@THOMASB69356009 @Joseph_P_Klein Not a single one of these programs has gone outright to "blacks" and even if they had, wouldn't even come close to making up for a 350 year head start. — PolitiTweet.org

@Sweetfeet109 @DavidnOlive @heartofhonor231 That math does not add up to white people are the *ones* paying reparations. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@DavidnOlive @FredddyG70 @heartofhonor231 Genocides are international, too, so we should not condemn it and force individual countries to repair when they commit it? Because other people all around the world commit crime, we shouldn't enforce laws here? Nonsensical argument. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@DavidnOlive @heartofhonor231 You think only white people pay taxes? Do you feel that way when the government pays for everything else it pays for, that white people are being punished? — PolitiTweet.org

@DerekPederson3 @Texaggie79 @MonicaBaumann @CathyYoung63 @RtrnSanity 1) Why does it matter whether I am patriotic or not? 2) Who do you think gets to define patriotic. 3) I can tell by how you framed your comment around the CRM that you haven't read the essay. — PolitiTweet.org

@heartofhonor231 Who is being punished? White people don't pay reparations. The federal government pays. Further, as I said. It's not just for slavery. It's for 100 years of racial apartheid that didn't end until 1968. Plenty of living victims of that. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@heartofhonor231 The federal government sanctioned slavery and slavery was not practiced just in the South. Also, the argument for reparations is not just about slavery. Watch the #1619Hulu Justice episode or read the essay in the #1619Project book. — PolitiTweet.org

Almost no Black people received land under Special Field Order 15, and nearly all that did had the land confiscated when President Andrew Johnson rescinded the order upon Lincoln's assassination. Black Americans have not received reparations. — PolitiTweet.org
