Quote HistoryQuoted: Given the hardened liberals that I know, this is an accurate summary. They can easily separate their private lives from their public persona. The West End of Richmond was full of Lexus driving Karens with Bernie and local private school bumper stickers. Can you tell Miguel to wash the Beemer today? |

Its ironic that the party that had slavery as it's political platform is able to use reparations as a way to load up on cash. The Democrat party should pay the Republican party reparations.

It breeds dependence, and reinforces to slum dwellers that they can't do anything productive on their own and need the Karens around to manage things for them. |

Quoted: Any person with any self respect will leave and let the rich SJWs fund the Democrat's money laundering scheme to take taxpayer money, "reparate" it to the neighborhoods....and then the same politicians will go get "donations" that come from those funds. The "Detroiting" of Asheville is almost complete. https://www.wyff4.com/article/asheville-passes-reparations-resolution-in-historic-vote/33319471 30 years ago I wanted to move to Asheville. It was a great town then. we need to stop framing this shit in turns of "X Town\City\State" is done for", because this shit is coming everywhere. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: NC style pulled pork bbq is amazing. Meh idk, I ate pork bbq & pork products in general all the time growing up here, until I married a Texan. Now the only pork I touch is Bacon, liver mush & sausage. You can’t pay me enough to touch a pork chop, tenderloin, or shoulder. Pigs are trash meat imho, there just isn’t a substitute for bacon  . These days it’s all Beef brisket, Beef ribs & steak for me.

This would be true, if Asheville wasn't already very far down the path to ruin. This just is accelerating that process. Greenville, while not perfect, is still "savable", even though we are being invaded by NY and NJ types. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Reparations would be great, if they came with an agreement that said, "After this, that's it. No more. We're done." Which is why they are framing it as payments to an area / group, not individuals. So long as an area or group is still defined as "suffering" (and it always will be)... The payments will continue indefinitely to match. |

The resolution does not give direct payments to descendants of slaves, but instead allocates money to areas that traditionally see racial disparities. Oh man, so the money will go to even less use than if they just gave it to people. |

Gosh, probably 3 or so years ago we were meeting some people for lunch downtown. We were living in Waynesville at the time and somewhat sheltered from the Aville insanity. I was carrying our newborn baby girl and crossing Patton Ave downtown. I was also wearing a back the blue shirt, which I swear to my wife wasn’t intentional. I remember a newer a Subaru pulling alongside us, filled w black-clad, trustafarian, Warren Wilson students who started screaming F the police and whatever BS they spout. I turned to my wife and was like, “see these people are real - and they’re fucking crazy.”
We have a bunch of old friends there and I fear it’s still my wife’s retirement choice. I’ll hold off as long as I can. |

No direct cash payments -- reparations people will NOT find this acceptable, and the race rioting/baiting will continue.
At best, this will be described as a "good first step", meaning "Fine, but keep going -- the Descendants of Slaves deserve direct reparation" |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Reparations would be great, if they came with an agreement that said, "After this, that's it. No more. We're done." That's the problem -- reparations will NEVER be done; it will NEVER be enough. If you can give free money to blacks as "Descendants of Slaves" TODAY, it is RACIST to NOT give it to their children, and their children, etc etc. Which future generation will say, "No thank you. We don't want that reparation money -- we're good". That will NEVER happen. "Are there still some people in the USA who are racist? (in our view) Yes? Then the work of reparations isn't done." |
