According to Maslow's Hierarchy, the human being needs the basic needs met before they can succeed

So, In honor of Black History Month.

I propose, that if blacks were to receive reparations (Not in the form of taxes from everyone. Just money from companies and families who have earned money through slavery)

I propose that, instead of giving the money to Education, we should give it to them in the form of Food and Education

That way they can have their basic needs met and begin to perform at their highest peak

No. Welfare should be given to those who need it the most, not those with the darkest skin.

Even if you could prove that the money they have right now comes as a result of slavery, I'd still say no.

Slavery has ended. The civil rights movement has ended. There really isn't anything that needs to be done to make up for slavery now.

It's over and will not happen again. (maybe in a yew hundred years or so where our current countries and laws have been abolished).

I'm afraid slavery is still alive and well Today But it's not physical nor limited to one race. It's called being enslaved by the fat suits in congress Anyway that was off topic but yeah

That's the dumbest thing in the world, money recycles.... So... NO DUH! America runs on drug money does that mean everyone who uses money that's been in the dealing of drugs should be put to jail?

Google itSaintWalrus
The response of someone who has no argument or evidence to support the argument. If I told my university professors to "google it" when they asked for my sources in academic papers, they would have just laughed at me and given me an F. Slavery was abolished over 100 year ago. There is no one left alive that suffered from it, so no one deserves reparations for it.

I demand that rocks and minerals get compensated because they were once displaced by flora and fauna! It is better to look into the problem of slavery today since it still happens than to look into compensating everyone that had something bad happened to their ancestors. The best form of compensation is to fight discrimination and racism today.

Black or not, too many people play the system to get the government to pay for things.

I bet if the government didn't help anyone out (not all of a sudden, but if they have NEVER), then our economy wouldn't be as crappy. People would actually be working their asses off, etc.

Women especially know how to do this because any single mother can have the government basically pay for their (and their child's) life. If you can't take care of you're own child, then why the fvck do you have children??

Omfg I can't hold in my laughter in class XD. Also. Women logic: If you're poor/need money, and you're single, have a child, and the gov'ment will pay for you and you're child's life, at least until they're 18, unless they make it to college, then they'll keep helping out.

People know that children = free money from the gubbament. I can't afford to give a child a better life than I had, it would likely be worse, in fact. So I have no intention of having children. Sure, it would be nice to have someone around who loves me pretty unconditionally that I could spoil rotten the way I spoil my nieces, (until they hit their teens, obviously) but their quality of life would not be anything to write home about.
