Johnson should be demanding a check from Democrats not the Government. It's Democrats who imposed Jim Crow laws, not the Federal government. The Federal government fought a bloody and expensive war against Democrats to end slavery. Have Biden cut you a personal check.RaceBannon said:https://vice.com/en/article/88nmez/robert-johnson-bet-reparations-racism-slavery?utm_source=vicenewstwitter
Robert L. Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television and America’s first Black billionaire, wants a check. He wants it from the government. And he wants it to come with an apology for slavery, Jim Crow, and hundreds of years of racism.
The 75-year-old media magnate owns several homes, heads an asset management firm, and was the first Black person to own a majority stake in an NBA team. He doubts that check will ever come, but he sees a new kind of reparations—being called by a different name so as not be “divisive” or “controversial”—happening already.
The new “reparations” is critical race theory education, it’s the housing grant program in Evanston, Illinois, it’s the $5 billion of targeted support and debt relief for Black farmers, and it’s the $50 billion in corporate pledges in the wake of George Floyd’s murder dedicated to combating systemic racism and inequality. (Even though just $250 million, or 0.5%, has actually materialized so far.)
“That’s what’s happening to the reparations—it’s been cut up into small pieces of things that look and feel like, ‘We want to end systemic racism, we want to end police brutality and shootings and to provide financing to Black small business owners,’” Johnson tells VICE News.
“Reparations had two components: The first was atonement, and the other was monetary,” he adds. “With no doubt whatsoever, it was supposed to come from the government representing the people of the country. It was reimbursement, or recompense if you will, for the harm.”
The fight for reparations has evolved significantly since The Atlantic published Ta-Nehisi Coates’ “The Case for Reparations” in 2014. It has grown from a struggle to raise awareness and build sympathy for the cause, to a campaign that seeks to calculate exactly what is owed and how it should be distributed and demand full payment.
He is continuing to push for a $14 trillion reparations proposal he says would provide enough to close the yawning Black/white wealth gap that exists through home ownership, wages, and occupational attainment, among other imbalances. Though he’s not exactly optimistic.
“Reparations would require the entire country to … admit that the result of slavery has been 200 years of systemic racism and for that reason Black folks have been denied $13-15 trillion of wealth and therefore we as a country now must atone by paying Black people of all stripes —the rich ones, the poor ones, and the middle—out of our pocket,” Johnson says.
I gotta admit that the wealth gap between Johnson and me is epically wide.
Another crazy billionaire to ignore I guess -
But none of the black people alive today were ever slaves and no one they ever knew was a slave. Why not honor your ancestors who were enslaved and get down and kiss the ground and thank like hell that they endured that horror so that you could grow up and live here and not in some West African shit hole?MikeDamone said:
I admit slavery was terrible and would love to be able to go back and prevent it from ever happening here. All black people here now would have immigrated or descended from immigrants like everyone else. How great would that be?RaceBannon said:https://vice.com/en/article/88nmez/robert-johnson-bet-reparations-racism-slavery?utm_source=vicenewstwitter

All of this being based off a single cartoon panel is a pretty good summary of the rights criticisms of CRT.

So, Slobberer was are the good things about CRT and why do you support teaching the kiddies? Don't hurt yourself. Actually, the Tug conservatives have been factually nailing CRT for months.TheKobeStopper said:All of this being based off a single cartoon panel is a pretty good summary of the rights criticisms of CRT.

Recognition that race is not biologically real but is socially constructed and socially significant. It recognizes that science (as demonstrated in the Human Genome Project) refutes the idea of biological racial differences. According to scholars Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic, race is the product of social thought and is not connected to biological reality.
Acknowledgement that racism is a normal feature of society and is embedded within systems and institutions, like the legal system, that replicate racial inequality. This dismisses the idea that racist incidents are aberrations but instead are manifestations of structural and systemic racism.
Rejection of popular understandings about racism, such as arguments that confine racism to a few “bad apples.” CRT recognizes that racism is codified in law, embedded in structures, and woven into public policy. CRT rejects claims of meritocracy or “colorblindness.” CRT recognizes that it is the systemic nature of racism that bears primary responsibility for reproducing racial inequality
All of that looks pretty good to me.
What is being taught to children? Because I keep seeing parents freaking out at meetings where the district is explicitly saying they aren’t teaching CRT. -
