New "reparations" website to pay back black folks

[jimnyc]

I'll never understand this. How many black folks alive today were slaves? Or even their parents? NONE. How many white folks alive today owned slaves? Or even their parents? NONE.

Why in the WORLD would I feel like I have to help someone with their rent, or ANYTHING for that fact, because their ancestors were treated horribly by white folks, and I happen to be white? This is what I think a 'part' of the problem today. Notice I said only part, so no one get angr. Yes, I know there are still issues today - but they should be addressed today - not get angry and then somehow go back in time 150 years. Let go of that shit, address whatever angers you today - but I'm not going to feel guilty over something that happened LONG before I was even a damn thought. And no one alive today should feel they are somehow entitled to $$$ for what happened long before they were even a thought.

New “Reparations” Website Asks Whites to Pay Black People’s Rent to Relieve Their Guilt
Self-loathing whites offer to clean for, massage & be shouted at by blacks to atone for slavery

A new “reparations” website asks white people to pay black people’s rent and give them money to relieve their white guilt.

The website, started by Seattle-based “conceptual artist” Natasha Marin, suggests a number of ways in which white people can atone for the fact that 1.4 per cent of white people owned black slaves in the United States over 150 years ago.

Examples on the site’s ‘about’ page include;

POC 3: I need groceries.

White Person 3: “I’ll get them for you. PM me and I’ll send an Amazon Fresh or Safeway delivery. You just pick out what you want. I have a $200 limit.”

POC 4: I’m too upset to make dinner. I live in Seattle.

White Person 4: “Come over to my house for dinner, bring a friend if you like. PM me and I’ll send you the address, or can I order delivery to you? What kind of food do you like?”

POC 6: I want to scream and cuss at someone.

White Person 6: “I volunteer as tribute. How do we set this up?”

POC 7: I want to escape this cruel world in a *Specific Videogame* but can’t afford it on Steam right now. This is not a crisis, I just don’t trust people easily and want to see if this works.

White Person 7: Thank you for giving me the chance to do something concrete and relatively easy. I was quietly hating myself for doing nothing.

Numerous white people beset with self-loathing have already offered a number of goods and services, including the free use of a car, house cleaning, massages, “catharsis,” and straight-up cold hard cash.

Black people have also posted messages on the site with requests for free laptops, a Kindle EBook Reader and recording studio access.

“I want my project fully funded or at least my phone paid for from here till December so I can stay in Boriken writing about Amerikkkan colonialism,” another man demands on the ‘Reparations’ Facebook page.

I'm in total agreement. Show me a slave. Show me a slave owner. What these morons might want to do is find which African tribe sold them to Dutch slave traders and sue THEM. Or, go back to Africa. They can explain their "Rights" in the Congo.

Full agreement, Gunny.

This is just pissing into the wind. It will only stick onto the pisser.

Typical election year bullshit from people that have no gumption to ever improve themselves.
I smell BLM and NBP in this crap.

call someone who cares

Hey everyone. There is a really simple answer to this. If any Black American DEMANDS to be paid reparations for what took place back in the 1800's, with Slavery, before the Civil War.

WE can make DEMANDS too! Demand that everyone asking for Reparations present a PHOTO ID when they go to VOTE for Hillary. When they complain that showing an ID is racist. SHAKE THEIR HAND, SMILE, and say "GOTCHA!"

I've gone fishing and given carps to Black folks. So I done paid my reparations.

Down here we give 'em the carp, the gar and the turtles.
Hey, its better than nothing and the frebbie-saurs eat all three.
Hell, I'd give 'em the snakes too but they do not seem to like the live poisonous ones too much..
Now that is the only kind of reparations they got coming.....Tyr

I have mulled over further response to this idiocy..

For one, my Dad's side of the family legally immigrated from Austria in 1898, and
opened a butcher shop and grocery store in Cicero Illinois.
They did not own slaves.

My mother's side is traced back to the 1750's, eventually settling into what is
now Hardy County West Virginia, and were hard-scrabble farmers.
They did not own slaves.

Why should I feel compelled to support any 'reparations'?
I do not at all.

Head back to Nigeria and seek out the tribal leaders that sold your ancestors,
as Gunny said, and have them pay you to be a freeloader.

Mine were side hill farmers in Northern AL. You think they were going to waste good money on a slave? Crap, they bartered with their crops. Less than 5% of Southerners owned slave. This whole lie that every place was a plantation with a hundred slaves is just bunk.

People that can feed their families solely because they grow their own crops ain't bringing in another mouth. They always show that one picture of that one slave with scars on his back. If make my living off of your ass, why would I intentionally disable you? You're just costing me money then.

The whole argument is nonsensical. Lincoln made blacks child-like and they have stayed that way. They just hover around looking for a handout.

Get a damned job.

Damn!!!
THAT IS TRUTH AS NAKED AND BRUTAL AS IT SHOULD BE MY FRIEND..

Myself, I've always wondered how those Hollywood movie lies have fooled so many people....
Lived in the South for 62+ years now and have found that most Yanks have not a clue about slavery and the lies so often told and used by the dem party....
For instance, white share-croppers(yes Caucasians) here in the South (1920's up until 1950's) were modern slaves well after the blacks were, but that part is ignored.
Think anybody wants to hand out hundreds of billions to their kids and grandkids??
Or to Native Americans for conquered and stolen land? --TYR

My granddad picked cotton and worked the family farm. Crops fails, you starve.

I WILL say however, indians are treated like crap. And I can hit a reservation in 20 minutes in any direction where I live. But why is it those casino owning injuns that whine and cry don't take care of their own? Why does everyone think they are owed for existing?

Us rich white guys have so easy. Go plow a field and come back and tell me about it. Work in the South Texas sun in August 10 hours a day 6 days a week instead of standing in line in an air conditioned building for your freebie.

Oddly enough, we had almost zero blacks on any construction site. The ones we did get whined a lot. "It's hot". No shit asshole. You're in South Texas in August. You waitn' on some damned snow, or what?. If it WAS snowing you'd be whining your ass was cold. Either get on that damned shovel or I'm cutting your time off now.

You get $15 an hour an on some handout program and I get $12 to do the work? DON"T WIRE MY F*CKING EXIT SIGN TO THE LIGHT SWITCH. These idiots would just kill me. Just say you don't know how. I will do it myself or teach you. It takes longer to un-f*ck your shit than it does to just do it myself.

Sound like I hate whiners, or what?
