The author is arguing that slavery reparations should not be implemented, as the plaintiffs lack evidence to back up their claims. The author also argues that the responsibility for reparations lies with Congress, not the courts.

A federal judge in Chicago on Monday dealt a blow to the reparations movement by dismissing a lawsuit against 18 banks, insurers, railroads and tobacco companies that African-Americans say profited from slavery. The plaintiffs were "trying to assert the legal rights of their ancestors" without proving they had been injured by any of the companies they sued, said U.S. District Judge Charles Norgle. Norgle said the plaintiffs could file an amended lawsuit after reviewing his opinion but gave them little reason for optimism. Courts lack the constitutional authority to decide the question of reparations for slavery, which should be left to Congress, he said. Norgle also said the statute of limitations had run out on crimes committed during the slave era, ended in 1865. The plaintiffs, dozens of African-Americans who said they are descendants of slaves, demanded compensation from big-name corporations but never put a dollar amount on their claims. They argued companies should put profits from slavery, plus money that should have gone to pay slaves, into a trust to benefit African-Americans. Defendants included banks J.P. Morgan Chase and FleetBoston; insurers New York Life, Aetna and AIG; investment banks Lehman Bros. and Brown Bros. Harriman; railroads CSX, Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific; cigarette makers Brown & Williamson, Loews and Liggett Group. The lawsuit has helped spark a revival of interest in the issue of financial restitution for slavery. The issue has been the subject of intense debate on college campuses, at legal seminars and in the media. The plaintiffs tried to get Norgle to step aside in the case, arguing that he was anti-plaintiff and had a conflict of interest because he once worked for a Chicago bank bought by J.P. Morgan Chase. He denied the motion Monday. Roger Wareham, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said they will file an amended lawsuit in coming weeks and appeal if Norgle dismisses the lawsuit again. But Deadria Farmer-Paellmann, a legal researcher who was lead plaintiff, said reparations advocates will start using other tactics to pressure companies accused of profiting from slavery. "The next stages will include boycotts and ads in university (newspapers) and major press." The dismissal brought a subdued reaction from some defendants. Spokesmen for New York Life and Aetna said their companies deplored slavery but wanted to be judged by the way they treat African-American employees and customers today. Norgle, in his opinion, said he was not condoning the "historic injustices and immorality" of slavery. "To suggest that the lions have won again and that the court is impervious to the human suffering at the core of this case would be absurd," he wrote. Provide a 75-word minimum summary & reflection on What is the author arguing? And What information could you'd possibly use for your argumentative research essay to support your argument of slavery reparations should be implemented because of the lasting impacts of slavery on black americans, the economic benefits of reparations, and the moral obligation to right past wrongs?

The author is arguing that slavery reparations should be implemented because of the lasting impacts of slavery on black americans, the economic benefits of reparations, and the moral obligation to right past wrongs. They suggest that reparations could include payments of trillions of dollars to individuals, and that this would be a better way of focusing attention on individuals' personal responsibility for their own unique lives rather than on abstract, collective entities from the past.

The issue of reparations to Black Americans as payment for damage done as a result of years of legal slavery and subsequent discrimination is back on the table. The House Judiciary Committee just held hearings on H.R. 40, which would establish a commission to look into ways in which African Americans could be compensated, including possible payments of trillions of dollars to individuals. The commission would examine the role of government in supporting the institution of slavery, "discrimination in the public and private sectors against freed African slaves and their descendants" and "lingering negative effects of the institution of slavery ... on living African Americans and on society." My ancestors were slaves. And my life as a young woman was a mess. Was my life a mess because my ancestors were slaves? I don't think so. My life was a mess because I lived a wanton, irresponsible existence, defined by promiscuity, petty crimes and scamming the nation's well-meaning but totally confused welfare system to the greatest extent of my ability. Did I need reparations to turn things around for me? Certainly not. I needed a wake-up call, which, to my great gratitude, I got, from a few church-going Black Christians who told me the way I was living was unacceptable. I went to church, took back responsibility for my life and turned my circumstances around. The problem with the idea of reparations is it redirects attention away from exactly where attention is needed: on individuals' personal responsibility for their own unique lives. And it redirects attention in such a way to encourage individuals to believe that some abstract, collective entity from the past is the cause of all their individual problems in the present. Compensation for damages is a basic legal principle. It's about personal responsibility. Individual A sues individual B for damages caused. Exactly what the damages were and exactly how B injured A must be shown in a court of law. Today, only a small fraction of our population has ancestors who were around before 1865 when slavery was legal. The idea of collective guilt, with no specific individual identified as causing the damage and no specific individual showing how he or she was damaged, doesn't fly. If there is any legitimate claim of collective guilt, it is the guilt of original sin, which we learn in the book of Genesis. Every man and woman is imperfect and responsible for fixing themselves -- and, by doing so, helping to fix the world. There is no word more frequently used in political discussions than "freedom." But rarely discussed is what gives meaning to the word "freedom," and that is understanding that individuals have free choice -- the power and responsibility to choose how to live. Only when we understand that there is good and evil, that there is sin, does free choice have meaning. It means individuals have the power and responsibility to choose how to live -- that their individual choices matter. Driving the push for reparations are policies on race that obliterate this key idea that every individual, regardless of circumstance and history, is unique and has free choice. The political idea of freedom becomes irrelevant because free choice becomes irrelevant. So-called critical race theory says everything is about culture. Because, per their claim, the USA is about what they define as white culture, the cultural script needs to be rewritten to make things fair for those who are not white. Put politicians in charge of making things fair. No, I am sorry; I always thought the problem with racism is it denies the uniqueness, dignity and personal responsibility of each individual. If the ideal we seek is a free country with free citizens, then commissions such as that proposed in H.R. 40, which pretend to be about justice but are really about a left-wing agenda to put government in charge of our lives, are not the way to go.

The author is arguing that because of the lasting impacts of slavery on black americans, America owes them reparations. The author cites statistics that show that more than 33% of adults don't know how widespread slavery was in America, and that Black people are still traumatized by it. The author also cites research that shows that physical and psychological health disparities remain among black Americans today due to slavery and its effects. The author believes that if Congress passes the Re

In the 1980s, a teacher introduced an eager group of students to the rigors of history by stating that slavery was not that big of a deal. Most people, this person said, only had one or two. Those comments didn't come from a place of isolation. More than a third of adults don't know how widespread slavery was in America, according to a 2019 Washington Post-SSRS poll. As a girl in that Maryland classroom, I was flabbergasted by comments from a person I once admired. It was obvious to me that my teacher's assessment of slavery (in addition to being inaccurate) was missing a sense of humanity. America's 200-plus years of chattel slavery, breeding and mistreatment was inflicted on millions of African Americans. Today, I analyze that moment as one surrounded by multigenerational trauma. The Black students in that classroom were essentially told our history of struggle didn't rate in the schema of human tragedy. And that white teacher lacked the empathy to properly inform students about the horrors of one of the worst periods in American history. The fact that Black emotions don't get acknowledged – whether hundreds of years ago or in a classroom in the 1980s – is a hard truth in America. So is the revelation that Black people are still psychologically traumatized by slavery. And those scars don't just appear after new forms of discrimination. From slavery to police brutality Dr. Cheryl Grills, a clinical psychologist specializing in Black trauma, says our hypervigilance is a carryover from bondage – reenforced every time we see a video of a police officer killing a Black man on camera. Dr. Joy DeGruy calls these lingering coping mechanisms Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome. Congress is taking small steps toward publicly acknowledging the nation's history of racist oppression. Last month, members heard from victims of the Tulsa Race Massacre. And Juneteenth, which recognizes the end of slavery, became a federal holiday. But as activists tally the economic hardships caused by slavery and racism to push for federal reparations, how do we reconcile the much less visible but no less damaging mental health vestiges that slavery left behind in both Black and white America? Plenty of slaves documented mental anguish, escaped slave and abolitionist Frederick Douglass among them. He described being taken from his grandmother – who provided the only comfort and home he had ever known – when he was not even 7. DeGruy talks about slave women and girls having been raped much more frequently than most people realize and cites census records that show 600,000 mixed-race kids born in the mid-1800s. Charles Ball, sold throughout the mid-Atlantic, witnessed a beating so severe, the slave was confined to bed. How could that moment not instill a sense of paranoia and paralyzing fear in the slaves who saw or heard about it? Bodycam footage of police brutality triggers the same fear stressors and responses today, says Grills. And though we now can certainly fight back against brutality in ways that slaves couldn't, the hypervigilant response persists. Slaves built America. And slavery was codified by our Constitution. The United States was one of the last countries to abolish it. While other nations were taking steps to mitigate the terrors of the slave system, our Founding Fathers were giving Southern slaveholding states more power by adding a three-fifths clause to the Constitution. If colonists had to pay for the labor that built America, would we still be one of the richest nations in the world? The majority of African Americans moved from the trauma of slavery to other traumas like sharecropping, massacres, convict leasing and, today, police brutality and mass incarceration. All these stressors are detrimental to Black physical and mental well-being, and they account, in large part, for many of the adverse health disparities we face today. DeGruy's PTSS theory also plays out behaviorally. Black mothers downplaying the accomplishments of their children, she says, originated with slave mothers who feared that a child who was publicly praised as gifted or smart would be taken from her. Healing psychological trauma and biases supports the progress of everything else. Dr. John Rich, who teaches health management at Drexel University, is making a start. He is the co-director of the Center for Nonviolence and Social Justice, which gives young Black men a place to heal from the emotional traumas of racial violence. Grills and Enola Aird, founder of the Community Healing Network, established emotional emancipation centers, places for Black people all over the world to talk about long-held psychological traumas related to race. Congress should fund places of psychological and emotional healing modeled after Rich's emotional trauma centers and Grills' and Aird's emancipation hubs all over the country. And the services should be free to both Black and white people trying to work through issues related to race. Asking for repair is not about placing blame or evoking shame or guilt among white America. Talking about the psychological ramifications of slavery in modern-day society is not an attempt to minimize the progress, capabilities or successes of African Americans. The conversation surrounding repair is a call for the nation to face the hard truths of our history, look deeply at the role that various institutions, including the federal government, played and find ways to rectify the abuses that caused long-term damage. Repairing all of America Slavery didn't just damage Black people. It damaged white people, too. My teacher's inability to express empathy for Black suffering wasn't created in a vacuum. That mentality – whether held by members of Congress, health care professionals, teachers or cops – has to die for our country to make progress that benefits everyone. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee recently talked to me about the importance of H.R.40 – a bill that calls for the study of discrimination and reparative proposals – and choked up at the thought of Juneteenth legislation passing in the House and becoming law. On Thursday, it did. "If we can pass this and if we can feel the joy instead of the pain, then I think we'll open the door for H.R.40," she said. "The world understands reparations. It is an international concept of human rights." If all of that happens, no teacher should ever again perpetuate the misguided and painful notion that slavery was not that big of a deal.

The author is arguing that slavery reparations should be implemented because of the lasting impacts of slavery on black americans, the economic benefits of reparations, and the moral obligation to right past wrongs. They provide evidence that slavery reparations would be beneficial to black Americans, citing statistics that show 40% of black households today live the middle-class American Dream and that by living past 65, my life expectancy may be longer than whites of the same age. They argue

My great-great-grandfather Silas Burgess came to America chained in the belly of a slave ship. He was sold on an auction block in Charleston, S.C., to the Burgess Plantation. Orphaned by age 8, he was fortunately surrounded by elder slaves who, though physically chained, mentally envisioned themselves as free men. They escaped, taking young Silas with them, making their way to West Texas via the southern route of the Underground Railroad. Silas became a risk-taking entrepreneur and the owner of 102 acres of farmland, which he cultivated and paid off within two years. I proudly carry the name of my first American ancestor -- who, like millions of others drawn or brought to our country, struggled past overwhelming obstacles to live the American Dream. Silas founded the first black church and first black elementary school in his town. He was a proud Republican, a devout Christian, the patriarch of a large family, and a pillar of his community. He was proud and industrious and taught his children to be the same. Now, because of him, a bunch of Democratic presidential hopefuls want to give me money. Never mind that like Silas, I am an entrepreneur who has lived the American dream -- having received a world-class education, built businesses, raised a remarkable family and, unlike most white Americans, earned a Super Bowl ring. Because of work I've never done, stripes I've never had, under a whip I'll never know, Kamala Harris, Beto O'Rourke, Elizabeth Warren and others want to give me free stuff. Never mind that it will be taken from others, who also dreamed, worked and sacrificed to earn it. I wonder what great-great-grandpa Silas would think. At the core of the reparation movement is a divisive and demeaning view of both races. It grants to the white race a wicked superiority, treating them as an oppressive people too powerful for black Americans to overcome. It brands blacks as hapless victims devoid of the ability, which every other culture possesses, to assimilate and progress. Neither label is earned. The reparations movement conveniently forgets the 150 years of legal, social and economic progress attained by millions of American minorities. It also minimizes the sacrifice that hundreds of thousands of white Americans and a Republican president made laying down their lives to eradicate slavery. I think grandpa Silas would believe that this historical loss of life alone is payment in full. Every proud, contributing and thankful generation of black Americans since would think the same. The reparation movement also reinforces a spiritual view of racial relationships that is antithetical to America's Judeo-Christian foundation. It defies the ideals of forgiveness and second chances and scorns individual accountability. Proponents of reparations act as though black Americans are incapable of carrying their own burdens, while white Americans must bear the sins of those who came before. The idea of reparations demeans America's founding ideals. A culturally Marxist idea promoted by socialists, reparations denies the promise granted by an omnipotent God that we are truly equal and that regardless of race we are capable of overcoming obstacles and past injustices. By indoctrinating others into this cynical ideology, an elitist class of progressives exploits past differences and ensures that they will divide us in the future. It is their divisive message that marks the black race as forever broken, as a people whose healing comes only through the guilt, pity, profits and benevolence of the white race. This perception is playing out on our nation's college campuses, where young white Americans claim privilege due to their skin color and young black Americans, with no apparent shame, accept this demeaning of their own color as truth. As they repeat this mantra, they seem unaware that this perception was also shared by the 1960s Southern white supremacists of my youth. They have accepted the theory that skin color alone is capable of making one race superior to the other -- that through an irremovable white advantage, with no additional effort, values, personal initiative, honesty or education, white Americans will succeed, while black Americans will fail. At its very core this represents the condescending evil of racism. It certainly does not represent black America's potential. Despite the Great Society programs that introduced all sorts of perverse, dependency-inducing, and antifamily incentives into the black community some 50 years ago, 40% of black households today live the middle-class American Dream according to the most recent census data, making between $35,000 and $99,999. Many rank among our nation's most powerful and prestigious. There are tens of thousands of black Americans among our nation's top 1% of income earners.

The author argues that the reparations movement is divisive and demeaning, and that it perpetuates the spiritual view of racial relationships that is antithetical to America's Judeo-Christian foundation. The author also argues that the idea of reparations demeans America's founding ideals, denies the promise granted by an omnipotent God that we are truly equal, and scorns individual accountability. The author believes that because of these lasting impacts, reparations should not be implemente

My great-great-grandfather Silas Burgess came to America chained in the belly of a slave ship. He was sold on an auction block in Charleston, S.C., to the Burgess Plantation. Orphaned by age 8, he was fortunately surrounded by elder slaves who, though physically chained, mentally envisioned themselves as free men. They escaped, taking young Silas with them, making their way to West Texas via the southern route of the Underground Railroad. Silas became a risk-taking entrepreneur and the owner of 102 acres of farmland, which he cultivated and paid off within two years. I proudly carry the name of my first American ancestor -- who, like millions of others drawn or brought to our country, struggled past overwhelming obstacles to live the American Dream. Silas founded the first black church and first black elementary school in his town. He was a proud Republican, a devout Christian, the patriarch of a large family, and a pillar of his community. He was proud and industrious and taught his children to be the same. Now, because of him, a bunch of Democratic presidential hopefuls want to give me money. Never mind that like Silas, I am an entrepreneur who has lived the American dream -- having received a world-class education, built businesses, raised a remarkable family and, unlike most white Americans, earned a Super Bowl ring. Because of work I've never done, stripes I've never had, under a whip I'll never know, Kamala Harris, Beto O'Rourke, Elizabeth Warren and others want to give me free stuff. Never mind that it will be taken from others, who also dreamed, worked and sacrificed to earn it. I wonder what great-great-grandpa Silas would think. At the core of the reparation movement is a divisive and demeaning view of both races. It grants to the white race a wicked superiority, treating them as an oppressive people too powerful for black Americans to overcome. It brands blacks as hapless victims devoid of the ability, which every other culture possesses, to assimilate and progress. Neither label is earned. The reparations movement conveniently forgets the 150 years of legal, social and economic progress attained by millions of American minorities. It also minimizes the sacrifice that hundreds of thousands of white Americans and a Republican president made laying down their lives to eradicate slavery. I think grandpa Silas would believe that this historical loss of life alone is payment in full. Every proud, contributing and thankful generation of black Americans since would think the same. The reparation movement also reinforces a spiritual view of racial relationships that is antithetical to America's Judeo-Christian foundation. It defies the ideals of forgiveness and second chances and scorns individual accountability. Proponents of reparations act as though black Americans are incapable of carrying their own burdens, while white Americans must bear the sins of those who came before. The idea of reparations demeans America's founding ideals. A culturally Marxist idea promoted by socialists, reparations denies the promise granted by an omnipotent God that we are truly equal and that regardless of race we are capable of overcoming obstacles and past injustices. By indoctrinating others into this cynical ideology, an elitist class of progressives exploits past differences and ensures that they will divide us in the future. It is their divisive message that marks the black race as forever broken, as a people whose healing comes only through the guilt, pity, profits and benevolence of the white race. This perception is playing out on our nation's college campuses, where young white Americans claim privilege due to their skin color and young black Americans, with no apparent shame, accept this demeaning of their own color as truth. As they repeat this mantra, they seem unaware that this perception was also shared by the 1960s Southern white supremacists of my youth. They have accepted the theory that skin color alone is capable of making one race superior to the other -- that through an irremovable white advantage, with no additional effort, values, personal initiative, honesty or education, white Americans will succeed, while black Americans will fail. At its very core this represents the condescending evil of racism. It certainly does not represent black America's potential. Despite the Great Society programs that introduced all sorts of perverse, dependency-inducing, and antifamily incentives into the black community some 50 years ago, 40% of black households today live the middle-class American Dream according to the most recent census data, making between $35,000 and $99,999.

The author of this text is arguing that slavery reparations should be implemented because of the lasting impacts that slavery has had on black Americans. They argue that because of the discrimination and oppression that blacks have faced for centuries, reparations would be a fair and just way to right past wrongs. The author also points to the success that black Americans have achieved since the end of slavery, noting that although there are still challenges faced by blacks in America, they ar

But based on the progress we've made, the money would be better spent on things like healthcare, education, infrastructure and job creation.

This article tells the story of Silas Burgess, a black American who overcame tremendous obstacles to achieve success in America. The reparations movement, which calls for the return of money to black Americans as recompense for centuries of slavery, does not reflect the reality of black Americans' accomplishments or the potential of black America.

My great-great-grandfather Silas Burgess came to America shackled in the belly of a slave ship. He was sold on an auction block in Charleston, S.C., to the Burgess Plantation.

The author is arguing that reparations should be implemented because of the lasting impacts of slavery on black Americans, the economic benefits of reparations, and the moral obligation to right past wrongs. They are also arguing that the facts get mixed up and that guilt is passed ineradicably from generation to generation of white Europeans and Americans.

Prince Charles has flown into a storm in Canada on his royal tour, amid a row about the past treatment of the country’s indigenous inhabitants. It is not simply a question of colonial conquest by the French and the British. Much more recent abuses of indigenous children within residential schools, many of them Catholic, have attracted apologies from Pope Francis downwards. Within hours of the Prince’s arrival, there were demands that reparations be paid. Many Canadians will feel ashamed of what happened in these schools. It can hardly be denied that the motive for setting them up in Canada, as in Australia and New Zealand, was to “civilise” the children, weaning them away from tribal customs, including their religious rituals, native language and ancient crafts. Insofar as these have been preserved, it has been as tourist attractions, stripped of the meaning they possessed for past generations. The most shocking allegation is that the deaths of children were covered up. Patches of land adjacent to the schools have been scanned. Human remains have been identified. On one site, 751 burials have been mapped out. Activists described them as “mass graves”. Here, however, the controversy takes on a new character. Further study of that site has shown that there seem to be plenty of adults buried there; the area was used as a general cemetery. Next to another of the schools, the identification of a bumpy field as a child cemetery depended not on excavation but on a visual survey of the surface, identifying depressions as graves. Archaeologists can do much better than this, even if there are reservations about exhuming people who died in recent decades. The point is not to downplay the horrors of the past. It is that we have become too trusting of activists who demand that we always accept the worst possible interpretation of our history. If apologies are to be offered, it should be on the basis of historical fact rather than supposition – especially when there are calls for financial compensation as well. In any case, are reparations really an appropriate apology? Consider how Germany attempted to make amends for the Holocaust. Families whose property was seized or bought at a laughable price by the Nazi regime fully deserved compensation. But that still leaves unease about the word used to describe the process: Wiedergutmachung, “making good again”. One cannot use money to “make good again” – what will ever make good the annihilation of families or the systematic and sadistic cruelty of the concentration camps? The real value of what the German government offered was its willingness to face the sheer awfulness of what its leaders had done between 1933 and 1945. German atrocities were indisputable. Witnesses are still alive; the documentation is enormous. Pushing further back in time, all this becomes far more complex. If there are doubts about the Canadian residential schools, how many more are there over other events in past centuries? It is one thing to blame Portugal, Great Britain and other European countries for their involvement in the slave trade, but the role of African rulers in capturing and selling the slaves cannot be ignored. Looking at the Irish Potato Famine, we find arguments that the British government acted callously and arguments that it tried to alleviate the problem. The facts also get mixed up. In Florida, the Seminole people have blocked a building project after the 2,000 year-old bones of native Americans were found there. Yet their own ancestors only arrived in the area around 1800, while the Tequesta, whose bones these may be, were expelled or enslaved, and died out. Similar cases have arisen in Australia, where the movement of tribes around the continent has been ignored when bones have surfaced. Underlying all this is the question of Western guilt, which for critical race theorists is passed ineradicably from generation to generation of white Europeans and Americans. It ignores the bloodthirsty history of the Aztecs and Incas, the ghastly history of the mass castration of enslaved boys in Eurasia, not to mention children sent down British mines, mass burnings by the Inquisition – the catalogue of horrors goes on and on. Historians should continue to expound all this as accurately as possible; but paying out large cheques will not alter the past. Provide a 75-word minimum summary & reflection on What is the author arguing? And What information could you'd possibly use for your argumentative research essay to support your argument of slavery reparations should be implemented because of the lasting impacts of slavery on black americans, the economic benefits of reparations, and the moral obligation to right past wrongs?

The author is arguing that slavery should reparations be implemented because of the lasting impacts of slavery on black americans, the economic benefits of reparations, and the moral obligation to right past wronges. The author also notes that this is not something that compensation, reparations, can be paid for.

We have pointed this out before but the idea seems to still have legs. This idea that people now owe compensation, reparations, to those in the New World who are descendants of those enslaved and transported there. Barbados is trying to collect on such a promise - or perhaps construct the argument that such a promise should be made. Lionel Shriver runs back with the usual arguments against. There is a much, much, simpler point to be made. So, make it again we shall. With the possible exception of poor, benighted, Haiti - the poorest place in the Western Hemisphere - those transatlantic descendants of those enslaved are better off than the descendants of those not enslaved in West and Southern Africa. We agree, slavery was vile. Yet the net effect of that movement of peoples, on people alive today, was to make better off those descendants of those enslaved. This is not something that compensation, reparations, can be paid for. No, we are not trying to justify slavery through this argument. No, the suffering then is not compensated for by the position now. Yes, it was a moral outrage and so on - we agree with all of the criticisms of the acts themselves. And yet the impact upon the economic lives of those here with us today was beneficial. Which isn’t something that can be compensated for. Which is, as far as we’re concerned, the end of that argument. We do indeed agree that this current world is not perfect, that things both can and should be done to make it better. Things we should do precisely in order to make it better for all of us - without regard to creed or colour. As Robert Wright points out, peace, easy taxes and the tolerable administration of justice would be a good start. As was pointed out a generation before the end of the slave trade, two generations before the end of slavery. So, about time we got on with it perhaps?

The article discusses the outrage over Republican Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville's comments about Black people and crime, which have been denounced as racist. Tuberville has defended his remarks, saying that he was only trying to bring attention to the issue. Some people say that Tuberville's commentsdemonize African Americans, while others say that he is only trying to help the community. The article also says that there is still a lot of unresolved anger over the issue of slavery, which is wh

Republicans Silent As Tuberville's Racist Remarks on Reparations Spark Outrage By Rachel Looker and Phillip M. Bailey When Alabama Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville's promoted a racist narrative about Black people and crime at a campaign rally Saturday, it outraged civil rights leaders and many political pundits, who condemned them as out-of-bounds. Weeks before the midterms, the fallout from Tuberville's incendiary remarks has drawn condemnation from critics as Republicans push to spotlight crime ahead of the elections. The same of what we've seen When Harris, the Louisiana State University expert, heard Tuberville's comments, she thought he was "Fanning the flames of hate" and demonizing African Americans. Simelton said lawmakers use racist rhetoric not only because it is what they believe but also because they want constituents to hear it and react, referring to cheers from the crowd after Tuberville made his remarks. "As a coach and mentor to countless Black men, Tommy Tuberville has done more to advance Black lives than most people, especially in the Democratic Party" Reparations a divisive issue among Blacks, Calls for the country to make amends for slavery, whether through direct payments, land grants or other resources, have been debated since the end of the Civil War. "Right now, there's millions of white American households who have 50% to 100% more in their savings than the average Black household,' Nelson, who is half Black and Native American, told USA TODAY. As of 2019, the median white household held nearly eight times more than a Black household, according to a Brookings Institution analysis."And why is that? Because they have a history of being able to have generational wealth that has been categorically denied from Black people" Dorothy Savoy, a 56-year-old Navy veteran from Houston, Texas, who is a registered independent, said Ilawmakers such as Tuberville don't understand the suffering Black Americans like her endured during slavery or what is owed to their descendants. " Royster, who is Black and a registered Democrat, said he found it ironic that Tuberville inserted the issue into the national conversation given that the senator coached college athletes.

The authors of this article are arguing that it is morally obligatory for the United States to implement reparations for the negative impacts of slavery on black Americans. They go on to argue that the economic benefits of implementing reparations would be significant and that the lasting impacts of slavery on black Americans would be alleviated.

Tommy Tuberville's racist remarks on Reparations have sparked outrage among civil rights leaders and many political pundits, who condemned them as out-of-bounds. The outrage comes as Republicans seek to highlight crime ahead of the midterm elections.

In the article, the author argues that descendants of those enslaved in the New World are better off than descendants of those not enslaved in West and Southern Africa. They argue that compensation, reparations, cannot be paid for because the suffering then is not compensated for by the position now. They also argue that the impact upon the economic lives of those here with us today was beneficial.

We have pointed this out before but the idea seems to still have legs. This idea that people now owe compensation, reparations, to those in the New World who are descendants of those enslaved and transported there. Barbados is trying to collect on such a promise - or perhaps construct the argument that such a promise should be made. Lionel Shriver runs back with the usual arguments against. There is a much, much, simpler point to be made. So, make it again we shall. With the possible exception of poor, benighted, Haiti - the poorest place in the Western Hemisphere - those transatlantic descendants of those enslaved are better off than the descendants of those not enslaved in West and Southern Africa. We agree, slavery was vile. Yet the net effect of that movement of peoples, on people alive today, was to make better off those descendants of those enslaved. This is not something that compensation, reparations, can be paid for. No, we are not trying to justify slavery through this argument. No, the suffering then is not compensated for by the position now. Yes, it was a moral outrage and so on - we agree with all of the criticisms of the acts themselves. And yet the impact upon the economic lives of those here with us today was beneficial. Which isn’t something that can be compensated for. Which is, as far as we’re concerned, the end of that argument. We do indeed agree that this current world is not perfect, that things both can and should be done to make it better. Things we should do precisely in order to make it better for all of us - without regard to creed or colour. As Robert Wright points out, peace, easy taxes and the tolerable administration of justice would be a good start. As was pointed out a generation before the end of the slave trade, two generations before the end of slavery. So, about time we got on with it perhaps? What does the person argue about in this article? What is your reflection of the article and state whatever information you could use from the article in your slavery reparations argumentative research essay?

"Tammi said If it's not Related to Def Jam Ffny, I don't Care to Hear it."

The caption accompanying this article will read:

Tammi was confused after her conversation with her girlfriend, so she asked her friend what the response was. Turns out, he was just playing along.

Tammi said If it's not Related to Def Jam Ffny, I don't Care to Hear it Then you said: It Doesn't Matter That I Went on and on About My Point of Not Knowing That You Responded to My Voice Clip Question We Both Did the Same Thing We Did What We Did Based on Our Assumptions We Assumed and Both Didn't Know That the Other Wasn't Mad and That the Other Was Playing Because It Wasn't Said, 1 I Went on and on About My Point of Not Knowing That You Responded to My Voice Clip Question, Because You Never Said We Were Good You Understood You're Not Mad and We Could Move on, I Assumed That You Were Mad Because You Never Letted Me Know if We Were Good I Didn't Get the Hint of You Sending the Screenshot and Message, and 2 You Told Me Obviously I Don't Understand the Meme You Told Me Because of the 2 Jokes I Sent You Assumed That Because I Didn't Let You Know I Was Just Playing She said I dont see any Def Words, I'm Not reading anything you wrote please tell me what is your response to her?

The image accompanying this article will show two people, one of whom is presumably Tammi and the other of whom is presumably the person who Tammi is asking for a response from. Neither of them are saying anything, and it is unclear what the response to Tammi's question is.
