72. I have no qualms for certain "white" taxes for reparations

While the OP is a bit drastic for banning white people, there are certain truths behind the rumor. For instance, slave labor, essentially production GIVEN to whites by blacks, seeded all corporate and even government bonding that we all enjoy today. If reparations were truly just, we would see a migration of most of the wealth today to the descendants of slaves, and a lot of the easy life that whites live, for the most part, will (and actually should) disappear.

By the way, there is a huge difference between banning an organization that exists under the guise of a "political party," which of course is the GOP, and banning people in general. So any response with regard to that laughable comparison will be duly ignored.
