You shouldn't have to anyways. What sort of batshit infuckingsane group teaches people that atoning for the sins of their forebears rest upon their shoulders?
I do not give a single solitary flying fuck about slavery that ended nearly two centuries back. I could not care less, where, in a world, we have the shit we buy from China comes form forced labour camps, when in the middle east there's castrated men being sold as slaves, when in India the fucking appalling caste system stull exists and when all through the EU the wealtheir countries have a native population so fucking lazy, fat, and spoiled they ship in, en masse, people from less wealthy countries to do their shitty, dirty work
Biggest slapfight I've had with all this was with a friend who has a huge collection of those fucking spastic fodder funko pops. I despise those things, Plastic shite, made by slaves. And there he is, someone who has never even dated outside his own ethnic group, raging about racism and slavery, being a good little white boy, talking about reparations while his own lifestyle is that of mindless, stupid vacuous consumer.
Fuck reparations, fuck paying them. Until we've addressed slavery that goes on now, people in the US can sit down, shut the fuck up and wait their turn. their busted feefees come way below real world priorities.
