Notice they aren’t asking their fellow blacks for help or money.

Reparations were paid in full during 1863-65

How sad is that. There was once a time when there was shame in being on the dole, a stigma attached, and not by the rest of society, but a self-imposed shame.

Those days are long gone.

Hitler slaughtered six million Jews so I guess every Jew in the world should be marching and asking for reparations.<<<

The Democrat Party has beat every charitable atom out of my body.

My sentiments exactly. Well expressed. We now have a gazillion people getting food stamps but last month there were three major food drives in Houston alone.

Local TV also did a huge story about a young lady who was feeding lots and lots of little kids lunch. Where were their mothers and why weren’t they fixing lunch for them? Just how much effort does it take to fix a pb&j sandwich and a piece of fruit? Our local Dollar Tree has bread, peanut butter and jelly. Pick up some small apples at the store - 3 for $.99 - and milk for $1.99. For less than $10 you can feed at least two kids for lunch for a week.

Good grief.

Maybe someone can teach these folks’ kids not to attack policemen.

The project name, Reparations, may evoke some divisive reactions, but Marin said the word does not have to be about a specific historical event.
“It's really about making something that's broken, fixed. And being generous is a great way to fix that feeling in your spirit.

Words have traditional meanings. Assigning new meanings to them can only be the goal to confuse or deceive.

Or this person is more illiterate than she cares to admit; assuming American English is her first language

What you posted is true. However, every pennyspent on food cuts into the dope stash. Besides. that is what food stamps are for.

When I was growing up, our parents fed us. Every member of the family sat down at the table and ate. The only exceptions to this was when someone had to work.

YOU BETTER PATENT THAT!!!!!..That’s a keeper!!

Thank you. But feel free to use it. I want it to go viral so I'm donating it to the cause.

'Cause that's just the kind of guy I am.

Daamn!
As a racist I am an abject failure.

I assumed, without much thought, that the snowflake subject of the thread was white. (the required white guilt thing).

“There was once a time when there was shame in being on the dole, a stigma attached, and not by the rest of society, but a self-imposed shame.”

Because it WAS shameful, they did away with food stamps and went to EBT cards. Looks just like a credit card, scans like a credit card, no shame required.

[MoochPooch]

What they call “reparations” I call “charity,” plain & simple.
