    The problem with most arguments against #reparations by white people is they don't know what they are saying and sometimes we act like they didn't say what they said. (Granted, this is Don Lemon)

    Their logic, universally applied, goes against their entire justice system. Meaning, they would have to apply it along racial lines (i.e. double-down on racism) or admit they've been doing justice wrong, delegitimizing the current system.



    She is saying you always have to go to the source of the supply chain, excusing everything that comes after.

    What's the source of racism? The US government.
    What is the source of the crack epidemic? The US government.
    What is the source of all of these drugs that black people have been getting arrested for selling/using? It ain't black people.

    Often times, white people defend against Reparations without knowing the meaning of what is coming out of their mouths. In the same breath, they end up indicting everything around them.

    All of this is legalese. The Government is guilty and they know it but their stance is “WTF you going to do about it”. Life is actually much more simpler than it is made out to be. If there is no consequence for NOT paying reparations then why pay it? Why not send that money overseas to Ukraine to proxy jab at Russia?

    Black America needs to impose a consequence, if we don’t…no reparations.

    I agree, life is simple. I believe the reason people's arguments against Reparations hold no water is because of the simplicity of actual (not man-made) justice. They try to break it into 2 or multiple parts when the truth is, if we don't have it, it doesn't exist for anyone. That carries consequences for everybody.
