You are trying to argue economics and the fear that white folks will cut other programs if they have to pay reparations... that speaks volumes to your mentality of an almighty white race and ignores the fact that elected officials vote on budget items.
Then you say you are scred of what Black people are trying to do?

You lost me there...
You then ended your "argument", if you actually think you made one.. with FEAR OF RETRIBUTION FROM WHITE PEOPLE... again, making my point that your ENTIRE reparations opposition is based off FEAR OF WHITE PEOPLE.
Because white people will be GIVING you the reparations check. Perhaps you can't follow my logic, so let me elaborate:
Imagine if you somehow cannot pay your bills. And you need some money for food. You go out and ask a friend for some money. And that friend gives the money to you. If that person inquire about your financial affairs, you cannot jump like it's not his business. Why? Because by the handout, you have empowered that person to inquire about your affairs.
Now that person can put stipulations on the handout. That person can say "Don't ask me for anything else." Or, "If you want more money, I'm going to need more detailed information about your affairs."
It's like getting food stamps. The welfare folks can dig all into your family life. They can come knocking at your door to find out how you're living. They have all kinds of leeway into your affairs. Because they know you asked them for money.
So what's the price the black people will pay to get this check? Or "Free" taxes? What freedom are you willing to let go of?
You are correct, though: reparations is an ECONOMIC issue; meaning that elected officials has to vote on budget items. So, in continuance of the logic, these elected officials will have to cover the loss revenue due to reparations. The provisions of making up loss revenues must be included within the legislation in order to make fiscal sense. In other words, you cannot divorce reparations merely as a social legislation without taking into consideration the economic impact.
But what I'm trying to understand is how someone can look at this issue and not see how this will have a negative impact socially. See, this is more than mere social programs. Social programs are administered by social institutions. Social institutions are institutions that are financed. So there are some social institutions that are in place to enforce laws that protect minorities from discrimination and harrassment. These social institutions budgets may be cut or eliminated in order to pay for your reparation. Why? Because an ethnic minority is the beneficiaries of the reparation, thus burdening the other ethnic minority and the ehtnic majority to make up for the loss tax revenue. But the US government still has to function, so the only way to do so is to either employ a huge tax increase, or to reduce spending by cutting items within the budget. Guess what you think they will do?
But perhaps I can be educated and see how reparations can be a good thing for black people. Tell me, how will you, Divine, ensure that our freedoms remain intact meanwhile cutting billions from the US budget? (And if a 20-year halt of taxes on African-Americans would be in effect, you're talking trillions of dollars.)
Oh, and how can you ask boldly for these reparations while not fearing financial retribution from the other taxpayers? And how do you believe the government will pay for these reparations?
Oh, and don't merely critique my posts just to poke holes. Offer real suggestions. Any fool can poke holes. My 8 year-old son can read posts and poke holes. That only masks the deficit of real ideas.
