    I’m really interested in what you think reparations even are - do you think they’re just going to shake down all white people for money? How are they going to punish you? Why would they punish you?

      It sounded like that to me yes. I probably misunderstood. And Why me? I’m white. I’m also poor and a socialist but according to the reaction i got in this thread I’m just an idiot and it is right to hate me.

        There’s a propaganda effort by white supremacist society to paint all reparations as “evil revenge against white people :<” instead of what it actually is: correcting the injustices of slavery by making whole the descendants of slaves who have been robbed of their heritage and generational wealth.
