So hilarious when old men hang onto a hairstyle for way too long.

No, he's just not a child who thinks the idea of "reparations" has any real world applicability. The fact that Harris and others have already done this is greatly troubling when we know that it's a complete fantasy that could never be delivered upon.

Plus, social justice doesn't mean anything by itself. Provide some context in how it would relate to an actual campaign message that has something quantifiable attached to it.

Did you catch Putin's remark about collusion while you were away:

‘It's very hard to find a black cat in a dark room especially if it is not there.'

Except unlike UBI, reparations in 2019 doesn't seem all that helpful overall...plus its a completely useless gesture to the vast majority of regular people. Your just gonna make poor white and Hispanic people angrier and black people won't feel like "this is enough to make up for slavery", so they'll just ask for more. You can't put a price tag on something like that.

So yeah, they have no real world applicability. Like, what are you going to do, give every white guy who is 1/4 African-American a fourth of what a regular black guy/girl would get under such a program?

I think we should just kill all white people though

China is gonna own the U.S. long before all the white people die.
