race based reparations weeds them out quick.
The Union literally wanted to do this after the civil war, but I guess its not enough money or something.
yeah but then this kerfuffle happened at a play
Or any mention of reparations for Black people. Critics will go on and on about how infeasible they supposedly are. Basically, they think that Black people's hardships are less serious than every other groups' and that literally everyone would have to get reparations before they do, thus making the process too expensive.
which is made extra ironic because fucking Italians have gotten more reparations than black people. SLAVE OWNERS got reparations. america loves handing out reparations just not to black people.
What the fuck.... This can't be real
The U.S. came under pressure from Italy after there were practically no consequences for the New Orleans officials who allowed the killings to take place. Italy demanded that members of the lynch mob face justice and that the government pay reparations to the victims’ families. Members of the lynch mob were never punished, but the government paid $25,000 to the families.
and thats 25,000 in 1892 money. no reparations for the 4700 known black lynching victims
