Why are white people sending unsolicited donations to their black friends - or forking it over to total strangers? The phenomenon may have begun as satire, but like so many jokes in 2020, “mini-reparations” have become reality.
With race relations in the US front and center ever since last month’s police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, some people are taking the matter of reparations for slavery into their own hands. Guilty white people sending unsolicited cash donations to their black acquaintances – or eagerly responding to calls for cash from random social media accounts purporting to be needy black folks – has become so common that “Venmo” (an online money transfer service) was trending on Twitter on Thursday and Friday, converging with the Juneteenth holiday that commemorates the end of slavery.
…
Not everyone felt compunction about taking guilty white liberals’ money, however. Numerous social media users started threads inviting black people to leave their CashApp and Venmo tags to make things easier for white users to unload their privileged pennies all at one go.

Modern day indulgences
There are going to be a lot of Nigerian scammers jumping into this.
You may take your reparations and shove them up your reprobate mind.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
LOL! Probably true.
Anyway, I’ve never liked Venmo because it’s never seemed very secure to me. I usually choose PayPal because it seems more secure and the transactions are very smooth. It’s as leftist as the rest of the big financial companies, but at the moment it doesn’t seem to be trying to drive away its normal human being customer base. Yet.
I just went down to the train station and opened my lap top case, seated with a large sign: “Support Juneteenth “
I made 20 thousand dollars in 9 hours.
And I am not even black! ( sarc,)
Tax deductible?
I am 110% in favor of repatriations.
I think it is a pretty damn good insult that cant be taken as an insult.
Like a pat on the head.
I need to try it at next year’s White Republicans Freed the Slaves day.

That would make some sense, if those white people actually owned slaves at one time. Otherwise, it’s evidence of a mental illness.
>>There are going to be a lot of Nigerian scammers jumping into this.<<
I think you can’t call them “Nigerians.” I think it “Blasckammers.”
Juneteenth, the day the Republican Party freed the slaves from the Democrats. Libs are paying tips upon this realization.
Because they're stupid??
I have been an employed tax payer since 1973, so I have already been making contributions.
Since the slaves didn’t emancipate themselves, shouldn’t blacks be donating to whites?
Baizuo are the worst.
Think again, fools.
That’s on Russia Today. They are watching their former adversary as it enters the final stage of its dissolution. There is no need to nuke us. Just a few more years.
