I’m not arguing for equal rights at all. Equality is a myth and ideology perpetuated by liberals, neo communists, and The Democratic Party… it’s separatist in essence because it tokenizes black people/economic underclass and conditioned us into helplessness. The Special Field Order 15 of 1865 was created so the newly freed blacks would have access to the free market… with the assassination of Lincoln the order was ignored and what blacks were given was taken from them by force. Therefore, something is owed to us and things are unequal. When the Japanese were forced to live in concentration camps during WW2 they were given reparations for what was seized unfairly… it’s the same principle. If the shoe were on the other foot, I would choose to fight so that whoever was owed was paid their due because it’s not right for people to be promised something and then have it stolen away… it’s weird that other people can’t do the same for us.

During those times periods enslaved people got freedom… Seems more valuable then 40 acres and a mule the government promised but that’s government. Really think the Japanese Americans were made whole by the government after WW2 that’s a joke and more recent but sure complain about how your ancestors were treated unfairly 150+ years ago and that’s why life sucks now 👇 nostr:nevent1qqsgfvy88ueazfjargxq7z7xrs8spd84jkddg08l65nd33nvkxyc8hqprfmhxue69uhkummnw3ezummjv9hxwetsd9kxctnyv4mqz9nhwden5te0vakx7cnpdsh8yetvv9ujuun9vsq32amnwvaz7tmgd9ehgtnwdaehgu3wd3skueqppemhxue69uhkummnw3ezu6nstud7zg

Dude, I’m a white capitalist. Seems like you have an issue with other people getting repayment and you being excluded. BTW Japanese Americans all got at least a $20k check. Are you equating national security during WW2 with the Japanese people to blacks taken from their home country and enslaved? You seem to be conflating “CNN arguments for blacks” with what Lotta is saying.

🤔 wow Im flattered how much you assume you know me… I’m sure that $20k made them whole after losing everything… I don’t give two shits who the government gives money to you asshat my argument was with the division of race and equality for all Americans not just the black community but all the poor communities and opportunities for everyone not just one race because of bullshit history that didn’t directly effect your person.. Your arguments will only perpetuate the issue to another race down the line when you only want better for one race over another…

I just don’t understand why it’s such an issue for black Americans to ask for wrongs to be made right … especially when it was done for others. It sucks feeling lesser than knowing historically we as a people are supposed to feel that way. Not all whites owned slaves but the government benefited from it and went out of their way to make sure we never gained a solid footing afterwards. I hate that this has turned into name calling. I’m not a statist, a reverse racist, or separatist. My life doesn’t suck, my needs are met, and I don’t feel oppressed. I love America and I’m proud to be a black American. I understand the history of my people and see how gov propaganda has ushered us as a collective into our current predicament. I see Bitcoin as a solution. I was making a statement about that because what’s currently being proposed is unattainable. Tomorrow is new day. Have a good one. https://www.hks.harvard.edu/faculty-research/policycast/us-pays-reparations-every-day-just-not-black-america
