Do you think reparations payments to AA people will improve or degrade the culture?

[lightbulb27]

I'm not asking if it's due or you support payments... don't go there.

Imagine that each person received $1,000,000 - $5,000,000 in their bank account. POOF!!!

Is their lives and the ensuing culture better... or worse?

Better - resources bring opportunity, reduce need for crime, resolves bitter emotions

Worse - $ brings more corruption, death

Same - emotional problems don't go a

Not sure or other

It's nothing to do with culture.

Also, reparations WERE paid, but to slave owners - not the poor bastards who were their slaves.

There is a lot more to it, but this is one reason why CRT is being blocked from being taught.

Mainly as slavery was not the worst thing that was done to Blacks by their White masters. From forced breeding even among enslaved siblings, to produce slaves to sell to human experimentation. A lot of the problems Blacks face, are down to what was done to them back them.

It would be like enslaving lions for generations in a cage and then suddenly releasing them into the wild expecting them to perform as well as the wild free lion.

I hadn't heard some of that. I agree the problems today are rooted in the past.
if someone wanted history taught they messed up in implementation.

I can't wait until they give a million dollars to every black person in California. I bet that in a year most of them will be broke again.

that's what I'm thinking and wondering... or worse... People don't learn to manage wealth and invest... in themselves and financially on a whim.
