I'm not black African, but I don't think that reparations will address the underlying issues affecting the black community

To prioritize this seems to imply that it will happen at some point. I wonder if people really think that is a realistic prospect.

Social etiquette is not unique to our time. And there’s frankly nothing wrong with it. All the panelists claiming self-censorship is an issue on campus fail to define specifically what they’re talking about. I think the Wesleyan Prof. is 100% correct, though goes about it kind of priggish. The real issue is literal censorship sweeping across conservative states against lgbt+ issues, US and AfAm History, evolution, climate change, etc.

I wish the professor on the left was more competent. The one in the middle is so full of his own shit it’s astounding.

What an incredible exchange, but not a match in strength. The superiority of Richard Ebeling's arguments for free market and individual choice under liberal democracy- not "progressive" democracy" is obvious. Marxism never worked even on the theoretical level, let alone in practice.

Cry, cry, cry. How is it that American blacks don’t see the privilege of being Americans and take advantage of all its opportunities much like most new black immigrants and Latinos do? Instead of crying constantly and always asking for handouts?

How in the heck can a Black person voluntarily immigrate to America from the Caribbean or Africa and then make a claim for reparations?😳😳😳…..That is absolutely insane and if you’re dissatisfied with your decision to leave your homeland then you can always return home but you have absolutely no right to be included in the reparations claim that Foundational Black Americans have against the US government based on the 246 years of chattel slavery imposed on our ancestors.

The 246 years of chattel slavery that built America is all the legal argument you need. Either America did build the country and create wealth off the free labor of the ancestors of Foundational Black Americans or they didn’t. The people in America that classify themselves as white are choosing to make this more complicated than it really is because they honestly are still deeply seated in the practice of anti Black racism and they are not for anything that will compensate Foundational Black Americans economically.

Thank God for Leah! She was very eloquent and logical. It was refreshing when she spoke, the other two speakers were not, and are much more politically minded. Especially Lauren. Her points were not logical or Christian. She seems to not be working for God but for the world's acceptance. I pray she turns away from her hypocrisy.

China will fool all this posturing by America and those are going along with it by setting a major trade deal with Taiwan

Reparations are needed

Reparations are necessary!

Even if a netional minimum wage was set, there'd still be differences in weight of dollars accross the state. Less developed places have less income inequality, so higher price differences on products is less feasible. Businesses would either leave that state, or lower their prices. Then someone who came from a richer state would have much more money to spend. They'll flood that place and the prices will jump and you now have more income inequality, and spreading inflation of prices.

Thanks so very much

Honorable, the States created 5 European asiactic native tribes gave them our individual Allotments due us at age 17, gave them our southern family ne-gro Indian stolen farms. The state removed us from the his-story books. Karma is now, End of days. Cynthie the ne-gro Indian Buddha age 62, 4 GENERATIONS OF HEAVY PAIN AND SUFFERING. Mother born in Indian Territory died poor due to stolen Texas land Allotments due her at age 17. NO FORGIVENESS, End of days.

What difference were discussed

People like this make higher education a waste of money regarding education benefits!!!

How much are these black communist, socialist, marxist, and promoters of the most un American tax scam these people ( economics traitors) that would find a tax deduction leaving the middle and lower class people to pay more taxes!!!!!!!!!

If this policy is important than fund it out of your own paycheck, leave taxpayers money out of it!!!

Maybe black people should not write, listen, or promote crime in their culture of rap music over the past 80 years. Even 60 years black sing writers Marvin Gay, Luther Van Dross, and other black entertainers respected women like mothers, girlfriends, sisters, of the girl next door by not calling female h$^, b$%%^, or any other black female as a single mother. Even in the black communities men and women would not go out of the house without wearing something today people would wear to church!!!!! Not wearing their underwear to the local Walmart today!!!! Black athletes, rappers, and black politicians have routinely been found, tried, charged, and convicted of crimes talked-about, song about, made movies about, and practice before children promoting criminal actions of the black community and the perception of black men would be criminal over a white man, black women are more likely to be likely to be a big mouth, mostly under dressed, single mothers,man hating, and family destruction agent in putting blackmen in jail through weaken of black man into simps reacting to feelings like a woman!!!!!!!!

Marxist People like this three black people are going to this country into a communist, socialist, or ignorance of rich people with new REAL PROBLEMS IN LIFE!!!!!

No reparations for you.😅

African American Cash Reparations Now. 💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲 GOD bless U.S.

REPARATION NOW or no VOTE. .

As Sweden &florida have shown this lot were completely wrong

Should have been redone with them all wearing clown masks the massive rise in early death s ,the damage to child mental health &education are just some reasons why no one with any sense will never listen again

Very easy to answer lock your selves up &mind your own business also feel free to take as many clot shots as you want do not come near me &you'll be safe

The hope of reparations in America will continue to be used by the liberal democrats as a stick and carrot issue to ensure black votes. All the while having zero intention on ever making it a reality. They can string them along for the next 100 years with that disingenuous plan.

Persuade? Start suing for unfair treatment, unfair employment practices, and I can go on.

May God bless and keep Professor Darity around as long as possible. We need him, and people like him if we are to get to the promised land of reparations.

Wow. Darity is incredibly sharp and precise.

If a person worked for your company in December and in January before that person got paid, he was run over by a bus. Does your company get to keep his paycheck, or do you give the paycheck to his descendants?

Unless you are talking about dismantling White Supremacy directly, we are just agreeing to play Whack-A-Mole.

One of things I have never heard of in the debate on reparations. Reparations need to be paid to address the harm and damage done. Before we ever start the discussion about money, we have to begin discussing and dismantling the corrupt and lazy thinking systems (racial stereotypes) that were designed to make this happen. Or we are just allowing the oppressors to write a check and go back to what they were doing.

3 black people who have obviously succeeded from hard work now says hand outs is a good thing. They prove that reparations aren't necessary.

My ancestors never had a homestead.

Hi love the show, great debate!! However they need to get to the true issue, and stop using policatically correct words, you should have stopped them..the bottom line is can we persuade white america, without a literal race war..and this wont happen, therefore the thoughts were great. But it ain't gone EVER happen! Miguel Whitehurst

Give it up on reparations - Today's blacks were NEVER slaves, my ancestors were not slave owners.

Darity contradicts himself when he says reparations is not an anti-poverty program, yet be says it should be used to eliminate the racial wealth gap. He doesn't even say narrow the cap. How is eliminating the gap possible, if the vast majority of the wealth is owned by a very small percentage of the people? His statement at 28:30, that reparations is for the purpose of meeting an un-met debt, is the only thing can truly be said about the purpose of reparations. Anything said about what it can or will do is just speculation or wishful thinking. He is as unrealistic as those who say reparation is a transfer of wealth or that it what will finally solve Black-American's basic problem, in his thinking it will eliminate the wealth gap or even significantly narrow it - certainly not by itself. A 'domestic peace dividend' would likely be more effective at eliminating poverty, especially since poverty it is also culture and mindset.

Thank you all for having this conversation and your sponsor .

It was Yvette Carnell who reignited the conversation of Reparations exclusively for Lineage # ADOS , the people you name followed and got the attention from the major media. Reparations is the exclusive unfinished business of Reconstruction, for lineage #ADOS enslaved in the United States, emancipated in 1865, Freemen without land, money to become self-sustaining and build generational wealth. Dr. Martin L. King gave this as a reason for continued generational poverty among lineage #ADOS during his own lifetime. Dr. Mlk Jr. first identified his people as "Descendants of Slaves" Read the chapter in his book "Where do We go from Here." It is the unfinished business of Civil Rights Movement. "We are coming to get the check." MLK. Jr. Especially you, Randall Kennedy. .The US government, State goverments policies, White Supremist terrorism created ADOS to be a permanent poverty caste. Reparations exclusively for Lineage ADOS. Universal Social Protection for all will not lift ADOS out of generational poverty. Professor Darity, it was Yvette Carnel and Antonio Moore who introduced you to their videos and promoted your book. I learned about you through them and brought your book when it debuted. It was their listeners who were the core who got your book to be a best seller. Randall it is hard for me to take you seriously. You are an exception among a permanent poverty class. Thank you Dr. Danity keep the faith and the conversation going with as many people as you can. The US does not owe reparations to Jamaicans, Nigerians their Reparation claims are for their former colonizers , France and the UK. The Continental Africans, Carribean immigrants and migrants are not a part of the Reparations claim of Descendants enslaved in the United States emancipated in 1865.

As a Filipina in STEM pursuing a graduate degree, Marita is a disgrace. She is advocating for special privileges for other POCs on behalf of Asians

Does anyone know what John McWhorter means at the 1:16:35 point in the video when he says that 9 out 10 people redlined were white?

How much are they asking the black African people who have enslaved Africans for over 5000 years until this very day to pay? This rarely gets mentioned which goes to show exactly how racist these debates are.

It's hard to understand how Irshad Manji can consider herself "a faithful Muslim" when the sine qua non of Muslim self-identity is absolute belief in the Qur'an: the thousands of verses supposedly constituting "the last revealed word of god" as transmitted by the (non-existent) Archangel Gabriel to someone we might charitably describe as a Dark Ages merchant in a couple of supposed encounters in a cave; he then supposedly committed all these verses to memory, then found a scribe and dictated them. For Muslims---at least in Muslim-majority countries, and even in the diaspora---no cherry-picking of the Qur'an is allowed, and such questioning is likely to result in nasty threats and worse, as Manji knows to her cost. The Qur'an is a monument to authoritarianism, misogyny, gay hatred, antisemitism, and violent contempt for "unbelievers." Many verses revel in the ridiculous eternal tortures awaiting those unbelievers and others who don't precisely toe Muhammad's line: Allah emerges as a sadistic wingnut, even more viciously depraved than that other patriarchal nutcase Yahweh (and that's saying something). The Qur'an's explanations of natural phenomena are enough to make an intelligent seven-year-old laugh (sperm are created between the spine and the ribs, an embryo begins as a blood clot, there are seven concentric levels of heaven and the stars are set in the closest one, salt water and fresh water don't mix, and other absurdities). Seriously, one might as well believe in Zeus. So how does a 21st-century person possessed of the normal complement of brain cells, literacy, and access to information believe such tripe? It seems to be the triumph of cultural conditioning over critical thinking. I've written to Manji three times to ask her to reconcile her stated belief with her comments, behaviour, and even sense of reality, but she hasn't responded. I'm not surprised. It can't be done.

Why no pushback on the rude comment about Scott Atlas, who has been proven correct about the pandemic?

If genetics attribute blame and financial responsibility then I'll guarantee every single sub Saharan African is more culpable than any white Europeans

Who sold the slaves in the first place? Let’s start there. Doesn’t the genesis of the slave trade obviously began with the ancestors from their native lands who rounded them up like cattle, separated whole families, shackled them and then sold them all for profit? Yet we never here anyone perusing that avenue, much less any honest discussion about it. But why not? Because it is beyond a fools folly and everyone knows it’s absurd. It seems those demanding reparations here must believe enough racial tension and influence has been stirred to get it now, despite a skewed, dishonest and unfair accounting for those who came to America after slavery was abolished and had nothing to do with it. Nevertheless, doesn’t willfully ignoring the initial “elephant in the room” question only serve to fashion the narrative and outcome you’re looking for to cash in on every US taxpayer no matter their particular ancestry, while demanding we acknowledge the lineage of slaves? It certainly appears to in affect. My ancestors from my ancestral homeland in Europe were lorded over by various neighboring conquerors until finally gaining independence just over 100 years ago shortly after they emigrated to America. So should I seriously have the hubris to demand and expect reparations from those conquerors now? It be like a dog chasing its tail to no end. Ridiculous.
