Owknows
People give you answers and you really dont wanna hear it. You just wanna people to agree with you because you dont believe in reparations

Re: Who does America owe reparations
After the 21st century deficit spending, yes, I believe that grim result is correct. We may end up with war at China over a $50T unpair debt within a decade.
I don’t disagree with you, we are similarly minded here, I guess I am just one more step towards accepting this ill fate.

Re: Who does America owe reparations
I have another question about race and equality. And wasn’t sure which thread to put this.
So I was at my sons lacrosse practice this morning. This location has two turf fields side by side. His team was on one field. The other field was not assigned. There was a black male decked out in Dematha gear. Head to toe, with hat also. He had two high school aged boys on the field. They looked to be doing drillls, running, stretching, catching. No problem. People use the fields when they aren’t assigned to teams that pay for the use. Not my concern. This man/coach had a boom box playing music. It was loud. (I walk around the track of these two fields for exercise). I could clearly hear the lyrics from the opposite side of the field. It was loud. Now I don’t usually listen to rap music. And I have heard that sometimes the rappers use nig&er in the lyrics. And it is cool. But whites can’t say it. That ain’t cool. Well, no exaggeration. The 4 -5 songs I hear while walking all used that word constantly. Like every 3rd to 4th word was nig&er this and nig&er that. Almost as if these 4 or 5 songs were just singing about the word.
So if the word is so bad. And whites can’t say it. Why as a black adult, representing a prominent high school, with two children, would you be blasting that. I was imagining going into an urban setting and taking over a basketball court, and blasting some neonazi crap while waving a confederate flag.
Can the black posters respond with some type of justification for this behavior? If I would ha e said something, would i have been the racist?

Re: Who does America owe reparations
I will say this it's like being a part of a club which you are not apart of.Now I don't use the word myself unless its music. Now I couldn't say wetback to a Mexican but they can use it amongst each other which I hear all the time here in Texas. its their club their thing if they wanna take the power of the word they can. You dont have to agree but it is how it is. If you follow what in saying. This is not an attack either it's all love and about education
