They were partners in a business enterprise.
In real life, itās not about race, itās about power/money.
Since you went there, Iāll just say that maybe that harsh fact will free up the rational people from the onerous mantle of āI am only where I am because of the other race oppressing meā.

In what way is that a big nasty fact?
Any idiot should know that
Although Iām not sure why you included the words āfellow peopleā as if you were trying to imply something race related.

It kinda ruins the narrative that modern day white people owe anybody anything.
Iām right there with you on that.
You donāt feel any common bond with your fellow african americans in the battle against oppression from the white devils, crackers, etc?
I mean, who do the black people want reparations from?

I guess youāre just going to have ask each and every blacks person on what they want: men, women, children, perhaps even the babies.
Common bond? What do you mean by this?

You support reparations, correct?
Who do YOU believe should pay them?

what they want:
I didnt ask anything about what. The subject is reparations.
The question is from whom do they want them/it?
Common bond. Shared experience. Like all the guys who joined the Marines, or fought in Viet Nam.
Common bond.
If you have to ask, you must not feel it.

No, I donāt. Because if it were up to me the subject of reparations for slavery would be dropped from common parlance and never heard of again.

So it looks like starting this year, Florida AND Michigan are required to take a financial literacy course to graduate high school. In my opinion I believe this should be required by every state, hopefully other states will replicate the same thing.

I actually wrote a college paper about the need for this, except that if we are to continue with Standardized Testing, that this metric should be a category in these as well.

So, bring back industrial arts?
Some places still have these or half day regional trade schools.

I think this would achieve the same result, but without disparities among gender and sexual orientation.
+1 to trade skills as mentioned by @SkyzykS

At least 10 people are dead and 10 more hospitalized after a mass shooting in Monterey Park, California, Saturday night, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Follow live updates here.
Rest In peace to those who lost their lives. So sick and tired of gun violence.
Edit: Stupid TikTok almost made me think it was race related
