have fed stereotypes and unequal treatment into the systems and even the software that control their output—and who gets to profit from what they create.Juneteenth Isn’t Just a Celebration of the End of Slavery. We Also Honor the Black Americans Who Helped Create Their Own Freedom
That finding will help to form the basis of a second report expected next year, which will focus on present-day remedies. The report captures some of the truth at a moment when more people are willing and able to hear it, Moore says. She knows not everyone in the United States is there, but California is not alone.
This month, the Buffalo Together Community Response Fund opened an initial round of funding to Black-led nonprofit organizations serving needs in the area of East Buffalo where the attack took place. The first round of grants to 80 organizations amounted to about $580,000 and ranged from $5,000 to $20,000 each. Among the organizations funded were a number of food-aid groups and those offering mental-health services.
The California case is quite clear too, he says. A reparations program that focused only on Black Californians descended from American slaves would require $650 billion to $700 billion to close the racial wealth gap in that state, Darity says. The state’s entire annual budget is about $270 billion, with“The problem we have is not so much claiming that California shouldn’t do anything,” he says. “Quite the contrary. The problem we have is with calling what they are doing reparations.
Should be. The Indians are long over due
No. If people get reparations, then we end affirmative action, preferential hiring, and everything. Otherwise then what's the point except to give people money if it doesn't close the problem from the past?
Reparations to who? All the freed slaves are dead and so are their former owners. Lazy people looking for a payday.
Not out of my check they're fucking not.
My grandpa & ma were immigrants-never owned slaves...What’s my taxes got to do with reparations?!
Democrats fire up racial conflict every election year because if the black vote doesn't turn out, they can't win. Democrats want to win to get power so they can ignore inner city blacks for 4 more years. It's loop in history.
Go to California if you want reparations!
No. Democrats will get destroyed in November and you'll see Republicans deny anything related to black causes.
This is so unnecessary and deeply stupid. Juneteenth has been artificially pushed by the media and reparations is unfair in its core because welfare should be colour blind. STOP IT.
It's Father's Day. Period.
How about you do a front page of this Time?
No one knows what Juneteenth is. If we’re going to pass a new holiday, let’s take one away.
They better not be.
If so, it would be smart to buy some stock in some chicken restaurants
I think the amount of stolen goods over the last 2 years are enough, yeah?
Juneteeth ain't got nothing to do with a George Floyd! He never was a slave he was a two bit criminal
Reparations? You mean generations of diversity hiring? The countless equity programs? How many billions/trillions have been diverted this way? For people for whom slavery is nothing more than a historical data point. No amount of money will EVER be enough for these people.
FUCK NO !!!!
maybe fathers being present could be next
There is not one person alive who was a slave Not one. Let that sink in.
Nothing is ever good enough.
Just more evidence of the decline and fall of the USA!
Fuck no
Probably not, because that would be more than a hollow gesture that costs Biden nothing.
Surely this question is intended to create argument. How can we compensate those who were enslaved after the emancipation proc? Nearly every family could argue for some reparation type. My government denied my great grandmother the right to own property, borrow, and vote
55 years ago, we were beaten, tear gassed & trampled by horses. I thought I was going to die. I don't know how I made it back, but I know we cannot rest. We cannot become weary. We must keep pushing. EndTheFilibuster VotingRightsAct USHistory 🇺🇲

Just as soon as the government deducts 65 years of social welfare costs, and returns it to the taxpayer.
No. I never owned slaves, no one in my family ever owned slaves, and even if they did that was the norm at the time, so I'll be damned if I'm paying a red cent towards it.
Reparations is such a divisive issue it could CAUSE another civil war. Democrats had best stay away from it if they have any hopes of avoiding a rout in the midterms.
We gave blacks freedom. Highest murder rate in country. Let’s give them money as well. time is a joke
Want to create hatred and division? Reparations
Not for folks born in my time. The 60s onward. Or some before then. I had parents that struggled. Father born in 1923. Fought in America's Wars, abused by VA, died almost broke if not for SS and Military/Civil Service retirement. He was a slave in the system as well.
Good. We SHOULD celebrate freedom.
So, they're going to print, then give out, money (lot's of it) to people during a worsening fin. crisis, one compounded by supply chain issues & where food/other items are scarce? Those ppl will become flush w/money, making them targets of hatred. Do u c where this is going?
There will be no reparations. They already received reparations every time they mugged somebody at an ATM. So by my estimation that's been going on since the 1980s. They should receive a one-way ticket back to their continent.
reparations should go to anyone who reads this ridiculous article.
Fat chance
Native Americans should get reparations also
This thread is going to be a doozy
LOL
Reparations are just not a political reality. The electorate would never be for them so they’ll never happen.
Nope.
No
Good luck collecting that.
Most definitely. Though we are dealing with white supremacists liberals and conservatives. To liberals are JoeBiden POTUS and KamalaHarris who are both against it!!
Short answer is YES!
SandyDarity Seeing that Black people didn’t ask for this, we don’t care. Cut the damn check for the REASON for Juneteenth! How bout you that?
HELL NO? We dont need to waste taxpayer money on people that had not been affected by it. NOPE!
'Freedom is a constant struggle.'
Who will pay reparations? Whites to blacks or blacks to whites for freeing them from slavery?
Yes indeed. In the form of a one-way ticket to an African nation of your choice.
Reparations would be the stupidest thing ever thought up by any politician!!
Lol those enslaving you are now giving a holiday to make you believe you are free lol and O yea here’s a banana you zoo animal for your reparations lol this is deception for the brainwashed
Rehabilitation. From Slavery.
Its actually kinda smart. All there gonna do is stand in line and buy lottery tickets and it goes back into the economy
Don’t need another “ freedom” holiday. July 4th was Independence for ALL people!!
Who from? Taxpayers?
World know God son and holy spirit love whole worldwide plz put your prayers to mother earth and walk barefoot on the lands like Jesus did
That flag!
Juneteenth is Symbolism
Well....
lol no.
🖕🏼
Yes
FVCK YEA. OR WE CAN JUST WATCH THE COUNTRY CRUMBLE AND BE OVERAN BY CHINESE & MEXICANS. NEVER KNOW.
Paid holiday for federal workers?
We’ve paid reparations since FDR gave us the welfare system. LiberalismIsAMentalDisease
Time is still in circulation, or just a sh!tposting Twitter account?
Reparations for what? Show me a national USA born black person who was a slave and I’ll pay them.
Let’s take care of the climate crisis first.
They ABSOLUTELY should be. Long overdue! The Money and The Policy.
No But the Democrats will keep promising them to buy votes, Just like student debt forgiveness, Stimulus checks and the rest, This tactic is illegal but they keep doing it, Bottom line, They will NEVER do ANY of this crap because they'd have nothing left to bribe with
Put some respect on my black American Indian ancestors of Galveston Texas. That RBG flag has nothing to do with us!
These comments are from allowing ppl to steep in falsehoods for so long they’re comfortable with the lies.
Reparations. Let's make people who were not slave owners pay money to people who were not slaves. Only liberal Democrats could come up with nonsense like this.
Reparations are for the living victims of injustice, not their great great great-grandchildren. Why should a Black dentist making $300,000 a year get reparations?
No
Let me put this in the simplest terms possible. Slavery is fucking awful. I’m not paying for something I didn’t do.
Considering it's the anniversary of Republicans and the Union Army freeing the slaves from Democrats, start with Democrat money. But, I have never been or owned a slave and neither have you, so there's that. Like forgiving student loans.. I had no part in it.
Juneteenth is a moronic, pandering load of tripe.
All bullshit
Forbes reports that Beyonce is worth $440 million, while Jay-Z is worth $1.4 billion
they were liberated, why don't they return to Africa
When do we get conpensation for losing ancestors who fought to free the slaves?
no
Hell no. If you want to pay reparations, go ahead. But hell no to me and the rest of the rational people.
Thou hast lifted up thy self in height have shot up his top among the thick boughs, his heart lifted up to be delivered into the hands of the mighty one he shall deal with thee.
Democrats always claim to have the answer for the problem they created.
Liberal INSANITY
Whites were slaves here long before blacks. We get out reparations first. The more ya know.
Shame, taking attn. away from drag queen month.
Try finding your great grand parents on a slave owner manifest and ask that question again.
Ok reparations but then stop welfare ,public housing,food stamps etc etc ......then it comes out about the same thing Black people would blow their whole reparations checks on a pair of Jordans lol 🤣😂🤣
Maybe instead of focusing on Juneteenth, y’all should focus on Father’s Day.
From who? Their own ancestors that sold them into slavery? Gtfo
God Bless White People
No
No; we've had enough
Fathers Day First!
No, no they are not. The federal government WILL NEVER pay reparations.
What about white Irish slaves? Black slave owners?
Did the US government follow through completely with our promise of 40 acres and a mule? No. We PURPOSELY did not. So something is due.
Should they be billed for reparations for the billions worth of damages from mindless riots?
Those have been paid.
Reparations were already paid, civil war.
Reparations? I’m .000000000001 black give me money
Get this month over with
All slovaks should get reparations, good idea.
GIBS ME DAT!!!!111
Despite
🙄 no.
Yes 👍 I think this should happen
I refuse to pay for something that I was not a part of and would not have been ok with.
Black people have already had reparations in the form of welfare. They actually owe us money now.
To hell with “Juneteenth” and anyone who is happy slavery ended.
Not from me. Feel free to pay them yourself
Reoperations from the Democrats, right? Because the Republicans freed the slaves from them?
Im Irish. Can I get some money as well?
Reparations but only if they are a one way plane ticket back to Africa
They better not be! I didn’t own any slaves I’m damn well not paying taxes for them to go to reparations. Stupidest idea ever!
I would rather go to jail than have my tax money go to reparations.
Whites already pay for the food and housing of more than 90% of blacks in America, and we have to put up with their crime and violence
Why would people who are alive today offer reparations to others simply because of the color of their skin when neither party was involved for the past 150 years
I would rather burn my money than give it to freeloaders 😉
Super Simple Solition: Seize every white-owned home in America, federal government pays off any/all mortgages, and distribute them to every American who is minimum 25% black.
No
Here ya go
Reparations? That's insane. America has a $30 trillion debt to fed res. You are insane, Time
No one knows or cares.
this holiday was created so white liberals can virtue signal without having to actually do something for blacks. This is what they been doing for decades. blacks voted for dems for decades without anything to show for it except things like this that dont make our lives any easier
no one alive today was a slave or their parents or grandparents were slaves. thats how long ago its been abolished. stop blaming others for ur own shortcomings
You’ll never get one red cent out of me
Nope
Nope, Biden sent it to the Ukraine
Lol
For..?
Strange how it's Juneteenth or Father's day
Hell no
Hope not
Affirmative Action was the reparations
I'm an Indian immigrant and moved to this country 14 years ago to study Mechanical Engineering and currently work as an engineer. My ancestors never owned any slaves. Why should I as a taxpayer have to pay? Why should anyone alive today have to pay? Do they own any slaves?
13%
LOL Juneteenth doesn't exist, and neither do reperations 🖕
fukkoff
I am an Asian legal immigrant. I want reparation from white liberals gor keeping putting me down financially and mentally.
You mean all the war dead? No. You get nothing.
Hmmm why immigrants who came here their own will have to pay
Ask Anthony Johnson's descendents, since his lawsuit started slavery in America. He was a black man and not the only black slave owners.
You take my money for shit I had nothing to do with to pay people who don't deserve shit and I will take it back, one recipient, one house, one car or one job at a time. I will finish my time on this fucking planet getting it back.
Click bait from a failing rag.
the most useless holiday
I’m excited to celebrate with RealCandaceO’s BLM documentary. Gonna be awesome!
If a single penny is designated as a reparation, I’ll never pay taxes again.
Slaves in US were poor in Africa. If they weren’t taken here they would likely be living in a shack somewhere with no running water or electricity. Sorry but that’s the truth
No
Zero chance I’m paying a fucking cent to people who have never experienced slavery and of which I have never participated. Zero
Nice grievance bait!
For what? Being an American in 2022? GTFO!!
So believes that black Americans are weaker than other Americans? That seems like TheDemocrats KKK narrative.
Lmao
I already pay taxes for welfare
What’s Juneteenth?
Marxism is next and Civil War. Are you guys ready?
You’ll never get a dime from me
I'm Irish, we get ours first. Then the Chinese for building the railroads.
How about no
😂😂😂😂😂😂 From my cold dead bank account!!!
How can you take money from people who never owned slaves and give it to people who never were slaves?
Is Fuck Off a national holiday
No
Why should people who never owned slaves pay money to people who were never slaves?
FÜÇKØFF…time
Nah
Nah sorry. Blacks are a net negative on on tax revenue, they get reparations every year.
Why shouldn’t the Africans who sold them to the English pay the reparations
Guess who ran the slave trade? It's not hard to find out.
Serious question: As a group are blacks a positive net gain every year for the country? Do they provide more than they require? Taking in consideration EBT, housing, free phones, WIC, destruction, crime, etc? Calling for a civil discussion. Cite your claims.
Tissue?
Reparations for what I didn't do shit. And African Americans alive today were never slaves.
Aren't welfare checks enough?
Oh please stop this bullshit.
When are the hearings for the BLM riots of 2020? 5/29.
No and no.
🤡🤡🤡
Yes, reparations are necessary, Its time to pay back for what was stolen
Democrats took reparations away after they assassinated Lincoln & been promising reparations since then. Black folks still falling for it every election.
So hundreds of billions in welfare over the last 50+ years isn't enough? Maybe the solution isn't handouts...
To whom from whom?
Please take a moment when celebrating to remember the more than 360,000 americans that died to make this possible.
Looooooooooool
No they are not
😂
157 yr debt to be paid in full.
💁🏽♂️ I’m just leave this here i got time today
Am I gonna get paid time and a half for working?
BS
No. The native Americans go first. 😤😤
Juneteenth colors are RED, WHITE, & BLUE. There is no country or continent called Pan Africa & Juneteenth is not about Africa or any other Black ethnic group. American Descendants of Slavery are AMERICANS & have been for 400 + years. Thanks!
The better question to ask is will there be a new flag and do the American people want it?
Who actually pays for the reparations?
IMO, this was written specifically to create these responses. Y'all really should just stop with these disingenuous articles.
Reparations won't stop the insane racist rhetoric coming from the left; it'll only make it louder.
Reparations for what? Get outta here 😂😂😂😂😂
'If only we had been allowed to stay in Africa next to the tribe that sold us into slavery' Said no one ever.
none of my family were here then. we should get reparations also.
Reparations for who— Native Americans, Chinese Americans, Mexican Americans, all others? The list goes on! This needs to stop!
Not woke enough for you eh?
Really? I never had a clue that Juneteenth celebrated the year African Americans in the South were actually told they were free. Before that, even though Lincoln had abolished slavery, they didn't know it. I learned that because of a holiday known as Juneteenth.
Liberty AND Justice for all. The philosophical pillars of the United States. Notice the loudest proponents of Liberty and freedom are church mice on the matter of justice. This is why you can't take Reparations deniers seriously.
I’ll stick to Father’s Day 🙏
No.
Let’s start with social equity first. Reparations can come in many forms.
I ain’t paying shhhhhhhhhtttt
I will file exempt. I do not owe reparations, I refuse to pay for something I had NOTHING to do with. FJBiden
I want money too for doing nothing.
'Excuse me while I whip this out!'
I certainly hope reparations are next
Sure let’s print more money we don’t have to make everyone feel all warm and tingly.
LoL... headlines like this always bring out the slow and insecure white folks
What was affirmative action?
🖕🏼
Juneteenth... A celebration of the emancipation of African Americans...by white people. We fought a war to end slavery. Thank a white guy for Juneteenth.
🌹 The country's current trajectory is leaning towards a return to slavery. 🤔
Let's hope not. If you steal from people who weren't alive to do it to repay people who weren't alive to suffer the crimes of people long dead you're going to get all kinds of chaos. People react badly to being stolen from.
Reparations for what?
