I keep hearing shit about how white people should pay reparations and it's so dumb
How would that even work. I'm Franco Ontarian should I get reparations from Anglo Ontarians. Should the Irish, Polish, Sords, Bosnians, Bulgarians, Armenians, Berber ect get reparations. What about the black people who sold slaves, what about Liberians. How far back does this go should Arabs pay for their expansion and also get paid for the british and french mandates. Should Eastern Germans get paid for the hardships they had under the Soviets. It can't be as simple as white people pay black people seeing how many white groups in many countries were historically oppressed. Should the British get rewarded for ending the legal slave trade. Is it just gonna be people who are descendents of oppressors pay in that case how do we decide how much should be paid and to who specifically. Many people like me could make the argument that I'm part of a historically oppressed group so should I need to pay nothing even though my ancestors also could be argued as oppressors. The whole thing is a huge headache that makes no real sence wonce you think about it more then all black people deserve money and all white people should pay it. Why can't we just have a system were people are rewarded for what they do specifically. No one's gonna read this, but thank you if you did.
