DU PoC, what is your prescription for improving race relations? [View all]
All lot is being asked about what candidates (well one candidate anyway) will do to improve race relations. Not the economics of race, or dealing with institutional or structural racism where it exists, but relations. What could/should a president who get's it do?
Whoa. Asking that question is like tossing a chicken into a piranha tank. Or like tossing a government check into a roomful of liberals. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1242373)
On the other hand, there aren't many verified, bona fide persons of color on DU, so they will just have to make do with posers and do-gooders:

58. Reparations first.
Randy, the OP said PEOPLE of color, not TEETH of color. Seriously, get over the fact that they're called WHITE strips, and use them.
In any event, Randy can pay reparations any time he wants. All he has to do is take the money he gives to his heroin-addicted son, and give it to a "PoC." He may have to drive a long while to find one, mind you, but that's how it goes.

Reparations? How does he who is not black suggest paying for that, since, if Bernie wins, there will be no money left to redistribute?

Looks like Rolex Randy want's to grow his slice of the pie...

There is a better chance of me becoming President then any kind of "reparations" will ever be paid. :rotf:

What's he talking about?
Billions have been paid in reparations since the mid-1960s.
What the Hell was the Great Society and the War on Poverty, if not reparations?

Reparations as they want them is the Holy Grail of unending payments to meet their every desire.

Give them reparations of $1,000,000 each, and within 6 months, they'll be broke, and the rich, who became poor when reparations were ordered, will be rich again.
Then the cry for reparations will appear all over again.
Believe me, I can come up with something to separate them from their newly found riches.

That is very true, but the reason they want them runs much deeper than 'free shit'. Those pushing them know they hold far greater value as an admission of guilt (for something that nobody alive is responsible for), than simply greasing a few palms.
Symbolism and imagery, intended to enable much more of the same, and permanently assign guilt to the innocent, with indefinite political power as the end goal. The payments just grease the skids.

Don`t forget that he/she who wields the checkbook holds the power.

Without a doubt. But that power is in a direct sense, primarily over the takers. Where the people being taken from are concerned, it is much easier to wield power over a people who admit guilt for something they had no part in. The 2008 and 2012 elections kind of demonstrate that. They want to ratchet that up a notch or ten, and for a longer duration.
