Of all the stupid ideas that anyone on either side of the political spectrum has ever come up with, the idea of reparations to black people for slavery has got to be #1 on the list. (If not #1, then #2.)
At this point let me give anyone who's reading this a warning: you may not like some of the things I'm going to say. I'm going to say some very disparaging things about the people who support the lunatic idea of reparations, and that covers both black AND white people. So if you're gonna throw the "racist" accusation at me, you can just shove that up your backside right now. Besides, the truth ain't racist.
So, having said that, let's get at it.
To me, reparations is nothing more than a "get rich quick" scheme devised by a certain segment of the black community and supported by a certain segment of the white community (spelled L-I-B-E-R-A-L-S), a way to get money without having to actually work for it. It's just another manifestation of the victim mentality that some in the black community have been practicing for literally decades, and it's only getting worse. To me, there is nothing more insane for anyone regardless of color to have to pay anyone else regardless of color a monetary fee in any amount for an act that may or may not have been committed by someone's ancestor to another person's ancestor more than 160 years ago. Comedian Rob Schneider summed it up best when he said (and this is a direct quote), "It's like paying child support for a child you never had with a woman you never fucked."
And he's 100% correct.
But let's say that this stupid idea comes to fruition as it has in Kalifornia. Let's look at some of the stumbling blocks that are invariably going to be in the way of implementation of this moronic idea.
Who would actually pay? All white people? Or just the descendents of those whose ancestors did actually own slaves? And how do you prove who owned slaves and who didn't? And who pays for this research?
Who would actually get the money? All black people? Or just the descendents of those whose ancestors were actually slaves? And how do you prove whose ancestor was a slave and whose wasn't? And again, who pays for this research?
How about black people whose ancestors were slave owners? Would they have to pay reparations as well? They did exist, you know. And Sunni Hostin, she of the diarrhea mouth on "The Veiw" can verify that as someone traced her family tree and found that she's descended from a black slave holder. Additionally, the wealthiest slave holder in South Carolina as of 1861 was a freed black man who himself owned more than 100 slaves, more than anyone else in the entire state. And yet again, who's going to pay for the research?
How much would the payment be per person? Certainly not the FIVE MILION DOLLARS EACH that the state of Kalifornia just approved. So how do you determine how much is paid?
How would the money be paid out? Would the payments be made to one central agency and then the payouts be handled from there? If so, who's gonna pay for that to happen? Because nothing is free, you know, despite what the libtards want you to think. And how can you guarantee that 100% of the money is paid out and not absconded with via fraudulent means? (This would especially be true in Kalifornia and Minnesota.)
But let's get back to the basic fact that reparations is a stupid idea. Nobody in this century owes anyone else in this century anything for something that was done two centuries ago by their ancestors. And don't even start with the "systemic racism" shit because that dog won't hunt. Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that's bullshit (which leaves out most liberals and anyone supporting the idea of reparations).
And if that's not enough for you, there's this: Approximately 330,000 Union soldiers died freeing the slaves. And that number includes black soldiers as well as white soldiers. As far as I'm concerned, that debt - if there ever was one - has been paid in full with the blood of those dead soldiers, both black and white.
The fact is this: the demand for reparations is nothing but greed, pure and simple. It's a way for those in the black community that are too fuckin' lazy to work for a living to have someone hand them money for doing absolutely nothing.
And that's something I will NEVER support, regardless of who's trying to pull it off.
So here's the bottom line that a lot of people aren't going to like, but it's the truth: reparations will never happen. Never. And those in support of this stupid idea better get used to it, because no amount of pontification, yelling, screaming, and protesting is going to change it.
And that's the truth.
