...not paying reparations to black Americans for slavery, Jim Crow and other injustices the US did to them?
Over the years, I’ve noticed that every time the issue of reparations to black people for slavery (and other injustices) is brought up, there is an avalanche of non-black responders making venomous responses typically in the form of: “why should I pay for something that I had nothing to do with? blah blah blah!”
Another one is: “why should today’s blacks get reparations when it was their ancestors these things happened to, not them? blah blah blah!” (Never mind that millions of blacks are still alive who suffered Jim Crow and never mind that blacks as a whole are still suffering the legacies of slavery psychologically, socially and economically.)
The dishonesty and hypocrisy in these people’s behavior is unbelievable. I keep wondering why white Americans can’t just come clean and admit the real reason they don’t want blacks getting reparations, which is that they hate them, instead of hiding behind phony pretexts.
So I want to see how they spin this one. How do they justify their silence when the US government under Obama gave millions of dollars to white Jews despite the fact that the holocaust happened a long time ago and the US wasn’t even responsible for it. Where was their outrage? What happened to “Get over it!!” or “Why should I pay for something I had nothing to do with?” and all those phony excuses they use to deny reparations to black people?

The money was for holocaust survivors, elderly many of them living in poverty, it was never "reparations" The funds split up over 5 years were to help with such things as hearing aids for those to poor to afford them.
Uh, he did? Where did you hear that? Didn't happen.
the majority of slaves were legally bought under the african laws that held at the time , their argument is with africa not america , tribal laws were and still are brutal , the whole issue of slavery was repulsive , it has existed in africa for thousands of years
Haven't you heard? Obama isn't president anymore. We don't owe blacks anything because of what he did. And we don't owe them MORE reparations. It's time for them to stand on their own two feet now. It will be good for them.
I'm not sure what you are talking about Obama giving white Jews money. Anyway, I reject your premise that choosing not to give someone money automatically means I hate them. When you have a valid premise I will discuss this. Until then, I won't.
Oh man - the bullsh*t lies that republicans have to make up now so you won't think of what a piece of dog sh*t TrumpTreason is.
Republicans getting desperate!
