Reparations Will Do Nothing For The Poor Black Man

[muchspl2]

You take all the people that have money now

Completely level the playing field, & take money from them & give it to "the oppressed black man" & in 5 years the same people that started out with the money will have it all back.

Why do you ask?

Because they put forth the effort to make it once, & they will do it again, while less than 1% of those that receive reparations will do anything but waste the money.

Just like most lottery winners are broke in a few years

I sum this up to say this is not specific to Blacks. The same thing happens with white trash & every other poor demographic.

Those that do not work to attain possessions, care nothing for them.

Give a person in one of these demographics $5,000 & they will buy breast implants for their girlfriend, or 22" spinners for their $500 car

What you need to do is sell children on the idea that school is relevant and that any individual can grow up to attend college to attain a good paying job.

This is rather difficult in the inner city where fathers are missing, your brothers are getting shot, and all you want from school is to get home alive.

I wouldn't do that. I'd buy a new comp with half and invest the rest.

I'd like to see your statistics, because everything I've seen contradicts you.

Was this thread meant to be racist?

Was it also meant to imply that people are poor because they are too lazy to do anything about it?

Or was it just poorly worded?

A poorly worded racist piece saying people are poor because they are too lazy to do anything about it.

That sums it up.

Dumb.

Naive.

Laughable.

I take it you've never seen the film Trading Places :-"

If you want to completely level the playing field you'd have to give the poor people an education/expertise as good as the formerly rich people and ... hmm i had more points to make, but fuck that, i think your entire suggestion was stupid.

The thread is obvious, pathetic flame bait.

The poster is a nob. There are only 2 options as I see it.

You believe the drivel you posted and the "rationale" you attempt to support it with = nob.

You posted tripe which you don't believe, for effect = nob.

Guess what, either way you are a nob. However that is only my opinion. Other people may think you are something other than a nob.

[Spider_dude]

i'd have to agree he is a nob.
