Local reparations programs — in about a dozen cities and the state of California — have renewed hopes for an eventual national policy to compensate for slavery. But after decades of lobbying and three years of a national reckoning over race, Americans overall remain strongly opposed to the idea.
The Pew Research Center, find about three-quarters or more of white adults oppose reparations, and so do a majority of Latinos and Asian Americans. A large majority of Black Americans support them. There’s also more support among younger people and a sharp political divide, with overwhelming opposition from Republicans and conservatives.
We’re all immigrants at some point, whether it was voluntary or forced. And nobody needs a handout anymore. Everybody, you know, pulls themselves up by their own bootstraps and works for a living and makes their way in this world.
I hope they would, Fred.
Reparations is a profoundly stupid idea, but that does not necessarily prevent its adoption. The voting habits and apathy of the general population assure that we elect socialists and enact socialist initiatives.
A voice of reason.
The richest blacks on the planet are black Americans. And not by just a little; they are remarkably richer than black Africans. If those wanting to use mob-rule to take from people who earn to give to a special group have their way, justice might suggest the reparations go in the opposite direction…just kidding.
Among those that shout for “justice”, J. Sobran, they are willing to perpetrate massive injustices.
