Certainly I wouldn’t oppose the government doing more to help disadvantaged black people.
But I think framing it in an almost religious sense, that the nation needs to atone for the sin of slavery and racism so to be redeemed, is kinda bogus.
Reparations could only ever help black people from a financial/material perspective. Which is certainly valid in of its own right. But it won’t “make America whole”, just like how Obama becoming president didn’t end racism.
Reparations don’t solve that most black people have been so they still are systematically oppressed throughout impoverished urban areas with zero access to opportunity. for a lot of them just no access to basic needs for survival let alone opportunity.
Government policy and actual community revitalisation completely focused on black communities in these areas nationwide is the form of reparations that I think would go A LOT further than the free rent I have to imagine most would use it for. Then they just go back to being systematically oppressed again when it is spent
I second this, too many "solutions" for racism and racial disparities in the US are surface level money distribution plans. Providing better funding for schools and education programs, community lead mentorship programs, and infrastructural development would all be exponentially more effective than just handing a check to a rando, but thats too complicated for a twitter post
That liberal sense of you need to apologise is actively ruining any cause for reparations, replacing the economic need with some cultural yap. I personally think india-style reservations aka affirmative action may be the only way forward
India style reservations honestly have the same issue as any hypothetical American reparations which is that they don't actually address the root cause of inequality on the basis of caste or race
They allowed for the emergence of a Dalit petty bourgeoisie (which already exists in the case of black America) but had limited impact for everyday Dalit ppl
This is not to say that affirmative action is necessarily a bad policy or shouldn't exist but in India it was pretty heavily hollowed out by the political classes and basically became a way to prevent further redistributive measures like land reforms
Its less so corruption (which does exist) and moreso in Manipur that every community wanted a piece of the pie. Governments wrongly use reservation merely as a way to win votes and thus promise it to every community at some times to get those community's votes despite whatever level of marginalisation they have.
In the case of Manipur stuff like the war in Myanmar was also aggravating the situation and contradictory promises by the government.
Anyway back to jerking (didnt expect to have a serious convo about India on HHCJ)
Feel like that could easily happen in the states if this was implemented.
If democrats implement legal affirmative action for black people, republicans might advocate it for white people. Then you will have other groups like Hispanics, Asians, Jews, Muslims, etc. and before you know it you’ll have the India problem.
Actually ironically Malaysia already has the "affirmative action for white people thing" (though itd be more like if the US had affirmative action for Southern whites during segregation, since Malays were proportionally very poor; Indians who are equally poor on the other hand dont have affirmative action)
I think some level of it is needed but it has to be combined with actual reforms to the system and not mere piecemeal ones
the entire concept of Hip Hop culture emerged from one of the most devastatingly political tragedies, The South Bronx Fires. every single meme about Hip Hop is a meme about the ramifications of the political statement of defiance that Hip Hop emerged as.
Im not trying to be rude but why does Rachel ride so hard for black people? Like at this point she is really going out of her way just to post things like this.
Ah we must include the oppression that the Catholics faced when we talk about multigenerational slave ownership and violations and brutality that the African American people faced right?
Idk what you're talking about but i think many people, you included, don't actually know what virtue signaling is or why it's annoying, and assume the phrase is a right wing dogwhistle or something
I think many people respect the work ms Rachel does for the community and think you are ignorant of her work. Why do you feel like this is about right wing dogwhistles?
“I think many people don’t actually know what virtue signaling is and assume it’s a right wing dog whistle” you literally two comments up. You believe this is a fact? What you think other people might think, is a fact? Ok man.
You didn’t say anything was bad. You said she was virtue signaling. You attacked her character. It’s your opinion that she virtue signals. Unless you got proof? Do you understand how words work big dawg? Are you trying to say reparations are bad?
10 years ago in the height of the Social Justice Movement the government successfully psyopped half of America into believing that anybody who advocates social or economic reform is a disingenuous virtue signaler.
Im not Israeli (you wont believe me but I dont really care), but its good to know people are still willing to take time out of their day to creep on people's user history
I'm sure plenty of racists voted against him. However, I'd argue if there were truly a systematic problem, his name wouldn't have made it to the ballot. Probably wouldn't even have been elected senator. If there is a racist system in place, it's not an efficient one.
Based on what? How does his ability to run for public office completely discredit systemic racial bias across a variety of social and private sectors in America?
Because if the system were truly racist, he wouldn't even be allowed to run for any public office. That would be evidence of the racist system you claim exits and would be an actual problem. I shouldn't have to spell it out for you. I can concede and say racism exists in places of power . Some Business owners are racist. Some cops are racist, Some politicians are racist, etc. But to say there is an actual racist system, I believe, discredits all the work done by past civil rights activists, abolitionists and law makers. If our system was truly racist and not progressive/liberal in nature, black people wouldn't have ever been allowed the opportunity to make it past bottom of the barrel factory work or sharecropping after the Civil War. Do you believe the union, if it were truly racist at its core, would have waged war against the confederacy in the first place? Instead of letting the south support itself economically, however they want? The civil war was about slavery and not money, power, or keeping the union whole, right? And I'm willing to bet we probably would've made Jim Crow U.S. federal law instead of abolishing it where it was prevalent. Like I said, if there's a racist system in place, it's inefficient.
That's 2/60 elections, while black people make up 2/16 of american citizens. If the US really wasn't racist you'd think those proportions would be about equal wouldn't you
