No, but it’s “us” that allow the reparation rhetoric to continue as if anybody alive is responsible.

White people are to blame for the position white people are currently in.

I don’t have a good handle on what views are on reparations. I have a feeling that not very many people think is likely to occur as a government policy. I could be wrong. The logistics are difficult. The funding isn’t there. A policy that used tax dollars to fund it would likely be found unconstitutional.
As I said, I could be wrong. I suspect a lot of the noise around it is coming from a small group on the internet.
I have watched a few videos on it on YouTube (read the comments sections), and read a few threads on Reddit. From that, I’d conclude that it is wildly unpopular (even on Reddit).
Well, slavery already existed on the two continents that were to be called the Americas prior to the arrival of Europeans. As did human sacrifice, including children, and cannibalism but we can’t talk about those things.

Not all the people who lived here did those things. Those who did can pay reparations to the ones they did it to, if they want reparations given to them.
Most people aren’t knowledgeable enough about history to know what people lived where and what their cultures entailed. I think generally people in the American southwest and down into South America, were “worse” in some senses than those north of them. I don’t know if there’s any real reason for that.
I mean, not all white people owned slaves, and not all black people were slaves either.

Can we get back to picking on fat people again?

Yeah, we’ve gone from fatties, to feminism, to slavery.
All we’re missing is Abortion and we’ve fully trainwrecked a thread that was nothing more than an inner thought turned monologue!

Some of the quotes are golden.
“Passengers who take up less space are not given a refund.”
“my seatmate was also a large-size person,” Miller said. “His shoulders and chest area were much wider than mine. I spent the entirety of a two-hour-plus flight bent over to my right into the aisle. My back still aches today from sitting like that.”
“I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an uptick in people wearing fat suits to travel, much like in the way people abuse the emotional support animal rules.”

I know. I don’t agree with the idea of reparations. I’m saying people talk about white, black, “brown,” etc. and there’s a lot of groups with those races that owe each other something if you think people deserve reparations.

I would burn everything down I have and send it into oblivion before paying a cent in reparations.
