find a BLACK mentally your size to toy with. IM not that guy.
um...why do u keep referring to me as a caucasians? O BTW don't get angry. I'm just mirroring your method arguing, since you don't seem to respond to the traditional debating based upon critical thinking and logic.
Well said 5boogaloo, but you know that white supremacist psychotics don't read and study. They follow and ignorance based system of indoctrination. LEARNED SPRITUAL RETARDATION!
Edwards is a weasle who will say anything to be elected.
He is also southern baptist. southern baptists teach that blacks are cursed of ham. The kkk was also born in southern baptist. edwards response to the reparations question is the same as any klansman.
Both the democratic and republican party are corporate whores with zionist pimps. They don't answer to average joes. They promise average joe but deliver for american multinational corporations....PERIOD!!!!! (its just a lying contest).
Mike Gravel seems sincere. Kucinich to a much lesser degree.
"Is African Americans ever gonna get reperations for slavery?" UNEDUCATED. "Are Afican Americans" We should stand up and fight prejudicism, but why should we give anyone reperations?? Who alive today was a slave? Why should my tax money pay for someone else to get a reperation? I never owned any slaves??
Are you so dumb that you didn't understand the question that he asked or are you simply using sentence structure as a scapegoat because you , like your thieving forefathers, despise the thought of paying for what you stole. You are the benefactor of stolen wealth and BLACKS suffer from wealth stolen via the disconnection of the generational transfer of wealth.
Its funny, but I said in an earlier past that the way of the white supremacist psychotic is:
DENIAL, SCAPEGOATING, and SCORN.
megaerp is a prime example. You nailed it on the sentence structure scapegoating. As if you is soooo distracted by a minor grammatical flub that he can't decipher what he means. SO SO TYPICALLY WHITE SUPREMACIST PSYCHOTIC.
He then moves to scorn. Well actually, it began with scorn. They have nothing else.
ALL THE REST, However, are AIPAC PUPPIES and if you know AIPACS aspirations, then , you know where every one of the candidates are headed when SELECTED. Kucinich to a lesser degree.
War with Iran, Sudan, and the militant overthrow of all ISLAMIC nations that haven't compromised their integrity to be amerikkkas cabana boy.
Keebler elf...*giggle* CCC you have completely distracted me with your mention of Anderson Coopers hotness...now I can't concentrate properly. Darn you. And Edwards is really turning me off with his running in little circles.
Damnit, John Edwards, you didn't answer the first question, and for the second one, he muttered "No, I don't believe in reparations" under your, breath. But it was a good answer, and at least he answered it, sort of. And I'm starting to like Denis Kucinich, even if he does look like a Keebler elf.
onepunchmickey, the civil war had nothing to do with BLACKS though it utilized BLACK LABOR. The civil war was about caucasians saving the UNION.
Blacks never received the 40 acres and a mule that was promised to those BLACKS that helped you demons fight. Reparations was never mentioned, so, it was just another white supremacist HUSTLE. LIARS
urinalysis1212, Neither JESUS nor GOD condoned SLAVERY. Also, Jesus and the disciples never murdered and extorted anyone into becoming christian. In fact, Jesus never said the word "CHRISTIAN".
You are biblically illiterate. REVELATION 13:10 clearly says, "He that leads into slavery shall go into slavery and he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword; here is the patience and the faith of saints. "
Question: What about BLACK plantation owners who enslaved other blacks? Should the descendants of those BLACK plantation owners be held accountable as well?
What about caucasian irish catholics murdering caucasian protestants?
You will be held accountable for your role and the ceremonial white supremacist scapegoating of BLACKS will not save your tired arguement
Blacks have never ran the united states government, therefore, BLACKS are not responsible for slavery in the united states. You need to go to the kkk website and enhance your arguement with the words of those that have the balls to admit that they just HATE BLACKS. COWARD!
1. Why would running for government has anything to do with enslaving people? If you enslaved people, you enslaved people, committed a sin! And last time I checked, there's are many black representatives and government officials. That leaves with the question that you seem to be avoiding, Should the descendants of those BLACK plantation owners be held accountable as well?
Who is implying that there some other entities responsible for slavery in america? I didn't even anything that would imply blacks started slavery. So "that dimwitted statement" was not mine, it's yours. BTW, I don't have any "caucasian brethens." YOU NEED TO READ CAREFULLY!
You are a certified dope. You have nothing relevatn or intelligent to say, YET, you keep on making yourself look more and more stupid.
You should have left well enough alone with your first two post when you seemed to be honestly seeking truth. If you had hoped to hide the fact that you are a fool, you have blown your cover.
You have no knowledge , so you are impotent in debate.
what you dumb ass, the americans did not start the slave trade the dutch did. and in the begining black tribal leaders sold their citizen into slavery. yes, both black people and white people started slavery. and blacks were not the only people who were slaves, every race has been a victim of slavery at sometime.
Everyone has also had a cold. However, others having had a cold doesnt minimize the affects to the individuals who have had colds.
Likewise, you caucasian amerikkkan white supremacist scumbags always say stupid things like, " WELL EVERY ONE HAD SLAVERY," as if that somehow excuses you from the damage that YOU have personally done to BLACK PEOPLE. ESCAPISM/DENIAL.
There have also been people who got into car accidents that required PARAMEDICS. That , however, can't be used as some odd form of justification to excuse PARAMEDICS from providing service to future victims.
You have a SCAPEGOAT arguement. You are attempting to use slavery in EGYPT to justify america in her wrongdoing to BLACK AFRIKANS. As if slavery in EGYPT somehow justifies slavery in amerikkka.
that parademics argument makes no fucken sense. And no it no slavery justifies slavery of another race. he's merely pointing out to you that you are not the only fucken race that has been enslaved. Did you know that blacks at certain points in history had white slaves, so question your black, so wheres my fucken money.
The paramedic metaphor was so simple that children even understand it. YOU TRIED TO JUSTIFY AND TRIVIALIZE AWAY THE SLAVE SYSTEM OF amerikkkas and its cost to BLACK PEOPLE.
The only reason you mentioned slavery in egypt was to somehow attempt to justify and minimize the affects of the amerikkkan slave system on BLACKS.
You are white supremacist unrepentant scum like your fathers
5:49 lol i think him bringing up the bible cost him the debate cause not all americans believe in the bible, reparations of black? Why? History is history they got their freedoms now, but they also got something that many ppl want from around the world. AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP, that is their reparation.

reparations for slavery? WHAT THE FUCK... im not rascist, but seriously, all african american have cloths, shelter and food... in africa you would be worse... and our "reparations" are the fact that we send tons of aid to africa... AND what about muslims? muslims were the first to enslave africans... that was a stupid question, enjoy your iphones and shut up
wildboy789789 1 year ago
Kuchnick almost lost my vote by saying hell yes to reperations; until i found out he meant for poor people, even though he was asked for slave stock.
my ancestors were all serfs
obama descends from white nobility on his mothers side
should i get reperations from obama? for my serf ancestors?
hell yes ^_^ lol

People like this black guy who blame all their problems on a group of people, many of whom are worse off than him, based on what their dead ancestors did, rather than their real living enemies, the high earners and hoarders of wealth who oppose progressive tax, universal health and tertiary education, social safety nets, rehabilitation of criminals (mostly poor) & drug addicts, state efforts to raise employment, anything that would help the poor, instead he attacks the dead guy's descendants?
unassumption 1 year ago
What would this black guy's life be like if his ancestors weren't enslaved; still in Africa, starving and riddled with disease, enslaved by one of the black slavers living there. Poor white people's lives, if their ancestors could have taken the jobs his occupied would probably be better off, more equal. As if the people who actually did this were still alive, as if the idea that all blacks are worse off than whites is credible when a black man is running for president let alone in office.

reperations? is that a joke???????? NO!! NO! aint racist, but no absaloutly not. get a job, get over it, your not getting money for a unjust government policy more than two hundred years ago, and a policy that ended more than forty years ago. it's the presidental debate, and this dude's asking for reperations, u got platform to call the candidates out on mis use of power and u ask that! what a joke. the governments broke pal. slavery and racuial in equality didnt even happen in your generation.

I CAN NOT believe that a black person living in the United States actually thinks that they are OWED something because their ancestors were slaves!!!
UNBELIEVABLE. It was 200 years ago!
There are still black people out there today that use slavery as a CURRENT argument on why people should feel bad for them.

I would suggest you read the book Slavery by Stanley Elkins or the Moynihan Report. To better understand the logic behind the idea, by the way its not just free loaders that want reparations any sociologist is likely to agree with the reparations idea.
tonyac42 2 years ago
My argument is: I never did anything to that specific African American, so why should MY money go to him for something my ANCESTOR did to his ANCESTOR? What is the logic behind reparations after this argument is made? That person never suffered any kind of slavery (and don't cop out by saying low economic status) and I have never in my life committed any act that is even remotely similar to enslavement, so why should I be punished and he be rewarded/compensated? It's preposterous and absurd!

i agree with obama, in that the money should go into education, where as a student you can earn it by hmmmm.... working for it, and getting a scholarship? slavery gave all the other major races a 400 year head start and in all factuality my grandmother's grandmother was a house slave, so in that respect how can we say it was so long ago? and hello? no written language? no technology? what about the great libraries of alexandria and egypt?

What angers me about the reparation issue is that blacks are the only group that has been oppressed by the American government in American history that hasn't gotten reparations. We were promised, but never received anything. Native Americans did and still do to some degree. Japanese Americans did after WWII and placing them in the camps. Do they deserve reparations, yes. All I want to know is why not us?

without the "White" intervention you would be living like the Africans in Africa now.

NO because it's "racist" and that(pardon my French here) is bullshit. many other examples are out there

The "white" settlers are the reason that Africans live the way they do now. Africans were fine living in a hunter gatherer society. When Europeans came in they saw money on the land someone called home. You clearly don't know much about history.

What I suggest you do is sit down with a black person (I'll even do it) and ask them why things like the United Negro College Fund exist. Hopefully, you will be enlightened by the conversation. FYI not all black people are eligible for money from the UNCF and if you went to a black college you would be eligible for a minority scholarship. At a non black college I wouldn't get a minority scholarship. It all balances its self.

I disagree with the idea of just moving on, because slavery, jim crow laws, and blatant racism has more than contributed to blacks (and other minorities) in the country having to struggle with poverty. However, instead of reparations we need to hold job fairs, increase funding in education, and invest in awaring children in poor neighborhoods on the dangers of gangs, drugs, and violence.

Religion should be a personal thing, because it is not a doctrine based on evidence. As soon as evidence is brought into play, it turns into philosophy or science.

Name the corporations. And why would they be held accountable when they were profiting at a time when slavery was legal so they weren't breaking the law. Also, isn't there a statute of limitations that would be applied? It's been almost 150 years now. What are the reparations going to prove?
sixstringedstress 4 years ago
1) Aetna, JP Morgan Chase admitted to having participated.
2) The standards for civil court are different. The act in question doesn't have to have been criminal.
3) A statute of limitations on the enslavement of another human? Shameful thought, but maybe.
4) Prove? What is there to prove? That "decent people" profited and the US govt supported is the enslavement of millions is a fact. Still it might lead to something...

Reparations...it's a difference of culture, where much of the African-American culture thinks "as a race", and "they" were hurt. Instead of recognizing that today's blacks were not slaves.

Proverbs6and16 4 years ago
It's easy just to say that I'm stupid or that I lack facts or logic without having to produce any evidence that DIRECTlY support those assertions. No, I haven't read "See Spot," but I have read "Critical Thinking" by Moore and Parker in addition to taking some philosophy classes. Question: Why do you lash back even when I agree with you? Pour que, sinoir(ita)? Who is the author of See Spot? I might get a copy.

Unfortunately, you have no facts to debate with. You are all emotion and the truth that I tell you pisses you off but not enough to go and study.
Your dilemma is the worst type.
You underestimate the need for knowledge.
I don't cater to bloated caucasoid egos and if you are looking for that SLAVE ETIQUETTE, you are plum shit out of luck! Find a BLACK mentally your size to toy with. IM not that guy.
Proverbs6and16 4 years ago
um...why do u keep referring to me as a caucasians? O BTW don't get angry. I'm just mirroring your method arguing, since you don't seem to respond to the traditional debating based upon critical thinking and logic.

Well said 5boogaloo, but you know that white supremacist psychotics don't read and study. They follow and ignorance based system of indoctrination. LEARNED SPRITUAL RETARDATION!

Edwards is a weasle who will say anything to be elected.
He is also southern baptist. southern baptists teach that blacks are cursed of ham. The kkk was also born in southern baptist. edwards response to the reparations question is the same as any klansman.

Both the democratic and republican party are corporate whores with zionist pimps. They don't answer to average joes. They promise average joe but deliver for american multinational corporations....PERIOD!!!!! (its just a lying contest).
Mike Gravel seems sincere. Kucinich to a much lesser degree.

"Is African Americans ever gonna get reperations for slavery?" UNEDUCATED. "Are Afican Americans" We should stand up and fight prejudicism, but why should we give anyone reperations?? Who alive today was a slave? Why should my tax money pay for someone else to get a reperation? I never owned any slaves??

Are you so dumb that you didn't understand the question that he asked or are you simply using sentence structure as a scapegoat because you , like your thieving forefathers, despise the thought of paying for what you stole. You are the benefactor of stolen wealth and BLACKS suffer from wealth stolen via the disconnection of the generational transfer of wealth.

Its funny, but I said in an earlier past that the way of the white supremacist psychotic is:
DENIAL, SCAPEGOATING, and SCORN.
megaerp is a prime example. You nailed it on the sentence structure scapegoating. As if you is soooo distracted by a minor grammatical flub that he can't decipher what he means. SO SO TYPICALLY WHITE SUPREMACIST PSYCHOTIC.
He then moves to scorn. Well actually, it began with scorn. They have nothing else.

ALL THE REST, However, are AIPAC PUPPIES and if you know AIPACS aspirations, then , you know where every one of the candidates are headed when SELECTED. Kucinich to a lesser degree.
War with Iran, Sudan, and the militant overthrow of all ISLAMIC nations that haven't compromised their integrity to be amerikkkas cabana boy.

Damnit, John Edwards, you didn't answer the first question, and for the second one, he muttered "No, I don't believe in reparations" under your, breath. But it was a good answer, and at least he answered it, sort of. And I'm starting to like Denis Kucinich, even if he does look like a Keebler elf.

onepunchmickey, the civil war had nothing to do with BLACKS though it utilized BLACK LABOR. The civil war was about caucasians saving the UNION.
Blacks never received the 40 acres and a mule that was promised to those BLACKS that helped you demons fight. Reparations was never mentioned, so, it was just another white supremacist HUSTLE. LIARS
Proverbs6and16 4 years ago
urinalysis1212, Neither JESUS nor GOD condoned SLAVERY. Also, Jesus and the disciples never murdered and extorted anyone into becoming christian. In fact, Jesus never said the word "CHRISTIAN".
You are biblically illiterate. REVELATION 13:10 clearly says, "He that leads into slavery shall go into slavery and he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword; here is the patience and the faith of saints. "

caucasian amerikkkans call it bigotry when they are held accountable for te evil that they do. s if judgement is only for non white people.
Oddly, they had no problem gloating about SADDAM HUSSEINS media televised lynching but GOD FORBID that they hang from the same rope.
WHAT PRETENTIOUS PSYCHOTIC HYPOCRITES!!!

Question: What about BLACK plantation owners who enslaved other blacks? Should the descendants of those BLACK plantation owners be held accountable as well?
tyn234 4 years ago
What about caucasian irish catholics murdering caucasian protestants?
You will be held accountable for your role and the ceremonial white supremacist scapegoating of BLACKS will not save your tired arguement
Blacks have never ran the united states government, therefore, BLACKS are not responsible for slavery in the united states. You need to go to the kkk website and enhance your arguement with the words of those that have the balls to admit that they just HATE BLACKS. COWARD!
Proverbs6and16 4 years ago
1. Why would running for government has anything to do with enslaving people? If you enslaved people, you enslaved people, committed a sin! And last time I checked, there's are many black representatives and government officials. That leaves with the question that you seem to be avoiding, Should the descendants of those BLACK plantation owners be held accountable as well?

Are you implying that some shadow power , other than the united snakes government carried on the slave system in the amerikkka's?......LOL
LOL........LOL
You should audition for the local comedy club. That dimwitted statement is comic genius.
Blacks didnt start slavery in the amerikkka's.
Lets deal with your caucasian brethren who were the forefathers of world terrorism. I am soooooo shocked that you are not angry with them?
Proverbs6and16 4 years ago
Who is implying that there some other entities responsible for slavery in america? I didn't even anything that would imply blacks started slavery. So "that dimwitted statement" was not mine, it's yours. BTW, I don't have any "caucasian brethens." YOU NEED TO READ CAREFULLY!

You are a certified dope. You have nothing relevatn or intelligent to say, YET, you keep on making yourself look more and more stupid.
You should have left well enough alone with your first two post when you seemed to be honestly seeking truth. If you had hoped to hide the fact that you are a fool, you have blown your cover.
You have no knowledge , so you are impotent in debate.
Proverbs6and16 4 years ago
what you dumb ass, the americans did not start the slave trade the dutch did. and in the begining black tribal leaders sold their citizen into slavery. yes, both black people and white people started slavery. and blacks were not the only people who were slaves, every race has been a victim of slavery at sometime.
zzbullan 4 years ago
DENIAL, SCAPEGOATING, SCORN.
THE DUTCH DIDNT START SLAVERY IN AMERIKKKA.
RACE BASED SLAVERY WAS AMERIKKKAN MADE.
Everyone has also had a cold. However, others having had a cold doesnt minimize the affects to the individuals who have had colds.
Likewise, you caucasian amerikkkan white supremacist scumbags always say stupid things like, " WELL EVERY ONE HAD SLAVERY," as if that somehow excuses you from the damage that YOU have personally done to BLACK PEOPLE. ESCAPISM/DENIAL.

There have also been people who got into car accidents that required PARAMEDICS. That , however, can't be used as some odd form of justification to excuse PARAMEDICS from providing service to future victims.
You have a SCAPEGOAT arguement. You are attempting to use slavery in EGYPT to justify america in her wrongdoing to BLACK AFRIKANS. As if slavery in EGYPT somehow justifies slavery in amerikkka.
Proverbs6and16 4 years ago
that parademics argument makes no fucken sense. And no it no slavery justifies slavery of another race. he's merely pointing out to you that you are not the only fucken race that has been enslaved. Did you know that blacks at certain points in history had white slaves, so question your black, so wheres my fucken money.
zzbullan 4 years ago
are you sitting on his lap or something?
The paramedic metaphor was so simple that children even understand it. YOU TRIED TO JUSTIFY AND TRIVIALIZE AWAY THE SLAVE SYSTEM OF amerikkkas and its cost to BLACK PEOPLE.
The only reason you mentioned slavery in egypt was to somehow attempt to justify and minimize the affects of the amerikkkan slave system on BLACKS.
You are white supremacist unrepentant scum like your fathers
