I’m not for everybody just getting a check. Just because they simply cut a check to other communities doesn’t mean it’s right. They cut a check because they know handing out money will not help the community as a whole and it won’t be sustainable thus keeping those folks under their thumb. It promotes individualism and we need unity and community.
Now if you have incentives to promote black education. black employment, black business ownership, black home ownership, etc., we come up as a community.
That’s why I think the tax thing is a good idea. People got to have a job and doing for themselves to get the funds. For those that don’t work there should be free programs to train and educate. For those that don’t want to do any of this there’s still the current government support programs (WIC, Medicaid, etc.).
Final note, yes, it’s BS that those other groups are getting money and we can’t get reparations. But I’m not going to hate on them for fighting for and getting what they want. Just got to fight for ourselves instead of complaining.
