No one is asking to deduct a reparations payment from your paycheck. It’s merely a line item in the existing budget. Sheesh.
Comment on How are slavery reparations fair?
tinyVoltron@lemmy.world 1 year agoI’m a white guy in the Northeast US. My family came from Canada in the early 20th century. None of my grandparents ever owned land. They all were either homemakers or menial laborers. My family didn’t own anything until the 70s. Should I pay reparations?

They’re still his taxes that he paid. But it’s still a better use than bombs.

No, you should not pay reparations.
The government that was responsible should, though. It’s its own, independent entity.
