I agree with not handing out individual reparations to every black person. Targeted programming is a way better reparation -A Leftist

Telling people they should spend less than they make is absolutely useless as public policy As far as everything else? Once again we don’t need all your special programs to succeed. Just equality

As someone from an area with a large quantity of impoverished black individuals, I promise that if they were handed a check the money would likely be abused and they would fall right back into the cycle. A lot of people in my community are drug addicts as well and if we hand them a check and say! Yeah go wild! That’s probably what’s going to happen.

Yes absolutely it is. Creating programming surrounding education, finance literacy, community building, a resource center for those who are homeless (shelter, food, water), medical care (both psychological and physical) would be a beautiful start to helping people out of cyclical patterns and benefiting society as a whole

They barely exist and if they do they are not accessible to everyone. Putting government money towards those programs would boost them in a way that more people are benefiting from the programming. Financial literacy is not useless???? Unless mommy and daddy fill out your bank acct statements for you. Educational and career development programs are absolutely necessary as well. Homeless and medicaid solutions are not one-size-fits-all which is why targetting areas with heavy populations of black

Individuals could create more medical interventions that are specific to situations that are prevalent particularly in the lives of black people.

Equality can only be gained be equalizing the pedestals. White people struggle less because for a large population of white people, these resources were historically easily accessible. The way to create equality is to begin to build and change the opportunities that are offered to POC
