This random stereotype. With that money I would be more comfortable paying off debts. Same with my mother.

We should, but we won't since there are still people who exist in this day and age that don't see it for the tragedy it is, and that number is substantial. What happened to Native-Americans was tragic and is practically unanimously-agreed upon. What happened to Jewish people was phenomenally horrific, and nobody would disagree to that (publicly). What happened to African-Americans was tragic, as well, but is still panned as whether it's tragic enough to actually care about or repair.

Its quite pathetic and embarassing

Giselle never denied that gays face discrimination.
The good sis is simply saying that gay people have never faced systemic socio-economic oppression in the way that black people have. To overcome this oppression, you have to invest (i.e. compensate) in the black community with measures that will empower them and level the playing field.

Can y'all stop referencing that post? I'll start reading more books to get educated on the topic of slavery in the United States (keep in mind I live in Canada so I have basically 0 knowledge about slavery in the US, but it's a very interesting topic/debate to discuss).

You are spot on. It's a damn shame the way our country thinks and acts.

How does Slavery not come up? There were records of slaves escaping to Canada, surely that must had been mentioned.

You can't be serious.
Mothers who live in poor neighborhoods who lie to get their kids in better schools are doing it by choice right? lol.
Hate to break your bubble but that's not true if it were there would be a lot less problems one being homelessness.

Yes we should. But complicated logistics would likely hinder such a measure, that is if it's monetary compensation.

Then why creating this thread if you weren't well-informed? 😳
