Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers: Who ISN'T Running At This Point?
To steal a line from him saying stuff like that is his way of "clutching at pearls". Just like for some ungodly reason he thinks people like Bob Gray and joe are well thought out and reasoned posters he thinks anyone Left of him and Dr. Mrs. (that isnt religious I guess) is some sort of Centrist, Uneducated Windbag that cares about no one and is too stupid to get why he and his Coastal Friends matter more than us Flyover Country, InBreed Inlanders.
So my GF is probably closer to Kep in terms of how far Left she goes than she is me and when I brought up how Booker mentioned the idea she laughed out loud said, and I full on quote, "Reparations are the DUMBEST IDEA AND SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN!". I wont lie I was shocked because she is someone who will die on a hill for issues dealing with the subjugation of the Black Community. I asked her why she thought that way and she said "You spend that money fixing the systemic racism, building up the communities and funding ways to improve their lives. You dont just hand them money because that wont solve any of the problems and will only cause other issues."
You ever hear those stories of lottery winners that go broke? (or the many athletes that do) That will happen here on a massive scale. And before Kep or trix tells me I am racist for saying that (because anyone who argues with the Crazy Left are some form of "ist" ) it isnt a Black thing, it is a Poverty thing. Anyone who has ever been poor (and I mean really poor, not "bank account at zero" but debt out the ying yang living in Section 8 Housing on food stamps poor) can tell you when you all of a sudden are handed some money it becomes very difficult not to just spend it. Buy a real nice meal, go shopping for clothes, get a car (if we are talking large sums of cash) and so on and so on. I saw it first hand when I was living that way as a kid. People wont be starting IRAs and buying up mutual funds with the Reparations money in part because they havent had the financial education to even know about that type of stuff.
(sorry if any of this was covered already I am just catching up on this thread)
Please point out where "scalded infant screeching" and "a caterwauling fit of fist-clenched, crying, close-eyed butthurt" occurred while discussing the idea of reparations?
No one here went full Old Pio/Foxton over the last few pages. I think you're projecting.
