Yawn. None of you are so fucking exceptional as to merit an exemption/ Stop killing us and assaulting us and we’ll stop ****hurting your feelings**** by calling you trash. Don’t want to be called trash? Create a universe where a dark parking lot doesn’t scare us and where we don’t have to have entire sections of…

You’re a joke. That guy isn’t deranged, he’s just a pretty regular dude who happened to have a weapon on the day he was being a pretty regular dude. Dudes I’ve rejected -- always politely and with effusive praise because you guys are FUCKING TERRIFYING -- have showed up at my job, at my apartment, physically tried to…

Nahhhhhh, that ain’t it.

Clearly that isn’t true enough in the US, or in Australia, or in any number of EU countries recently. So you can “not all people” all day long, but the truth is that most people don’t give two fucks or they do in theory but not enough to actually do anything of substance. If your caring begins and ends on social media…

The intent is the same:

It most certainly doesn’t prove your point. There is no amount that will ever be truly fair and just that we can figure out simply because there’s no fair dollar value for having your ancestors lynched or for residual and ongoing trauma of existing while Black in the US.

You’re being deliberately obtuse about this like an amount can’t possibly be figured out. Don’t worry, it will for sure not come even close to repairing the multi-generational trauma Black people carry with them because of slavery and Jim Crow.

Just wanted to stop by and say your commentary is incredibly informative and thank you for spending the time on it. 

Well, let’s do the math? Quantifying your privileges is easier than you think:

You’re making this about badly treated/horribly treated like it’s bad service at Starbucks. Black folx were literally considered property, they were not full people under the law. How come it’s all “let’s come together” when it’s our time to pay up? Your broke ass is benefiting from your white skin, mine too, this is…

I don’t know how good her lawyers are but her hair and makeup team are the real MVPs. 

Especially one from the Justice Dept given that she was never employed by the Justice Dept. 

He was 10 years older and old-fashioned, so the word fits. He treated her like it was 1952. 

I don’t think I can say it better than Optimistic Prime did. You call it dumping money as if that money means nothing to these people. If we come within 50% of the money owed plus interest, that money will be transformational for many. We owe. Our ancestors owe. 

Oh they’re always going to question us. You’re going to have to account for every iota of your personal experience and he’ll still mansplain to you why you’re probably wrong and to “think about it logically”. 

Your first fallacy is here: “I think my problem with “reparations” is twofold: one, it paints with too broad a brush (wypipo are evil and keep black people down, so therefore must pay)“

Lord. I didn’t even look that deeply. I miss the Gawker Ban Hammer. 

Does it boil down to the same thing? If you got a magic wand that suddenly and immediately made everything *equal*, there still wouldn’t be equity and justice. If you and I now both get to take off from the same starting point in a race but years ago you cut off one of my legs, we are still not the same. Correcting…

Yes to all of this.
