It’s off topic because the thread is literally about reparations for Black people.
And the answer is reparations for every victim of Amerikkka. There’s no need to pick and choose. You just want to pit people against each other so no one gets anything.
But I didn’t? The thread is about reparations for Black people, so that’s what I talked about. Then y’all started whatabouting about Natives who also deserve reparations, as if I don’t support them just because I support reparations for Black people.
And when you attacked me for it, I openly said “reparations for all of Amerikkka’s victims!” And that’s not fucking good enough for you crackers, because the point is to make sure no one gets reparations and whitey never pays for his crimes.
I don’t believe reparations for slavery should be second, so no. We can talk about them both at the same time. There’s no need to put them against eachother like you are so clearly doing.
But we’re not talking about both. That was never under consideration until people like me demanded it.
It’s still not under consideration at any official level.
This idea of reparations for Black people and only Black people - which, make no mistake, is what the “reparations” discussion as a whole is about - is bullshit. For California, at least.
In 1946, Congress created the Indian Claims Commission, a body designed to hear historic grievances and compensate tribes for lost territories. It commissioned extensive historical research and ended up awarding about $1.3 billion to 176 tribes and bands. That was not nearly enough and a lot of those funds were mismanaged by the government (big surprise), but it’s more than the literally nothing that Black people got.
You just don’t want Black people to have reparations, and I’m skeptical you even want Natives to have full reparations. You just want to pit people against each other so no one gets anything and whitey gets away with all his crimes like he always fucking does.
It’s only off topic because you guys refuse to address the topic.
But yes. Literally, what about native Californians. Answer the question.

So are you in agreement that we should talk about reparations to natives first? Not “also”, not as an afterthought. First.

Congress gave natives a pittance. That has nothing to do with California reparations.
