Anyone else here blind to the concept of humanity?

Anything that would make them feel like they saved me in sense

Because I feel like they have a savior complex with a false sense of superiority.

Whether that be getting over a obstacle that would require a lot of thinking requiring math or a job

Lol. Math.

As a black man I think we should get our reparations and that the Democratic Party should put this forward or free college

Other groups have gotten reparations I don’t think it would be out of the normal for us to get them too

We are estimated at about 40 million of the US population there’s not a lot of us

"Just don't lecture me about quadratic functions and shit"

I honestly feel like reparations is not a bad idea, but anything that resetera would accept as being reparations will 100% be completely unrealistic.

I remember a conversation on it on GAF (with obviously many of the same people) and nothing other than extra large cash payments counted. I remember the most popular idea is each black person should get cut a check for like $200K.

Yeah, dude, I’m sure people are willing to just drop 8 Trillion dollars on cutting checks to black people. If the Democrats want Trump to win again they’ll get right on proposing that.

In reality it should be about investing in schools and communities and maybe subsidizing education. In reality the smartest way to get something like that passed is to avoid talk about reparations, and just talk about helping struggling families with a wink and a nod to realizing that African Americans are more likely to fall into that bucket.

Also interesting to me that Ta-Nehisi Coates hung up his Racial animosity pen to write comic books full time. He’s a talented writer but his “woe is me, Amerikkka is so racist that nothing can ever ever improve shit got old”

Give black people something like 1st Nation Status and don’t collect taxes from them.

I honestly feel like reparations is not a bad idea, but anything that resetera would accept as being reparations will 100% be completely unrealistic.

On a moral level, sure. But it really should have happened at the end of the civil war, with the promised 40 acres and a mule.

Today?

It would have to work like a legal settlement; as in "Here's your money, in return you never get to complain about slavery or institutionalised racism ever again" because that money is supposed to address that and draw a line under it. Move on. People would be 'supposed' to use that money to do things like open businesses, create community banking schemes, community hospitals, community schools, community housing, political campaigning, and all the other things that would directly and meaningfully improve things. And if it isn't enough when combined as a community, bad luck, because thats all there is.

Just like any other lawsuit settlement. Its an apology you inherently accept by taking the payment.

In reality the people who use that money to benefit their communities are not going to be happy when in 10 years time the people who take that cash and piss it away on flatscreen TVs and sportscars are then giving them shit about their 'privilege' and demanding more.
Other minorities (including black americans of voluntary immigrant descent) aren't going to be happy they didn't get shit, because they're not going to get reparations from the US if they weren't a victim of the US slave trade.
Anyone who's been screwed by 'the system' in general who don't happen to have slave ancestry are going to be equally as pissed for the same reasons.

It wouldn't solve any underlying tensions between the 'haves' and the 'have nots', it would just shuffle the pieces around a little.
Especially if the criteria for eligibility was based on being able to prove ancestry, or was based on some kind of existing 'citizenship' metric, such as the right to vote. Either way, a lot of people end up cut out of that.

The actual money raising isn't the tough part. You can print bonds, you can do a one off income percentile tax (on the assumption those doing best off now have benefitted the most from the system), or you can sell some assets, or take out some (more) loans. But you'd escalate resentment amongst the populace literally everywhere.

edit:
tl;dr - giving individuals a lump cash sum is about the worst possible way to try and fix anything.

So, what would be the solution here? War? Segregation? I mean, if you hold contempt for a race as a whole, how would you even handle racial issues in a civil manner? You can't get help from a 15 year old white kid because you think he'll stab you in the back 10 seconds later? This is insane.

Being fair, is just BCT being stupid and openly racist. Most people will accept help regardless

I think there is room to make policies that redress specific wrongs in a way that makes sense.

For example, every descendant of a black WWII vet that was denied the GI Bill (or didn’t use it) gets some sort of college tuition assistance.

Every family that’s deacended from Chicago redlining gets reduced rate on a mortgage, etc.

You’ll still run into the problem of “proving it” but I think these types of reparations make intuitive sense to at least a decent-sized plurality of the population.

Of course, the news will still find a way to interview the most ignorant ghetto motherfuckers to come on tv and say “fuck school, I want a lifetime supply of Bapes and Cadillacs” and public support will go into the shitter overnight.

Actually this was addressed on GAF too. The usual suspects thought this was insufficient cause somehow the system would conspire to fuck black people and it didn’t “count” if white people got it too.

It’s some real crabs in a barrel shit.

"Story spoilers"

[benjipwns]

The worst ramification of this, is that people are illegally downloading and pirating the game, and that is the only way to play Smash Ultimate, is piracy. Not only that, but people who are pirating the game are masquerading as people who got "early review copies"


This has been truly horrible, and such an egregious way to "leak" a game, spoil the game for the rest of us, damage the name of journalism. I really hate that I cannot share my thoughts on the game, or read up on threads for fear of getting spoilers. It is horrible that these people are getting off and away with this, all within the name of piracy. People are certainly welcome if they get a game early, and everything. That is certainly on retailers, but for other people to get the experience early via piracy is just awful.

Before the Smash leaks, nobody downloaded games illegally.

Now someone might be playing an illegal copy of the game, rather than being a legitimate journalist.

iirc, there's some third company that "finds" these people for them and it basically just scans articles from linkedin/medium/tumblr/blogs/etc. it may also do the "hiring" which consists of an e-mail and then signing up through some site for payment details

She stole jokes from everyone.

Its pretty hard to come up as a woman in comedy. The fact that she stole a lot of her material from lesser known female comedians instead of bringing them up is pretty fucked up.

I find I like comedians, male and female, that don't resort to talking about fucking. Its so hacky. And i'm finding a lot of women trying to be "one of the guys" by regurgitating the same dirty jokes we've heard time and time again.
