      They should be compensated for the businesses that were looted. That’s stolen property and assets.

      You sound ignorant. You act like the survivors of that massacre just started speaking up. It's the internet that brought this tragedy to the forefront. Because many of us didn't know about it. But when we started seeing stories about it over the net. We started putting pressure on elected officials to acknowledge it and compensate the families

      @@remingtonsteel585 Why is everyone stuck on someone not being alive to do the right thing by the survivors? No one took that half baked excuse when it came to giving the victims families of 9/11 compensation and the perpetrators died with them. This is just another excuse by whites to not do the right thing when it comes to black people

    • @remingtonsteel585

      The 9/11 Compensation Fund is a poor example. "The September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) was created by an Act of Congress, the Air Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act (49 USC 40101), shortly after 9/11 to compensate the victims of the attack (or their families) in exchange for their agreement not to sue the airline corporations involved." The families were compensated in exchange for giving up their rights to sue the airlines for wrongful death, not because "Some people did some things. Here's some money." In effect, survivors/their families were bought off to keep the airlines from being sued into potential oblivion. This protected airlines, while also giving survivors/families much more immediate *and guaranteed* monetary awards that years long lawsuits could not guarantee. There is a reparations program in Tulsa in the form of a college fund that was set up, but that is all I know. There could be other things. Local problems should have local solutions.

      @@michaelknight8895 Ireland may support Palestine, but *my* ancestors have been American for hundreds of years... As for reparations, I'm just saying that there are a _whole lot_ of people who deserve reparations if you want to go down that path.
      I also don't see how reparations are legally and morally possible. 1) The perpetrators and the victims are dead. 2) The children of the perpetrators are innocent (just as all children are) and besides, it's not like they actually benefitted from their parents misdeeds.
      I knew a man who had purchased a piece of property, from a lady who never bothered to complete the paperwork with the city. She eventually died, and the city resold her property (which my buddy had purchased from her) to someone else. *He had no legal recourse.*
      Was it wrong? Absolutely! But that didn't change the facts. I think this situation is similar in those regards.

    I shouldn’t have to pay for something I didn’t do, and they shouldn’t be paid for something that didn’t happen to them. This country is all about individualism when people are making money, but now we have to worry about the collective when someone finds out their ancestors three generations ago suffered. This is preposterous.
