@bdubbs25 Specifically mentions that these resources are remedy for all the centuries of financial, physical and psychological stress that was inflicted on Freedman and their descendants. That tailors it to us exclusively
@bdubbs25 If a non-descendant of Freedman applied for reparations and were instantly denied, they would have no claim in court. Because how could they prove that they were a member of the aggrieved ethnic lineage? It’s not discrimination so long as the language in the Bill…
@bdubbs25 We can all clearly see that the court NEVER said that the earmarked funds were “illegal”. The illegality was forbidding Rice to vote. Which makes sense since Hawaii is under the legal jurisdiction of the U.S.
@bdubbs25 In regards to the Rice vs Cayetano ruling, we need clarity on what the case was about. It was a VOTING dispute. Rice wasn’t being denied “reparations”. In fact, the court acknowledged earmarked funds for “Native Hawaiians”…
Right here
@bdubbs25 The government has precedent for restricting public resources to aggrieved groups. The Native Americans, the Japanese, Faith-based organizations (Jews) and most recently, 9/11 survivors as well as the families of victims. All aggrieved groups
@bdubbs25 If the federal government is acknowledging its role in directly harming and targeting a specific ethnic group, then what’s “illegal” about providing various remedies that include economic payments?
@bdubbs25 monetary payments to those who can prove ancestral lineage to the estimated 4+ million Freedman following the civil war.
Now according to ur logic, what part of that bill would be declared “unconstitutional”?
@bdubbs25 directs the federal government, alongside the private sector (not by force. Let’s just say these companies who profited from slavery want to make amends), to appropriate funds to the re-established Freedman’s Bureau. These funds will be used to provide resources and direct..
@bdubbs25 So let’s play out the scenario so that it makes sense..
Congress Passes the National Reparations Bill. The Bill offers a national formal apology and acknowledgment of past wrongs towards Freedman and their descendants. The Bill…
@DreAllDay When your “source” only has constant points attacking black ppl, excluding any other race from criticism, then, is it safe to say that he has a clear cut agenda? No different than Chud the Builder who’s sole agenda was to trigger a black person
@bdubbs25 Providing assistance and benefits for Native Tribes occur due to Congressman & previous Presidents who’re sympathetic towards their grievances. Same thing when the Japanese got reparations
@bdubbs25 At the reparations given to the Japanese (in the 80’s if I’m correct) and Native Americans. It’s not about a violation of treaties cuz the U.S. has a history of treaty violations. (They’ve violated Native treaties since the British colonial times) So programs…
@bdubbs25 Bureau, imo, needs to be re-established as a database so that we know exactly who qualifies for reparations. Cuz again, reparations is not racial but a lineage based claim for a specific aggrieved group…And we already have precedent for reparations when we look..
@bdubbs25 So are u saying that u don’t believe we can ever get reparations? Cuz not only do we hear more chatter amongst several states regarding the topic of reparations but, we have a documented court case (in Tulsa,OK) in which the judge stated that reparations….
@bdubbs25 Is that an opinion? If not, what specific law bans the Freedman’s Bureau from being established? Becuz not only do we have precedent, we also have the current model of the Indian Bureau of Affairs. So why can they do it but Freedman cannot?
@Michiga62228059 Got u triggered and chipping out. Calm down Ma'am. Go pray to your white Jesus and breathe in, breathe out. Black ppl aren't coming to get u like the boogey-man lmao Chimping out
