Beto O'Rourke calling for Reparations is a big mostake

32. That's your opinion also. once they understand it's not about cutting individual checks...

but a sincere attempt to right a heinous wrong, they might see it from a different perspective and be more receptive. And it doesn't have to be called reparations since many whites get their backs up and think nothing should be done for blacks who had their .LABOR STOLEN FOR 250 YEARS then were "freed" and set adrift in a hostile nation with just the clothes on their backs and not a cent of compensation to face an additional 100 years of Jim Crow racism. Wonder if a less hearty demographic would've even survived in such a sea of hate?

It would be about job training programs, college aid, small business grants, community infrastructure improvement and development. No one with any sense is advocating cutting individual checks.

But something sure should be done or 100, 150, 200 years from now the racial divide will still be here and some will be saying we can't do reparations because it just can't be done. And the nation witll be no better off because we have refused since the end of enslavement and Jim Crow to tackle and make sincere efforts to address the most heinous wrong in the history of humanity. We've kicked it down the road for forever because many whites don't want to deal with what their ancestors did and what they still benefit from.
