  1. Whether or not racism/slavery/white supremacy was going on in the UK is irrelevant to America's founding being tainted by that poison.
  2. It's like you...woke up or something. 😮
  3. Something is better than nothing. Perfection is the enemy of the good. All those tropes.
  4. I found a second wind
  5. lmao fuck off you troll. I'm too lazy right now to even neg you
  6. Cloak Room is so fuckin' mean i stg 😭
  7. Honestly, if you actually read and process the whole of Ta-Nehisi Coates' essay and are still against reparations for slavery, you need to do some soul-searching. It doesn't make you a racist necessarily, but there are some parts of you that need to be laundered and aired out.
  8. Or a tax credit, like has been mentioned plenty of times. Jfc, I was making the point that there has been a case already in America where the amount was "enough." And not Incredulity's bitch-made conservative whining about government spending
  9. Remember how, after 1993 when we sent reparation cheques to every Japanese American who was interned in concentration camps during WWII, we kept sending them cheque after cheque after cheque because "the answer to this is always, more?" I 'member.
  10. Nothing noble about it. Contributing to his metrics makes me feel icky, so I don't do it. I certainly don't consider anyone who has an account on twitter still to be a Nazi sympathizer, but it's not for me.
  11. If you didn't read it when it was first published, start here: The Case for Reparations I don't have a subscription to the Atlantic anymore, but 12ft.io works for this link. It is worth your time. ETA: fuck me it's almost the tenth anniversary of this
  12. I don't remember if it was this thread or not, but seeing the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich talked up was enough to get me to finally start my audible copy. I'm like less than two hours in and the parallels are fucking horrifying. Like, it's nothing I haven't assumed/generally known, but the deep dive into it is staggering with how perfectly it lines up.
  13. Did this not count? Or is it just url preview?
  14. They were a nonprofit legal service with an office/section focused on employment law. 🤷‍♀️ No cash for a "legit" one at the time (or now lol) They said they thought I had a case (I'm a good contemporaneous notetaker), and I could fight if I wanted, but that I would almost certainly lose due to the imbalance of resources, and even if I didn't, the process would probably tear my life up. I asked a couple of my lawyer pals in private practice (none specializing in employment discrimination, tbf, but one of them has some experience with it). They said the same. I need to find out how to meet George Soros. 🤔
