    The Romans kind of enslaved everybody... I'm sure most of us have family tie to slavery-generations don't matter. An 'ancestor' is an 'ancestor'.

    Very interesting.

    Im wondering if some of the black business owners on there might be helped by alerting people on yelp that they are actually audacious enough to believe in this.
    Bahahahaha my sides literally cannot contain all the shit what has happened this year. Now some people who have the same rights and opportunity's as every other citizen wants gibsmedats because of their ancestors. Well if it makes the white guilt cucks in college happy then good luck to them. So can I, whose ancestors were also slaves claim reparations even though I am white as were they?
    I may not agree with what you say but I will fight to the death to defend your right to say it.

    Okay, where are my reparations? I'm Irish, my people were brought to America or tricked into coming here and enslaved as well. So where the fuck is my pay back huh? Where is my white guilt?!

    I won't give them a dime. I am not a racist, nor have I owned any slaves. I shouldn't have to pay the debts accumulated by a few members of my race's actions, which happened before anyone in this world was born.

    Why do this sort of thing? Why not instead start a fundraiser for a local park for a new children's play-area, help build a new library, or volunteer at a job-fair? Something that would actually improve quality of life, instead of creating controversial sympathy sites for something you haven't, nor will you ever, experienced in your lifetime.

    Stuff like this makes me want to smack people. With a sledgehammer.

    Hi, I recently launched my design business, SHE PUT THE ACTUAL BUSINESS NAME HERE!, and are looking for help marketing and expanding my brand. I've owned a business before, but interior design is quite different. I struggle with gaining clients in Seattle, because the area is stratified and those who do not look like me are marginalized and the cliques are strong. I feel the best way to succeed in this market is to devise a plan specific to my design expertise and niche. I have some very good ideas, but I need help creating a strategic plan. If you can help in anyway, please connect with me.
    Speechless.

    Not as cringy as the retarded manchildren who try to use kickstarter to get $5000 to start a youtube gaming channel.

    White people don't owe reparations just because they're white. Saying otherwise is nothing short of racism.

    Oh ok, thought you were accusing me of being racist for bringing this tomfoolery to people's attention.

    Reparations for WHAT? I never owned any fucking slaves. None of the people alive today were slaves. Hell, hardly any of the people alive today were alive back when it DID actually suck to be black. If you wanna bring them all back to life, I will go apologize for the behavior of my ancestors, because I know THEY won't do it, but necromancy is still frowned upon here, so I don't see that happening any time soon. But I'll be damned if I'm going to give a single dime to anyone for something none of us were involved in.

    The discussion on reparations breaks down in the first level of logic. It's an interesting point up until you consider time as a factor in the discussion - then it's as silly as discussing whether dinosaurs existed or not.

    By being white you are participating in a culture and society that is inherently racist...or something like that.

    The topic covers giving away money for no reason. I'm thinking you're bothered because you've actually attempted such a kickstarter and are now upset because you have realized the cringy hypocricy that is your life.

    Am I right?
