I don't like the survey question. Justice is justice. What is this social justice stuff.

Precedence says yes. Also, American slave owners got reparations for lost property, but the labor wasn't paid for lost wages.

I just want to be left alone.

If you want to increase racism and make all parties involved more resentful, go ahead and enact reparations. It’s just another unwarranted, immoral redistribution of wealth on top of the unwarranted, immoral redistribution of wealth from slaves who died well over a century ago. Nothing else will be accomplished except assuage the guilt of some descendants of slaveowners by giving all living descendants of slaves money from people who for the most part aren’t descendants of slaveowners.

Reparations are fine for things that actually happened in the recent future, to people who are still alive.

Slavery was a long, long, time ago.

I think it's kind of problematic. The former slaves are dead since long ago. Slave owners and people who supported the system are also long dead.

So people who never owned slaves will give reparations to people who never were slaves.

What do you mean "black people" and who will pay these reparations?

This is a really difficult subject. I do believe there should be some. But I dont believe it should be in a monetary way. I would be better if the lineage were given ways to support themselves better. Government jobs, paid scholarships. But it is hard to determine who would get them, and for the people that cant trace their lineage, they are screwed. So it is a very hard subject. It will be hard to please everyone. I also think the plantation owners and their lineage should also have to pay a price. But you have to remember, it was legal in the past. What they were doing may not have been right, but it was legal. So there is a lot of gray area.

I vote no, I think it is the most fair.

Of course no never

Absolutely not. There is no sound solution. If we could find a way to give some resources to black people that are over 60 that deserve it, then I am all for it. But there hasn’t been a solution that is remotely plausible.

It should not be monetary. No one alive today directly participated in or was directly affected by slavery so making someone pay money to someone else doesn’t make sense. That would have been best to do as soon as slavery was abolished.

I think if anything it should be assistance with education tuition similar to what the GI bill did after WWII.

We need reparations for white people. Far more whites have been killed and far more has been robbed from us in taxes and robberies than ever was taken from blacks.

I don’t have opinion on this.

If this

is the definition of extortion, why should reparations be the extortion then? You argue that slavery was not extortion because it was lawful at some point. If this is the only argument, you can make a law to make repartition lawful, can’t you?

Look at the poll

Try voting

@k00b I can’t display my choice to select

Looks like there is a bug in polling or I made a mistake

not sure how people are voting

no - reparations is extortion

tf are you tagging me in this? Neither you or me live in the US or know anything on the topic

I think they are due-if actions made against their person was made. Black folks are unfortunately more reliant on gov't assistant, but this is by design. They must be aware of the system. Then, file for SPC to become a private man/women, then justice against their person can be served if they still desire so.
