    I'm not sure I understand what you're pushing here or why. I simply relayed articles discussing the idea of reparations as that idea has arisen in the context of the current presidential campaigns of these candidates. that's it, really.

    Well you don't really post your own opinions, so I have to respond to the insinuations of the articles to entertain myself.

    no, that's fine, I get that. The big name for pro-reparation arguments is Janna Thompson, and the most influential non-reparations argument is probably Jeremy Waldron

    on edit: here's a nice plain language summary of the pros and cons of arguments about reparations: http://www.crf-usa.org/brown-v-board-50th-anniversary/reparations-for-slavery-reading.html

    I'm guessing nobody fact checked this one and looked at it anywhere but in a fuzzy screen grab taken at an angle.

    I can see how, if you spend all day polishing your lawn jockeys, you might come to that conclusion.

    Looks like a jug with handles to me, though. But run with it if it makes you happy.

    You're just playing stupid, right? It's the angle it's being viewed from.

    Does James Woods ever have anything positive or uplifting to say? Everything he seems to discuss is nasty and divisive and angry.

    I’m glad you pay your bills on time... it’s a start.

    Good for Warren. I like her even more. Pence is a liar, and actively pursues bigotry. I don't think the potential leader of the free world should call that decent.

    I wonder if many Christians who share the VP's views will make the connection and realize she just called them indecent. Good luck winning in the Red leaning areas.... Hey let's call everyone deplorable next.

    Warren will lose because she has aggression issues and will alienate people. Watch.

    No. He’s not a decent man.

    Talking in a soft tone, staying sober at dinner parties to prove a point, and going to church on Sunday’s does not make you a decent man.
