The Case for Reparations | 
Crazeedi The bible says the sins of the fathers are not visited on the sons. This is so wrong on so many levels. We need to lift each other up not destroy each other. Why would anyone want someone elses earnings? 3y
TheBookHippie @Crazeedi The USA is not ruled by the Bible or any religion. You are missing the point entirely. Why wouldn‘t anyone want to do everything in their power to undo and account to such a grievous wrong. (edited) 3y
Crazeedi @TheBookHippie I dont think reparations are the answer. My goodness are you going to make reparations for all the sins of your past? Ludicrous! Forgiveness mercy kindness, generosity, helping others with your time as I think you do. These are the things to bring us together, not destructive tactics. 3y

Crazeedi @TheBookHippie and the USA is FOUNDED on Judeo Christian values! And based on moral law endowed by our creator. When morals fail, countries fail 3y
night_shift I'd rather my taxes go to reparations than to bail out big business and the most funded military on the planet 🤷♀️ 3y
TheBookHippie @UnidragonFrag me too. 3y
TheBookHippie @Crazeedi I actually get persecuted for what I do. However I am entitled to believe what I want to. The USA IS NOT a Theocracy. It is not destructive, reparations - it‘s appropriate. We aren‘t going to change each other‘s minds. So you can stop trying to prove your point. I hear you. You‘re entitled to your view. I just don‘t agree with it. (edited) 3y
night_shift And I don't want to get into any religion talk right now because I'm tired but the constitution is a secular document, so no. Not based on Christian morals. 3y
Crazeedi @UnidragonFrag I agree we should not be bailing out anyone! Businesses, states who drive themselves into debt. Etc. Our taxes should go for protection of our country. That's part of the constitution. But bailouts!? No way 3y
TheBookHippie @UnidragonFrag Exactly. 3y
dariazeoli I don‘t think that morality has worked out very well for us so far. Is it moral to imprison people on non-violent drug charges? Is it moral to build a society where POC are afraid for their lives? We need concrete action. And we should certainly atone for the actions of a society we benefit from just because we “lucked into” privilege. 3y
TheBookHippie @dariazeoli Whole heartedly agree. 3y
night_shift @dariazeoli morality definately hasn't judging by the state of things. I agree. 3y
night_shift @Crazeedi I agree, the taxes should go to the protection of this country. A good step to that is reparations. 3y
TheBookHippie @UnidragonFrag Agreed. 3y

megnews When I see conversations like this, I feel compelled to say that I am a Christian which is one of the reasons I support reparations. (edited) 3y

TheBookHippie Many of the founding fathers—Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison and Monroe—practiced a faith called Deism. Deism is a philosophical belief in human reason as a reliable means of solving social and political problems. 3y
