All of the changes I listed would help impoverished people regardless of skin color. After-school programs in lower income areas wouldn't just help black kids, they'd help any child that might otherwise be in danger of falling into a gang or drug use. The reason I call it reparations is that its implementation will help black people more because proportionally more black people are lower class. In truth, it would help Latinos, Asians, whites, blacks, and any other people that are impoverished. It'll just happen to help Latinos and blacks more.

First it's ""Enough is enough" when we give them the same opportunities as their white counterparts." "That's the price we pay for waiting so damned long."
So it's reparations to help only the poor blacks because whites (no mention of any other ethnicity, race or culture)...... but you change your tune in the very next reply to my posts, to it helping "all poor people."
So if we say that then it's not truly "Reparations" it's ..... um....... welfare, the war on poverty, social programs to help the inner city..... Which we have tried and failed at because it doesn't reward hard work and personal responsibility and has led us where we are now. People say "ok, let's help" Then the abuse is shown and it's "we tried screw them trickle down yes." And finally social, moral, spiritual, financial decay and bankruptcy of the nation.
So, is it true "reparations" you are wanting..... which would mean programs and monies ONLY to Blacks OR are you wanting social reform and programs?
You are fighting for one or the other you cannot call one the other because they are not the same thing. Because by it's very nature and meaning to those demanding "reparations" it is solely for the blacks and no one else.
