Robin Diangelo's is very well known on the left and actually very hated by the left. There will always be the pea brains on twitter crying about how all white people are racist and something someone did 5 years ago is racist but those are mainly 14 year olds who dont know what their talking bout

Tax dollars will be used regardless of the payers skin color. I think the people in poor neighborhoods would be thankful their money is going into fixing where they live. Again your taxes going to something else that would help countless people isnt going to harm you. Its not punishment when they use it for anything else; is it?
Also fixing the poor neighborhoods would help everyone who there. If you grow up in a poor neighborhood with bad schools and crime around your chances of becoming a criminal are significantly higher.

i don't think you really understand crt you say that it ignores all other possibilities but it doesn't. They have plenty of evidence to back up their claims. though i would agree there are some leftists who would call anyone racist. You say that critical race theorists say everythings racist yet thats not true. most of the people that do that arent critical race theorists and dont even fullr understand CRT like robin diangelo.

I think we can find some agreement. i do agree that there are quite a few biased news sources. But Trump and most of his followers call every news station that isn't fox news "fake news"

market socialism-Market socialism is a type of economic system involving the public, cooperative or social ownership of the means of production in the framework of a market economy.
Market socialism differs from non-market socialism in that the market mechanism is utilized for the allocation of capital goods and the means of production as opposed to government control. In simple terms, this means that all (or nearly all) firms in a market socialist country would be owned and managed collectively by their own employees

Socialism--Socialism is an economic and political system where the community or state owns the general means of production (i. e. farms, factories, tools, and raw materials.) ... Socialists believe that everything in society is made by the cooperative efforts of the people and citizens. (this is the dollar tree definition its way more complex)

they used to drive black people from their neighborhoods sometimes kill them and accuse them of crimes that would lead to their hanging. now its just a bunch of southern rednecks with no idea what their talking about. that doesn't mean they should not be considered a terrorist group because killings are still happening by them.

Implying that black people are closer to apes is clearly racist if you don't see that your dumb

I do not disagree our ancestors were dark skinned that's a fact. That doesn't prove black people are closer to apes at all.

Im aware of that but you don't have any evidence as to black people being less evolved. Again if your only evidence is cause they are black you don't have evidence.

Also please provide sources if your only evidence is because they are black then you don't have evidence

lol thats not how evolution works. Africans are black because there's more melanin in their skin then they started spreading out and the melanin came out and people were white that didn't make any more closer or further from monkeys. Also humans are not descended from monkeys they have a common ancestor.

Are modern African Americans better off currently, than the modern day inhabitants of the spot of Earth, their ancestor originally inhabited?

no one owes blacks their tax dollars. would you have problems with your tax dollars going to providing for a race that has been put down by society? would you only allow tax dollars to go into funding city projects?
no ones putting them on a pedestal and saying sorry its called righting a wrong i think that's how it goes.
"You single out 'blacks for lifting, because of 'slavery.
You 'don't single out 'poor people, it's 'black people in your words.
Never mind the conditions in life that led to poor white, Asian, Hispanic, Native Americans to starting behind in monopoly, it's 'specifically the 'black people."
my definition of giving them reparations is fixing the poor areas where primarily black people live.
I'm not singling anyone out fixing poor communities would benefit anyone who lives there regardless of race. though i suppose my wording was quite bad.

"I'm 'attacking, the notion that slavery in the past, harmed the African Americans of today" it did theres plenty of evidence the argument that they would are better off than in africa doesnt prove anything.

"Would modern African Americans be 'wealthier in Africa, had their ancestors stayed?
Never been brought over?"
They were slaves dude they didn't have any money nor could buy anything. also i'm not going to assume anything but when I argue with neo-nazis they use this to defend slavery. Though i dont think your defending it at all; but people could take it as that

"'I didn't put 'anyone into slavery, 'nor keep anyone in slavery." no one said you did your not being punished your tax dollars are just going to something else.
"BAH! I say, shall we repay Mexico for Texas, the Native Americans for the blasted third of the continent, the Chinese for our escapades there, crawl on our knees a scrabbling to the middle east apologizing for all our drone strikes, say sorry bout the nukes Japan?
Shall the descendants of the Russian serfs be paid, shall we give way all our money goods and territory to Africa that they don't 'feel bad of their circumstances?
In the words of South Park, shall I apologize to Jessie Jackson?"
this is a common argument but it doesn't give any evidence as to why we shouldn't fix the conditions of most black people in america. also what you provided does not negatively affect anyone today besides countries territories.

@Sum1hugme
"Why should I, as a tax payer, have to pay reparations to someone I have never harmed in my life." your tax dollars going to something else that will help a community that was put down for over 500 years isn't harming you just like your tax dollars going to a city project isn't harming you.

@Lemming
If you put someone in slavery for 400 years then segregation for 150 years and then you make segregation illegal but don't do anything to lift them back up out of poverty the fact remains.
If your playing monopoly and your opponent starts with way more money and gets 1 hour to play before you can join the game you're gonna lose the game.
