lmfao you do not determine what i did and what i didn't say. just because i can understand why a s***ty government has a hard time doing the right thing doesn't mean i affirm that position in any way. you're not going to bully me into some position i don't agree with. play that game with a dumber motherfucker.

i answered your question about whether reparations should be paid back 160 years later. if you would like me to rephrase, the answer is a resounding yes. your first question about reparations is exactly what i'm getting at though. holocaust reparations were paid directly to survivors and their children. i never saw my grandmother's reparations. that's why the US has such a hard time dealing with the idea of reparations now. because now they have to account for 160 extra years of the systemic effects of slavery. that's why reparations are much more difficult in their execution. not why they shouldn't be made.

So why didn't the US pay the reparations immediately after slavery ?

Because according to you , the only problem you named is basically technicality.

not paying reparations after slavery is one of america's greatest failures... you seem to be missing what i was getting at in my original post.

You said its because they have a hard time because of the time that's passed.

And I dont give a s*** about your feelings , if you justify something that means you're giving it an affirmative nod.

If I say that a girl was maybe raped because of they way she was dressed , I'm clearly saying that it was at least partly her fault she got raped.

You justified it. I didnt made you justify it. Dont throw stones and then go hiding. Dont try to be a slick white man.

I did not follow this conversation.

Here my two cents :

Black Americans can have a rough, xenophobic language that Africans are not used too. But Africans must understand that roasting and s*** talking is a big part of black American culture. But in Africa everything you say towards a person is taken very seriously and not being polite is already taken as a form of disrespect.

Of course there is also the possibility off you simply meeting a black American K00n or ignorant person.

And also let's not forget the actual real xenophobia in Africa in countries like South Africa chasing other Africans down the road to go back to their country.

On the flip side you have African immigrants that align themselves with the white power structure AGAINST black Americans.

They disrespect the very black Americans that build this country and allowed them to come to America.

anyways yall i wanted to plug my playlist on the history of our radical tradition, the events that shaped it, and the people who progressed it. it contains speeches, interviews, documentaries, historical footage, audiotexts/books, video essays, and lectures. i tried my best to sort every video chronologically/thematically from the past millenium to the present-day. @Nightmares @Barcelona @localblaccmane @insertcoolnamehere @Soupvillain @AmoryBlain

why wasn't it paid in the first place? because the vast majority of public decision makers at the time were racists?

this is fair. there is a big cultural disconnect. and yeah the discussion was getting at the wrong doings on both sides

another thing that one of the speakers brought up was how some black americans don’t make the effort in trying to trace back their roots. he said you can tell by looking at peoples facial features and get a general idea of their origins in africa

i’m haitian so i can’t speak on how black americans feel on that, but i do agree some people have very distinct features where you’d be able to study different african tribes and get a general idea of your origins. ofc it’s not definitive and wouldn’t work for everyone but i wanted to hear what other’s thought about it
