We live in a world where Donald Trump has majority white support. If only white men voted, he'd win the election. Does talking about this play into the hands of the people who push the "welfare moms" narrative? I' not saying it's wrong, and perhaps in a more enlightened time it will happen but the chances of it happening even within my lifetime are so small as to be nonexistent.

But you often hear people do want to support reparations, but it's totally reparations in the way "we" like. There never is any conversation about going forward with the study over the damage that these institutions caused or what a good jumping off point is. It's always about, let me just guess how to absolve our legacy of slavery and it is always "rising tide lifts all boats" bullshit. Oh, well I'm surprised there hasn't been a study on that, honestly. Yeah I'd support a study. It would probably be the worst thing I've read since Gerneralplan Ost, though.

This thread just makes me think about my ex. She was Kenyan and it was from her that I learned Africans hate american blacks for some reason.

I thought of this thread and was going to try and make a witty comment regarding both it and donald trumps election, but then I remembered donald trump was just elected POTUS and had to cry a little.
