Reparations Happy Hour Invites White People to Pay for Drinks

[CharlesDavenport]

In Portland, Ore., organizers of the “Reparations Happy Hour” invited black, brown and indigenous people to a bar and handed them $10 bills as they arrived, a small but symbolic gift mostly funded by white people who were asked not to attend.

Only in Oregon..

Mr. Whitten said he hoped the event, in addition to building community, would call attention to reparations, the concept that black people should be financially compensated for the generations of trauma that preceded them.

What community is it that they are building? The community of black people who want white people's money for no reason?

Anticipating some criticism, he noted that it was not meant to diminish the seriousness of reparations. Should anyone question why white people were not invited, he said, “They show up by donating to make sure the event happens.” More than 100 people, not all of them white, donated, he said.

While white people are not invited, they wanted whitey to know that they know they can't be avoided avoided, and they look forward to letting them pay for their drinks once a month while they campaign to confiscate reparations from something that was not done to them from people who had nothing to do with it.

“White people, we have love for you, and we’re going to see you. We can’t not see you,” he said. “Once a month we’re going to have these two special hours that we cannot get anywhere else.”

Now pay for my drink, honky!

Their parents must be so proud.

Two things. You are not entitled to damages for something that never happened to you. The last person Who was born as a slave in the United States died back in the early 1950s. The transit Lantic slave trade was known as triangle trade because the ships sailed from the Americas with cargoes of rice tobacco indigo and cotton to Europe, then to Africa with cargoes of trade goods, where they traded these good for slaves. Then back across the Atlantic from Africa to the Americas. Why does the crowd that is agitating for reparations never talk about the fact that it was black Africans who were selling other black Africans into slavery why does the crowd that is agitating for reparations never talk about the fact that it was black Africans who were selling other black Africans into slavery. ?

That would be an uncomfortable truth, just like it was Democrats who voted to keep slavery, voted for Jim Crow laws, backed the KKK, and voted against the Civil Rights Act. Democrats started the Vietnam War and it was a Republican who ended it.

not to mention it was the muslims who ran the slave trade.

Gee, its hard to believe that race relations are getting worse. Normal people are getting up and going to work, and this **** is making news.

Because its being exacerbated by white guilt liberal fucktards.

Look at these sorry *** *************...if not for the kids, I'd wish for a cliff straight ahead.

In light of this, I encourage everyone here to go look up the "Reparations" episode of Chapelle Show. Sheer and utter genius....and with a valuable message. If more people could laugh at themselves the world would be an infinitely better place. It always killed me when Chapelle does the character while in "White Face" while doing the completely stereotypical uptight and entitled white guy. In that episode alone he hits stereotypes for White people, Black people and Hispanic people in a 5 minute period, lol.

It's a shame that the majority of the people living in Oregon happen to live in Portland and Salem .The rest of the state is pretty normal except Ashland.

And it's really pretty much confined to the urban areas. The Dems, mostly black Dems, who run the places need to keep the plantation riled up and place blame elsewhere lest the plantation figure out that the party they've been voting for for 50 years isn't helping them.

You may remember my stories from being a hurricane relief volunteer at a church in the Florida Keys last September. Here and there groups from other churches up north would arrive in a bus or van to help out. Several of said groups were from black churches. Nicest people, probably because they were religious folk from rural GA, AL, and MS and not raised in an impoverished city where they get taught that they don't have nice things because whitey took them.

Ron's plantation analogy is quite apt, the DNC is just using them to farm for votes instead of cotton.
