The people behind BLM 100% do not believe anything their organization spouts, they rake in the money and laugh at the dumb liberals that made them rich. Smart.
My black family lives in San Francisco. They are educated, successful in every way, not just financially. They did it with grit, consistency, great choices, and most of all because of their wonderful parents that demanded excellence from their children. Handouts were not in their sights. It's stupid this gaslighting of black people.
Reparations is not a handout. It’s a debt that needs to be paid by the United States government for the enslavement of descendants of slavery in the United States. It’s lineage based not raced based. The very slaves that built the economy and wealth of this country for 300 years gave America a handout by building them a new free country for people to come too. Before Slavery there was no United States until the slaves built it.
The federal government just cut food stamps so radically that many people can barely afford to eat. There are thousands of people with full time jobs in California living in their cars because the rents are too high. Where exactly do they plan to pull this money from? There is zero logic in this situation.
I don't understand why they don't leave. My husband and I are from Lansing, Michigan, and had to move across the country for a better life. Why can't these people do the same? Everyone has a choice.
Holding some one accountable for something they did not do and no one in their family did, to people they never met is insanity. You cant pay for the sins of your fathers if they did not commit such sins. My fore fathers moved to this country long after slavery. Another great discussion Cartier family.
the whole idea of 'paying for the sins of your fathers' no matter what is ridiculous. imagine arguing to imprison all the children of murderers bc what their dads did.....or ordering all the relatives of every dui driver who killed someone to pay up millions of $.....now go back 4-5 generations to their great-great-great-great grandfathers and its even more ridiculous.
Well, actually, this happens in China, North Korea, and pretty sure more countries. Now it's a start of what to come or will happen. Communism tactics.
Also my family came from England to escape religion taxes ... everyone has come from tyranny oppression.... that is why our forefathers wrote ... life liberty and the pursuit of happiness...
@@pmbbmp umm did you miss that they were not here during slavery , so they would not be taking ownership of the sins nor accomplishments. They had nothing to do with either.
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." I guess we're past that sentiment.
I’m Californian, white, live in a working class Latino neighborhood, have mental illness, work for a nonprofit, have a small (one bedroom) house, scraping to pay my bills and my dogs eat better than I do. $600K? My house isn’t worth that much. I’d be on the streets with that bill. You can guess what I think.
Democrats in California would love you to be on the streets. More white homeless people is progress to them. At least the right wants equality for all. The left wants "equity" based on race, which IS racism.
I find it funny how opposed WHITE WOMEN ESPECIALLY START JUMPING ON A SOAP BOX WHEN US BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING SOMETHING. YET YOU SAY NOTHING ABOUT $70 BILLION AND COUNTING ALREADY SENT TO WHITES IN UKRAINE, HONDURAS, ISRAEL ON AND ON. BUT, LISTEN HOW FAST YOU START RUNNING YOUR MOUTHS NON STOP WHEN ME, A BLACK PERSON IS INVOLVED WITH GETTING AHEAD FINANCIALLY. YES, I AM BLACK AND GUESS WHERE I LIVE- IN CALIFORNIA.IF IT WAS WHITE WOMEN LIKE YOU BENEFITING , YOU WOULDN'T HAVE ONE PROBLEM WITH THIS! MY GRANDMOTHER CRIED ALL THE TIME, WHY MY GRANDFATHER WAS LYNCHED IN HIS OWN FRONT YARD ONE EVENING CHRISTMAS BY THE K K K! MY GRANDMOTHER FOUND HIM WHEN SHE ARRIVED HOME FROM WORK! DESPICABLE.
@@gracejones2831 I hope you’re right. Months ago SF was being looted on the regular. A disaster of a city. It’s no wonder so many moved to Texas/Florida.
That's the idea. I've been trying to tell other black people that if this whole reparations thing gains any traction we can expect guaranteed national upheaval. Which again, is the entire point.
Shame on you Frank for not using your 400 year head start prop. It was OK for Jews, Indigenous, Asians etc. It's OK to throw billions away to other countries for nothing, but not for the over 400 years of what was done to blacks, that still deal with hurdles made from your ancestors today.. All because you suck at life. Why is it that when other ethnicities are mistreated, we can feel bad, but not for us darkies? It's a handout, and we will misuse it. Not evey situation in our community today is a result of our failures, but instead the world's hate for our people. Do better next generation. I watched yall cause it was entertaining, and it was interesting to see some views of the next generation. Now I'm scared. I miss black men from my dads generation. :(
I am a 45 year old white man recently married, and grew up poor and worked hard to get what I have now. I started watch the 'Cartier Family' reactions months ago with Metallica reaction videos. I love how you guys are expanding your intake on other topics. It's great to see critical thinking amongst your generation because there is plenty suffering from group-mob thinking. I ask the question to anyone: Are children responsible for sins of their parents? Another example of a lack of accountability displayed in our society. Keep up the reactions! Love the content.
We are devolving as a species. We now live in an age where logic and facts are trumped by feelings. Globalist shills are working hard to push the great reset. Through complete collapse of society, economy or pushing ww3 if compliance is an issue. Race is just one tiny variable of an age old tactic of divide and conquer.
Who cares when the value of a million is at the mercy of people who don't care about poor people. Like 15 an hour the rich will adjust and say capitalism is great!
I am a white 69 year old disabled pensioner living in London. I stumbled across this channel a few weeks ago. How totally refreshing to watch a group of articulate, educated black guys discussing such a wide range of subjects. They are a total credit to themselves and the Black community. Their humour is also impressive, often makes me smile. Keep doing what you're doing Guys... you're great... respect....
They’re articulate and educated-Thats it.color has nothing to do with it-And it’s only “refreshing” if you live in a bubble. There are plenty of young men that are educated and articulate-Be careful how you say things.
This is racist - You think these guys are educated? They are just normal dudes, who are semi educated but CURIOUS (more important) - You have a low standard for black people….why?
“How totally refreshing to watch a group of articulate, educated black guys discussing such a wide range of subjects.” The backhanded compliments you guys leave on videos like this.
I am just sick of CA being run itself into the ground financially and then having the nerve to sue the Fed gov for money so all of us pay for CA being bankrupt.
I appreciate you guys covering this story. I am from the Bay Area live about 20 minutes away from SF. Let me tell you this proposal is BS. Our rents and bridge tolls are ridiculous our purchasing tax rate is 10.75%. An income of $90,000 per year isn’t even considered middle class here. You mean to tell me they want to tax me more to pay for reparations when California didn’t have slavery, miss me with that. I’m Mexican American and in the 1930’s Americans of Mexican descent were deported to Mexico when they had no ties or family there. The Japanese were also put in internment camps in California. Are they going to give reparations to us? I don’t think so. If they start paying people who experienced racism or oppression then they have to pay everyone 🤦♀️If they make us pay wouldn’t that put us in Debt Bondage or debt slavery? Where is the fairness in that? I say everyone should be responsible for the finances in their homes.
Drug addictíon, dropout rates and víolent críme rates. The high school dropout rate for Afrícan American females is 41%, but for Afrícan American males it’s 52%. According to Education Week 26. Those are at least some contributing factors.
I keep asking myself if this will lead to less racism?? I can't help but think it will probably do the opposite. Appreciate you guys and really enjoying watching your reactions👍
I can tell you with full honestly this had and probably will make it worse but you know hella lot of people gonna be pulling the race card on me for speaking out 🤡 😴
You want to know what free money for the rest of your life does to someone? Just look at rich kids who can have anything they want and never have to work if they don't want to. It's really not a fulfilling life, imo. Work does something to your spirit and your entire being. To be honest, I think we actually need it.
Yup look at lottery winners. After 10 yrs only 1% maintain their wealth. A huge number actually regret winning it. There is actually support groups for ex winners. There is a lot to be said for the pride of earning something. All this will do is make all the white people leave SF. And also I wonder in 50 yrs will white people want reparations for the poverty they are in because of this. When does the cycle end.
Working 15-30hrs a week sounds great. But telling that to me who works 60+ sounds like pure bullshitt lol. Not saying I want shit for free but work is work. Fun is fun, work can be enjoyable it's never fun.
@@GhostlyGhille yeah, ideally we’d get to a place where everyone could work 4 days a week 6-7 hours a day without multi hour commutes and that was enough to pay rent and food and have small luxuries from time to time. Then additional work brings the money for vacations or owning a home/land/vehicle. Something like that could work for a large percentage of people. Incentive to work harder for research and development and hazard jobs with the type of pay to secure better things for your family.
What i find hilarious is that not a single person receiving reparations knows what it feels like to be a slave so truly what exactly are they getting paid for ?
SF is trying to act like it's not necessarily just a direct corelation from slavery but someone black that has experienced types of systemic racism in that city due to some history especially in the 1940's etc., and beyond, but don't try to make total sense out of it because you never will. It's ridiculous.
@Vera Lordes they will never shut up because we are entertaining idiots who want free handouts. Where do they expect this money from its not fair to ask money from people who were never slave owners and give it to others who were never slaves, its completely asinine
@@seleviathan Some of us have sense. I'm black and I don't want reparations and never asked or received free handouts. Not all of us buy into this ridiculousness, thankfully. Unfortunately, the liberals stoked this crap during the BLM crap and fueled the fire. It's ridiculous and embarrassing. There are too many who do want a free handout. Blaming others just occurs so people don't have to take personal responsibility for their actions. Opportunity is out there for everyone and we all have choices. I hate this nonsense has even gotten this far.
I love what you guys do! Keep going, keep having these discussions. I love hearing everyones perspectives, I love that you all have love and respect for each other even if you disagree. You should be the subject of a class for this younger generation coming up. How to have a discussion that doesn't end up with yelling, name calling, or violence. Where all can be heard and not afraid to voice their opinion.
I'm roughly half German, half native American but I'm considered "white". The German part of my family moved here in the 1920's, the fact that I would have to pay for repartitions, for something my ancestors were never apart of, is really infuriating. And native American's don't get free college, their tribes pay for that college but only if their tribes have the money for it.
I'm mexican and well over half native American. I ain't paying for shit. They consider Mexicans white only in the census but not in real life because they want to avoid paying us reparations as well. I say when Mexicans no longer make up most of the prison system in California, the hoods are no longer 50-90% Mexican in California, and we own 50% or more of the land then you can politely ask us to pay and we will politely tell you no. Force Mexicans to pay? I'd like to see them try.
I am a 60-year-old white female, I also happened to stumble upon their channel a couple of weeks ago. And I am so glad I did, they are so much fun to watch while rocking out to music videos that I grew up on. They are absolutely my new favorite go to videos. I enjoyed hearing what they think on a range of subjects and God for bid I should say they’re articulate without getting backlash. At his point I don’t think there is anything that we can say without it being turned into something it isn’t. I think they’re funny, smart, handsome, educated, open, intelligent and yes, the dreaded articulate. Having said all that I can tell you that I am equally disgusted by ignorant white young people, as I am by ignorant, black young people. I am also equally impressed by articulate young people of both or should I say all races. We have far too many young people in society today that order pure dribbles every time they open their mouth‘s. So I will not apologize for using the word articulate. I am tired of stepping on eggshells with every goddamn word that comes out of our mouths, because someone might get offended. And just to wrap this up my forefathers got here right at the turn of the last century 1900 not 1800 not 1700,1900 so we don’t owe nobody nothing. They came here poor and none of the descendants ended up rich we’re just regular folks, tired of hearing about a white privilege.
I actually do live in trailer park...it took me 45 years to finally buy a small piece of land to put my 1995 mobile home on, we are moving there this week
@@sjconerlyonthemove6290 If you want reparations you must go to the source of black slavery and get it from them. That would be the Africans in Africa, who, btw, still engage in slavery today, along with the ME. Nobody owes you when your own people sold you down the river. Can't buy what's not for sale, can you? Go to them for the money you think you're owed, you're not getting it from the rest of us. The vast majority of the country, and not just whites, are against it. The only people for it are yours, for obvious reasons. You get money that you don't deserve for something you never experienced from people that never engaged in it.
@@justsayin8700 a) The saying I quoted didn't come out yesterday...its application is much wider than the narrow POV you have from inside your rectum. b) Systemic racism is prevalent in all countries that profited from colonialism. Its part of the foundation that them countries and societies were built upon . You can pretend it aint so all you want...It's not gonna change a single thing.
i grew up oppressed in northern ireland without the right to vote etc .. this stuff is embarrassing for anyone decent to witness. disown these victimhood war-mongerers
Please educate yourself before you say something ignorant like that. Black Americans were intentionally economically disadvantaged through legislation and policies enacted by the government.
@@richardellis8076 Yes, Błack people and Native Tribes people suffered tremendously in the past. With that said, you need to learn some history before you tell others off. The Irish at one time had half of the entire population kílled off. They were also forced into índentured servïtude (sometimes for life, making them słaves). Their homes were taken, their land was taken, they were beaten and their wømen were ràped. This lasted for hundreds of years. Let’s not forget, they were also taken as słaves by vikings and Afrícan Moors. In the US they also were told they weren’t whíte before being accepted as whíte and refused work or paid less than błack people in Northern states. My point is, who was treated the worst or suffered the most, depended on where you lived and the era we are talking about.
I grew up in an upper middle class neighborhood 20 mins outside of Philly. I’d say 45% were Irish and Italian, 20% Indian and Chinese, 20% Jewish and and 15% Black. I can tell you for a fact, that none of the black families in my neighborhood would be ok with another black family moving in for free. While they had to work their asses off to get where they are today. My Father is Irish and grew up in West Philly. He would tell us stories of how they would staple card board to the bottom of their shoes when they got holes. I don’t think one person in my neighborhood grew up with money. The experience I had growing up is a testament that no matter who you are, you can achieve success if you put in the work. All the Black, Jewish, Chinese and Indian families for the most part we’re doctors and lawyers. All the Italian and Irish families were in construction. Which I find funny. I never started noticing race until I was in my Sophomore year of college at Temple University. When everyone started making a big deal about it. No one excluded anyone. We used to have massive neighbored summer parties, where every family would bring all sorts of different food. So I turn having a diverse neighborhood, I grew up eating a variety of food. Good memories.
A lot of people don’t know this but the Irish came over to America as soon as they set foot here we gave them a rifle and told them to go fight in the civil war that deserves reparations
I would love to see this case study play out, and see what happens when every single "non-black" person/family moves out of San Francisco. Then what happens???
😂 I love these conversations. Yes it will put us in the hole when we should be Riding together against who's oppressing everyone across the globe. ❤ FAF as usual guys. You're great.
So true. President Kennedy talked about the very ones you are mentioning.. a little bit after that speech he was killed. At the same time I don't think we would need reparations if structural racism was totally dismantled. Think about what all of us have to go through and then think of what African-Americans are going through. The people in this nation don't owe African-Americans anything. But this nation does. So the moment we end structural racism the moment the talk of reparations goes away
My question about reparations is "When does the government stop paying out?" What happens when the following generations comes, do they get to claim their reparation money? 100-200 years from now, do those people get to receive reparations too? If it ends up costing the government too much to keep paying out, they are just gonna increase the taxes for everybody.
Great questions! Moreover, whose comprises the Government? It's NOT the Government who pays these reparations, it's the people who are already taxed to death who will be taxed more to pay this total BS.
Heres my question: what are they being reparated for? For slavery 150+ years ago? 5 million dollars is insane its not 40 acres and a mule - they are taking 600k from every non white person in the city - im gonna kill a N*****
On the subject of reparations in the US, consider this: If anyone or any group of people want to obtain reparations, it’s easier to do under the following conditions (some of which have indeed been met but the list would be incomplete without including them): * The injustice is easily identifiable. * The victims are easily identifiable. * The perpetrators are known. * Direct victims are still alive. * The number of victims isn’t inordinately large. * The injustice took place a reasonably short time ago. * The injustice offends societal values of equality. * The amount of reparations asked for isn’t so large, that the general public will find it unrealistic. * There is a symbolic victim whom, or general agreement upon which, advocates for reparations can rally around. For the Japanese, the amount paid was relatively low, $20,000 for each of 80,000 living survivors. For Native Americans, the commission paid out about $1.3 billion, the equivalent of less than $1,000 for each Native American in the United States at the time the commission dissolved in 1978. They actually kept Native Americans from having direct control of the funds, in the belief they were not “competent to receive such large amounts of money.” This is also true with land, where control has always been kept with the US. How about Afrícan Amerícans? The US purchased land in Afríca for freed Afrícan Amerícan słaves, it’s what’s today known as Líberia. The US started sending freed slaves as early back as about 1820. This is in fact reparatíons. Do you know what the freed slaves did when they got to Afríca? They enslaved the native population that was already there. The US sends billions of dollars of aid every year to other nations, many of which are in Afríca. This is every year and not just a single payment. Let’s not forget students are granted advantages strictly based on ràce and affirmative action means this is true in the workplace as well. This is also in fact a form of reparatíons, a way of paying back for past wrongs. Both in hiring and promotions, being Błack is a huge advantage today….. But if anyone really wants reparatíons in another form again (direct cash payment), I’m open to it under one condition. Make it a pretty good amount of money and whomever takes it gives up their citizenship. Never to be able to come back to the US, even on a visa. In that case, I’m for it. Although, I believe we as a society should utilize our resources for the benefit of our entire society. I’m really speaking about how some African Americans that think people alive today that never owned slaves should pay people today that never were słaves.
The guy in the white hat spitting str8 facts - moved out of Cali with my family cuz I’m not going to pay taxes for that shyte - I’m not even from the USA nor white - doesn’t seem fair at all
I feel you, I was told my entire youth that I’m not whíte and today I’m told I am and I have to pay for “my ancestors”? Who sure as h3ll weren’t my ancestors, not that that’s a legit argument about ancestors to being with.
I love how you guys don’t get offended when you watch videos and just have fun with them! You’re channel is fun to watch. With that being said I wish the sound when you’re playing your videos was better.
Thank you guys for reacting to these videos. Love watching your videos you guys are so down-to-earth and if you're ever in my area I'd be happy to buy you a drink
Good conversation. But you guys need to relisten to these videos and realize it’s impossible to listen to people talking at the same time. Don’t interrupt each other and let people make the point they are trying to make because it’s cool to hear your guys’ opinions on the topics that you select. You could also look into ways to make the room have less of an echo. Just trying to help since you guys are getting so big. I think if you work on the value of your content you could get much larger. Before you know it you’ll have a podcast studio and talk about all sorts of topics. Keep the reactions coming
Exactly. I love these guys when they're having these conversations. But sometimes I just can't understand what they're saying because they're all talking at once.
I agree! I just started watching them and I think they have strong possibilities, but it is hard to hear all their comments, and I want to hear their comments.
I miss more than I catch because everyone talks (loudly) at once. It's like a shouting match. You've all got ideas and different opinions but we can't hear them.
I started watching you all when you started the Metallica reactions, and I can say your channel is very hilarious and educational. I'm very glad to see your opinions as you speak as equal, and I'd be happy to hang with you. Dudes keep the reactions coming
Thanks for keeping it real, it is very refreshing to hear different perspectives without getting offended. You guys can influence other people in the good path. God bless you!!
Do you know the story of Lot and his wife? The angels delivered them a message to leave the city filled with sickness and journey forth. They said, "Do not look back, continue looking forth". Lots wife chose to look back, but she did and she become a pillar of salt and died. That is a lesson, Let the past go. And look forward towards tomorrow.
I'm Irish can I get reparations from the British, for my forefathers lifetime of indentured servitude, famine and deportation to Australia for robbing a loaf of bread
And what happens after reparatíons are paid? Activísts will then say, ok we’re good now? No, of course not, they will say the exact opposite. They will say this doesn’t mean we are good and will keep on with their divisive rhetoríc.

Hey guys ... This is easily one of your better post, it was nice to get the views from people in the black community. Keep up the good work my friends 🤘
Most of the homeless in San Francisco traveled there because there are more non profits and city benefits many other places don't have. I used to volunteer at a shelter there.
Considering that the vast majority of money such that the average person is giving $600k comes from very few people. These people would take their money out of the state. The economic impact would be disastrous.
what is wrong with people in this world I get tired of this hand out I am 66 I get a big 1500 dollars month in ssa worked 40 years why not just give everybody money and everyone just sit on their ass and play on their phone and pads and do nothing
I lived in San Fran from 98-2002. It was a beautiful city. Now it's totally overrun with drug addicts. Maybe the people that run the city should worry more about getting the junkies off the street than paying reparations to people that they never harmed by them. If reparations are owed, then it would be Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia, and Florida that should consider it.
Less than 5% of white people have any connection to slavery, as a white dude I'm not paying shit to black people or any other kind of people when I didn't do shit to them...
First off San Francisco is a dump because it's run by leftist progressives. When Reagan was Governor of CA in the late '60's, even during the big hippie population in San Francisco and drug use, it still was a clean and beautiful city. Look at the major cities run by leftist progressives and you will see some of the same issues. Secondly, SF and most of the liberal cities are Sanctuary Cities that allow illegals to live on the streets, in the parks and threaten city residents. Look at LA. A few years ago, there was a young lady who was shot and murdered by an illegal in SF. He got off on a technicality. All you have to do is look at the POS Libtard Gov. of CA, Gavin Newsome, to see why CA is turning into a dump. SF was my favorite US city as a kid. Loved it, loved the food, the historical aspects and the scenery. Now you couldn't pay me to live there, period!! Regarding reparations, these people weren't enslaved nor ever denied any rights other people have. In fact, they have Affirmative Action and advantages put into the system to assist them financially, school wise, employment et al. These were the so called measures to help them attain equality. These reparations are just total BS! Our nation is broke and there is high unemployment/many businesses closing. Anyone who thinks people living in SF or any state are going to move there and subject themselves to pay these insane reparations are crazy! This is just another way to ride the racism narrative. MLK JR would be sickened by this.
I’m from Texas, and I will NOT be paying any reparations. I did not do anything to their people, I do not OWE their people anything, my family name didn’t do anything to their people. My family were sharecroppers working with slaves. They worked for them once they came over from their respective country. They literally picked crops to just live on a house. If they make this nation wide I’m moving countries. No sir, no thank you.
Enjoy the $958 a gallon gas and $400 value menus. Study Thomas Sowell he's probably the best economist that ever lived. He can explain inflation better than anyone and reparations.
It ain't stopping crime. Those who break into cars in CA, those who prey on tourists...if you pay attention, their getaway cars are expensive luxury vehicles. These guys doing these kind of crimes definitely do not need to steal.
This is just gonna cause extreme division. I see a trend of people slowly turning against the blk community and this will amplify that. How can you make taxpayers of today pay for decisions they didn't do, and give Blk people reparations for stuff they didn't experience. If you have 5 children and you give just 1 of those kids candy and toys everyday and the other kids just have to sit there and watch them enjoy it. Blk people buying ferrari's and whatever they want, whenever they want is insane. Everyone will slowly build distain towards the blk community if this happens. You go to buy a new PS5 and the last one was just bought buy a Blk person, people are not gonna assume they worked for that. They are gonna assume they used their free reperation money funded by taxpayers. Which is essentially everyone's money in a big pot (taxes). That Blk person is kinda buying that last PS5 with YOUR OWN MONEY right in front of you lol. We cannot do this. It is just wrong. Everyone should have to work for their stuff equally, under fair laws. 😢😢😢
Minus the inflation argument, let's say every black person in SF is a millionaire. What about the black people in Oakland, LA, Compton, Watts, the rest of the country. They will be arming up ready to take what they think they deserve from some new millionaires, many will have their money on their house and not in a safe place.
Native American tribes have treaties with America. One aspect of the treaties is sovereignty, which allows tribes to govern themselves, basically a nation within a nation. Some tribal governments offer their citizens a free or reduced price car tag. Our tribe uses the money to help schools within the reservation, contributes to upkeep on highways, parks, etc. We still have to pay tolls, though. This was a very interesting topic!
When everything was shut down for stupid Covid, I was so happy to go to the Indian casinos for entertainment and dining out. I knew they were sovereign and wouldn’t have to abide by the screwed up state laws!
LOL Sovereignty? We have land, but it's held in trust so it's not really ours, no title. We have resources, but good old Joe made them worthless with his green policies. Building or economic development? Because of the status of the land it is near impossible to do anything. You can't even get a right of way for electric, water, gas, or sewage lines. We don't have the same rules as the rest of America. Only the US government can change the rules. So really it's "What sovereignty? It's basically a 3rd world country within a first world country. Gee, thanks so much to the government...
No, it is a problem in WNC. Drug abuse and drug related crime sadly has wrecked havick on the reservation and the surrounding towns. It has happened in my lifetime.
Estimation: 4 out of the 5 guys in This video will pay 600.000 dollars because they didn’t qualify! I wish I was on this panel every time I watch because I would set them straight on facts EVERY VIDEO! I keep coming back because SOMETIMES they get it right and it’s so worth it to see!!
I’m black and from San Francisco, but while I had private education, etc. there is a discrepancy in equality and also after the gentrification of all the neighborhoods, blacks who have lived there for generations, can’t keep up with the 4,000 in rent.
Thanks to you for putting this out there. It's a hot button issue and we do need to take a look at it. Is any government entity setting up a team of mathematicians, historians, genealogists and experts to put this all together to really be precise with this? What is that going to look like? Like how? Since slavery was outlawed, how many black people have come into the country that never experienced slavery? A lot of people of different ethnicities live just above the poverty line and never had slaves in the history of their families.They actually think they can be fair with this? Could this be Affirmative Action 2.0? Is this another masked communistic move? What actual problem does this solve?
It is another communistic move. This won't hold up. It will go to the supreme court and be overturned and those "racist" republicans will be blamed. It's just another ploy to divide the country more.
And then deduct the cost to the families who lost a son, husband or father fighting for the Union army and multiply that by 165 years of grief , suffering and potential income and split the difference.
It’s a tax. They know most people who get that money, will put it back into the economy. Therefore, profiting the state, and harming every citizen… especially the people getting the money.

Gentleman, a healthy discussion again with your own thoughts and experiences👍 I do agree that it would be almost impossible to really sort it out. As far as a $600,000 price tag 🤷🏻♂️ I mean, I ain’t got it, never had it.
Excellent video. If people actually want legitimate reparations, don't blame an entire race, but the people who benefited. But whatever you do, don't ask Minister Farrakhan who benefited.
First off, $97,000 a year in CA, means you’re still poor 😂. Second, they stated that every “eligible” black person would receive a $5M check. Who eligible if there wasn’t slavery?
What percentage of white people even owned slaves, has anyone googled that? And should there be reparations to white families who lost family in the Civil War, fighting for the freedom? Questions to think about :)
I did the math and it was like 1%. A slave cost as much as a house. How many people could afford to have a huge amount of land and pay for special costs to farm it?
It was under 5% of people who actually owned slaves.. there were even around 3,000+ slave owners who were black themselves. So some blacks also owned slaves in the south. i do find the most interesting point brought up in the video they watched.. so the majority of whites who’s families never owned slaves have to pay? asians have to pay? hispanics have to pay? a family who only just moved here 4 years ago they have to pay? also, yes.. it was tribes in Africa capturing and selling the slaves. the whites weren’t going there capturing them up themselves. they were buying at the beaches. also, look up.. was it the Barbary Slave Trade.. in North Africa they were enslaving whites, and it lasted longer than slavery of blacks in the United States! You can go back in any point in history and every race had their time being enslaved. But it was whites who went around fighting wars to end it. The only reason this is constantly a subject brought up is because blacks enslaved in the United States is one of the more recent instances and it’s harped on constantly to keep a divide. I just wonder why we always hear people complaining about slavery in the past.. but don’t attack the source. Slavery is still happening in Africa. It’s still happening in China. Why are we protesting the past when it’s still happening in the present.
All this bill would do is force hard working people to give tons of money to get government. It is a super tax on the working class. What the gov does with the money after that is a totally different story.

The people behind BLM 100% do not believe anything their organization spouts, they rake in the money and laugh at the dumb liberals that made them rich. Smart.
My black family lives in San Francisco. They are educated, successful in every way, not just financially. They did it with grit, consistency, great choices, and most of all because of their wonderful parents that demanded excellence from their children. Handouts were not in their sights. It's stupid this gaslighting of black people.
Reparations is not a handout. It’s a debt that needs to be paid by the United States government for the enslavement of descendants of slavery in the United States. It’s lineage based not raced based. The very slaves that built the economy and wealth of this country for 300 years gave America a handout by building them a new free country for people to come too. Before Slavery there was no United States until the slaves built it.
The federal government just cut food stamps so radically that many people can barely afford to eat. There are thousands of people with full time jobs in California living in their cars because the rents are too high. Where exactly do they plan to pull this money from? There is zero logic in this situation.
They'll pull it from the non blacks and the blacks that don't qualify.
Logic is not what they are looking for.
It’s not going to happen it’s the help the democrats win.
I don't understand why they don't leave. My husband and I are from Lansing, Michigan, and had to move across the country for a better life. Why can't these people do the same? Everyone has a choice.
white people didn't own them ships - kanye knows who owned them
Holding some one accountable for something they did not do and no one in their family did, to people they never met is insanity. You cant pay for the sins of your fathers if they did not commit such sins. My fore fathers moved to this country long after slavery. Another great discussion Cartier family.
the whole idea of 'paying for the sins of your fathers' no matter what is ridiculous. imagine arguing to imprison all the children of murderers bc what their dads did.....or ordering all the relatives of every dui driver who killed someone to pay up millions of $.....now go back 4-5 generations to their great-great-great-great grandfathers and its even more ridiculous.
Well, actually, this happens in China, North Korea, and pretty sure more countries. Now it's a start of what to come or will happen. Communism tactics.

I love how you guys are expanding your intake on other topics. It's great to see critical thinking amongst your generation because there is plenty suffering from group-mob thinking. I ask the question to anyone: Are children responsible for sins of their parents? Another example of a lack of accountability displayed in our society. Keep up the reactions! Love the content.

Our rents and bridge tolls are ridiculous our purchasing tax rate is 10.75%. An income of $90,000 per year isn’t even considered middle class here. You mean to tell me they want to tax me more to pay for reparations when California didn’t have slavery, miss me with that. I’m Mexican American and in the 1930’s Americans of Mexican descent were deported to Mexico when they had no ties or family there. The Japanese were also put in internment camps in California. Are they going to give reparations to us? I don’t think so. If they start paying people who experienced racism or oppression then they have to pay everyone 🤦♀️If they make us pay wouldn’t that put us in Debt Bondage or debt slavery? Where is the fairness in that? I say everyone should be responsible for the finances in their homes.

I can tell you for a fact, that none of the black families in my neighborhood would be ok with another black family moving in for free. While they had to work their asses off to get where they are today. My Father is Irish and grew up in West Philly. He would tell us stories of how they would staple card board to the bottom of their shoes when they got holes. I don’t think one person in my neighborhood grew up with money. The experience I had growing up is a testament that no matter who you are, you can achieve success if you put in the work. All the Black, Jewish, Chinese and Indian families for the most part we’re doctors and lawyers. All the Italian and Irish families were in construction. Which I find funny. I never started noticing race until I was in my Sophomore year of college at Temple University. When everyone started making a big deal about it. No one excluded anyone.

So true. President Kennedy talked about the very ones you are mentioning.. a little bit after that speech he was killed. At the same time I don't think we would need reparations if structural racism was totally dismantled. Think about what all of us have to go through and then think of what African-Americans are going through. The people in this nation don't owe African-Americans anything. But this nation does. So the moment we end structural racism the moment the talk of reparations goes away

My question about reparations is "When does the government stop paying out?" What happens when the following generations comes, do they get to claim their reparation money? 100-200 years from now, do those people get to receive reparations too? If it ends up costing the government too much to keep paying out, they are just gonna increase the taxes for everybody.

be taxed more to pay this total BS.

For slavery 150+ years ago? 5 million dollars is insane its not 40 acres and a mule - they are taking 600k from every non white person in the city - im gonna kill a N*****
On the subject of reparations in the US, consider this:
If anyone or any group of people want to obtain reparations, it’s easier to do under the following conditions (some of which have indeed been met but the list would be incomplete without including them):
* The injustice is easily identifiable.
* The victims are easily identifiable.
* The perpetrators are known.
* Direct victims are still alive.
* The number of victims isn’t inordinately large.
* The injustice took place a reasonably short time ago.
* The injustice offends societal values of equality.
* The amount of reparations asked for isn’t so large, that the general public will find it unrealistic.
* There is a symbolic victim whom, or general agreement upon which, advocates for reparations can rally around.
For the Japanese, the amount paid was relatively low, $20,000 for each of 80,000 living survivors.
For Native Americans, the commission paid out about $1.3 billion, the equivalent of less than $1,000 for each Native American in the United States at the time the commission dissolved in 1978. They actually kept Native Americans from having direct control of the funds, in the belief they were not “competent to receive such large amounts of money.” This is also true with land, where control has always been kept with the US.
How about Afrícan Amerícans? The US purchased land in Afríca for freed Afrícan Amerícan słaves, it’s what’s today known as Líberia. The US started sending freed slaves as early back as about 1820. This is in fact reparatíons. Do you know what the freed slaves did when they got to Afríca? They enslaved the native population that was already there.
The US sends billions of dollars of aid every year to other nations, many of which are in Afríca. This is every year and not just a single payment.
Let’s not forget students are granted advantages strictly based on ràce and affirmative action means this is true in the workplace as well. This is also in fact a form of reparatíons, a way of paying back for past wrongs. Both in hiring and promotions, being Błack is a huge advantage today…..
But if anyone really wants reparatíons in another form again (direct cash payment), I’m open to it under one condition. Make it a pretty good amount of money and whomever takes it gives up their citizenship. Never to be able to come back to the US, even on a visa. In that case, I’m for it.
Although, I believe we as a society should utilize our resources for the benefit of our entire society. I’m really speaking about how some African Americans that think people alive today that never owned slaves should pay people today that never were słaves.
@@GhostSal that was extremely well said
Love watching you guys I appreciate the humor and honesty.
When ever a politician wants to give you money / wealth, you should consider what / why they are trying to control or own you for.
Thanks! Refreshing! Love y'all- keep it up!

The guy in the white hat spitting str8 facts - moved out of Cali with my family cuz I’m not going to pay taxes for that shyte - I’m not even from the USA nor white - doesn’t seem fair at all
I feel you, I was told my entire youth that I’m not whíte and today I’m told I am and I have to pay for “my ancestors”? Who sure as h3ll weren’t my ancestors, not that that’s a legit argument about ancestors to being with.
What about people's who are half black half white will they just pay themselves lmao. Idiotic as fuck
I don't think it's a good idea, nothing is free, somebody is paying for this.
Oh yeah, the taxpayer!
I'm a white lady, no body better call me Karen to my face. I'm a very cool chick but you will see another side of me periodt!
I love how you guys don’t get offended when you watch videos and just have fun with them! You’re channel is fun to watch. With that being said I wish the sound when you’re playing your videos was better.
Thank you guys for reacting to these videos. Love watching your videos you guys are so down-to-earth and if you're ever in my area I'd be happy to buy you a drink
Good conversation. But you guys need to relisten to these videos and realize it’s impossible to listen to people talking at the same time. Don’t interrupt each other and let people make the point they are trying to make because it’s cool to hear your guys’ opinions on the topics that you select. You could also look into ways to make the room have less of an echo. Just trying to help since you guys are getting so big. I think if you work on the value of your content you could get much larger. Before you know it you’ll have a podcast studio and talk about all sorts of topics. Keep the reactions coming
Facts - I would watch their podcast more than others. They have so much content in just discussing things and can be funny too.
Exactly. I love these guys when they're having these conversations. But sometimes I just can't understand what they're saying because they're all talking at once.
I agree! I just started watching them and I think they have strong possibilities, but it is hard to hear all their comments, and I want to hear their comments.
Yeah quite annoying
I miss more than I catch because everyone talks (loudly) at once. It's like a shouting match. You've all got ideas and different opinions but we can't hear them.
I started watching you all when you started the Metallica reactions, and I can say your channel is very hilarious and educational. I'm very glad to see your opinions as you speak as equal, and I'd be happy to hang with you. Dudes keep the reactions coming
Thanks for keeping it real, it is very refreshing to hear different perspectives without getting offended. You guys can influence other people in the good path. God bless you!!
Mad you’re not getting it
Do you know the story of Lot and his wife?
The angels delivered them a message to leave the city filled with sickness and journey forth.
They said, "Do not look back, continue looking forth".
Lots wife chose to look back, but she did and she become a pillar of salt and died.
That is a lesson, Let the past go. And look forward towards tomorrow.
You get 2.5. You actually get 1.9 b/c your non-black side has to pay 600k🤣🤣
LOLOL
They definitely funny as hell.
I'm white but I'm getting a DNA test gotta have some black in there somewhere!!
The one drop rule.
The cast of PBD ate speaking truth and facts. Maybe this should be tried in San Fran. as a test. I hope KCMO tries it. They won't.😮
I'm Irish can I get reparations from the British, for my forefathers lifetime of indentured servitude, famine and deportation to Australia for robbing a loaf of bread
this is that black power the asian guy was talking about.
And what happens after reparatíons are paid? Activísts will then say, ok we’re good now? No, of course not, they will say the exact opposite. They will say this doesn’t mean we are good and will keep on with their divisive rhetoríc.

I'd love to read bio's on you guys to see what you're studying, how soon you graduate, and where to send fanmail and congrat cards?!!!
Since my ancestors were enslaved by Ancient Rome I’m gonna demand Italy to give me reparations.
Hey guys ...
This is easily one of your better post, it was nice to get the views from people in the black community.
Keep up the good work my friends 🤘
I'm moving to SF and I identify as a black woman now. I want my 5 million. And my house for a dollar.... P.S. I was born a white male
Most of the homeless in San Francisco traveled there because there are more non profits and city benefits many other places don't have. I used to volunteer at a shelter there.
And don't forget the weather.
@@kevinchambers1101 San Francisco is miserably cold at night most of the year, if it the weather they would go to LA.
Considering that the vast majority of money such that the average person is giving $600k comes from very few people. These people would take their money out of the state. The economic impact would be disastrous.
Agree! If I was forced to pay that bc I am white (and had nothing to do with slavery) I would just leave the state
It would be a raise Every sort of tax California residents would pay. Everyone would pay, not the just rich.
@@proudkentuckygirll469 The majority of tax revenue comes from the top 1%. This is true across the board.
How many people even have $600k
what is wrong with people in this world I get tired of this hand out I am 66 I get a big 1500 dollars month in ssa worked 40 years why not just give everybody money and everyone just sit on their ass and play on their phone and pads and do nothing
People generally dont take care of things the same way if they didn't have to work for it.
This whole idea is stupid, but I like the fact you guys are reacting to it.
Then again, is this just red meat for stupid people?

I lived in San Fran from 98-2002. It was a beautiful city. Now it's totally overrun with drug addicts. Maybe the people that run the city should worry more about getting the junkies off the street than paying reparations to people that they never harmed by them. If reparations are owed, then it would be Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia, and Florida that should consider it.
Less than 5% of white people have any connection to slavery, as a white dude I'm not paying shit to black people or any other kind of people when I didn't do shit to them...
First off San Francisco is a dump because it's run by leftist progressives. When Reagan was Governor of CA in the late '60's, even during the big hippie population
in San Francisco and drug use, it still was a clean and beautiful city. Look at the major cities run by leftist progressives and you will see some of the same issues.
Secondly, SF and most of the liberal cities are Sanctuary Cities that allow illegals to live on the streets, in the parks and threaten city residents. Look at LA.
A few years ago, there was a young lady who was shot and murdered by an illegal in SF. He got off on a technicality.
All you have to do is look at the POS Libtard Gov. of CA, Gavin Newsome, to see why CA is turning into a dump.
SF was my favorite US city as a kid. Loved it, loved the food, the historical aspects and the scenery. Now you couldn't pay me to live there, period!!
Regarding reparations, these people weren't enslaved nor ever denied any rights other people have. In fact, they have Affirmative Action and advantages put into the system
to assist them financially, school wise, employment et al. These were the so called measures to help them attain equality. These reparations are just total BS!
Our nation is broke and there is high unemployment/many businesses closing. Anyone who thinks people living in SF or any state are going to move there and subject
themselves to pay these insane reparations are crazy! This is just another way to ride the racism narrative. MLK JR would be sickened by this.
It’s just more nonsense. Let the handouts begin.
I think the active party members whose party was responsible for slavery would be fair.
I’m from Texas, and I will NOT be paying any reparations. I did not do anything to their people, I do not OWE their people anything, my family name didn’t do anything to their people. My family were sharecroppers working with slaves. They worked for them once they came over from their respective country. They literally picked crops to just live on a house. If they make this nation wide I’m moving countries. No sir, no thank you.
Enjoy the $958 a gallon gas and $400 value menus. Study Thomas Sowell he's probably the best economist that ever lived. He can explain inflation better than anyone and reparations.
It ain't stopping crime. Those who break into cars in CA, those who prey on tourists...if you pay attention, their getaway cars are expensive luxury vehicles. These guys doing these kind of crimes definitely do not need to steal.
This is just gonna cause extreme division. I see a trend of people slowly turning against the blk community and this will amplify that.
How can you make taxpayers of today pay for decisions they didn't do, and give Blk people reparations for stuff they didn't experience.
If you have 5 children and you give just 1 of those kids candy and toys everyday and the other kids just have to sit there and watch them enjoy it. Blk people buying ferrari's and whatever they want, whenever they want is insane. Everyone will slowly build distain towards the blk community if this happens. You go to buy a new PS5 and the last one was just bought buy a Blk person, people are not gonna assume they worked for that. They are gonna assume they used their free reperation money funded by taxpayers. Which is essentially everyone's money in a big pot (taxes). That Blk person is kinda buying that last PS5 with YOUR OWN MONEY right in front of you lol.
We cannot do this. It is just wrong. Everyone should have to work for their stuff equally, under fair laws. 😢😢😢
This isn't just going to cause issues if it happens. Just the news of this is going feed people's emotions on all sides and cause division.
@@cherylhart7440 Very true. This is probably as far as it will go, and it is just enough to keep dividing us.
@@cherylhart7440 it will start all kinds of shit, you are really naive if you believe the bullshit that you're spewing.
Could you just imagine how high taxes would get and the inflation rate if you handed 5 million pet person.
Y'all so funny; your channel is my happy place after work!
If I was black I'd move to San Francisco asap!!!
Minus the inflation argument, let's say every black person in SF is a millionaire. What about the black people in Oakland, LA, Compton, Watts, the rest of the country. They will be arming up ready to take what they think they deserve from some new millionaires, many will have their money on their house and not in a safe place.
Native American tribes have treaties with America. One aspect of the treaties is sovereignty, which allows tribes to govern themselves, basically a nation within a nation. Some tribal governments offer their citizens a free or reduced price car tag. Our tribe uses the money to help schools within the reservation, contributes to upkeep on highways, parks, etc. We still have to pay tolls, though. This was a very interesting topic!
Let the South Side of Chicago govern themselves.
When everything was shut down for stupid Covid, I was so happy to go to the Indian casinos for entertainment and dining out. I knew they were sovereign and wouldn’t have to abide by the screwed up state laws!
@PremoMeztiso from what I've heard it's not that bad at all , more stable than most communities
LOL
Sovereignty?
We have land, but it's held in trust so it's not really ours, no title. We have resources, but good old Joe made them worthless with his green policies. Building or economic development? Because of the status of the land it is near impossible to do anything. You can't even get a right of way for electric, water, gas, or sewage lines. We don't have the same rules as the rest of America. Only the US government can change the rules. So really it's "What sovereignty? It's basically a 3rd world country within a first world country. Gee, thanks so much to the government...
No, it is a problem in WNC. Drug abuse and drug related crime sadly has wrecked havick on the reservation and the surrounding towns. It has happened in my lifetime.
"like something you'd see in a cartoon".....EXACTLY~~~~~
Estimation: 4 out of the 5 guys in This video will pay 600.000 dollars because they didn’t qualify! I wish I was on this panel every time I watch because I would set them straight on facts EVERY VIDEO!
I keep coming back because SOMETIMES they get it right and it’s so worth it to see!!
So they’re giving people money not to work. How does that fix anything?
I’m black and from San Francisco, but while I had private education, etc. there is a discrepancy in equality and also after the gentrification of all the neighborhoods, blacks who have lived there for generations, can’t keep up with the 4,000 in rent.
Thanks to you for putting this out there. It's a hot button issue and we do need to take a look at it. Is any government entity setting up a team of mathematicians, historians, genealogists and experts to put this all together to really be precise with this? What is that going to look like? Like how? Since slavery was outlawed, how many black people have come into the country that never experienced slavery? A lot of people of different ethnicities live just above the poverty line and never had slaves in the history of their families.They actually think they can be fair with this? Could this be Affirmative Action 2.0? Is this another masked communistic move? What actual problem does this solve?
Very Hot button.
It is another communistic move. This won't hold up. It will go to the supreme court and be overturned and those "racist" republicans will be blamed. It's just another ploy to divide the country more.
To get more votes
And then deduct the cost to the families who lost a son, husband or father fighting for the Union army and multiply that by 165 years of grief , suffering and potential income and split the difference.
It’s a tax. They know most people who get that money, will put it back into the economy. Therefore, profiting the state, and harming every citizen… especially the people getting the money.
There will be a huge devaluation of the dollar already running in a terrible budget deficits with no ceiling. Hyperinflation for goods and services.
@@Jesusisyhvh1 Fuck that how about the sheer lack of fairness this will speak to in society? fuck the economic consequences... if you give 5 million a piece to every random ass N***** people are going to PISSED
Just to point out - I think they said 38% of the homeless are black. That's not at all the same as saying 38% of black people in SF are homeless.
Gentleman, a healthy discussion again with your own thoughts and experiences👍
I do agree that it would be almost impossible to really sort it out. As far as a $600,000 price tag 🤷🏻♂️ I mean, I ain’t got it, never had it.
Y'all need to watch more Thomas Sowell right away😂
Excellent video.
If people actually want legitimate reparations, don't blame an entire race, but the people who benefited.
But whatever you do, don't ask Minister Farrakhan who benefited.
Absolutely. U know what prominent American family should pay? The Vanderbilts. Anderson coopers family. Old money families.
Rothschild, Vanderbilt, Rockefeller’s… etc.
I just wish the Jim crow spirit would disappear already.
But Jim crow spirit is alive and well in this country towards black people.
@What's The real problem it lives on in the democrat party. They view blacks as less than.
This is stupidity at its finest, but we love you guys ever reaction is a debate keep it going guys.
First off, $97,000 a year in CA, means you’re still poor 😂. Second, they stated that every “eligible” black person would receive a $5M check. Who eligible if there wasn’t slavery?
Asheville NC was the first city to make a reparations a law, to this day, zero dollars have been paid out
What percentage of white people even owned slaves, has anyone googled that? And should there be reparations to white families who lost family in the Civil War, fighting for the freedom? Questions to think about :)
I did the math and it was like 1%. A slave cost as much as a house. How many people could afford to have a huge amount of land and pay for special costs to farm it?
1.4% of all people in America owned slaves at the absolute height of slavery...
It was under 5% of people who actually owned slaves.. there were even around 3,000+ slave owners who were black themselves. So some blacks also owned slaves in the south.
i do find the most interesting point brought up in the video they watched.. so the majority of whites who’s families never owned slaves have to pay? asians have to pay? hispanics have to pay? a family who only just moved here 4 years ago they have to pay?
also, yes.. it was tribes in Africa capturing and selling the slaves. the whites weren’t going there capturing them up themselves. they were buying at the beaches. also, look up.. was it the Barbary Slave Trade.. in North Africa they were enslaving whites, and it lasted longer than slavery of blacks in the United States!
You can go back in any point in history and every race had their time being enslaved. But it was whites who went around fighting wars to end it. The only reason this is constantly a subject brought up is because blacks enslaved in the United States is one of the more recent instances and it’s harped on constantly to keep a divide.
I just wonder why we always hear people complaining about slavery in the past.. but don’t attack the source. Slavery is still happening in Africa. It’s still happening in China. Why are we protesting the past when it’s still happening in the present.
The 1800s were hard times, the overwhelming majority of people couldn’t afford a decent roof over their head let alone owning another person.
@@GhostSal Even among farming land owners it was difficult and expensive to just get a mule.
I'm sure none of us were created with 5 ears.... We can only hear one of y'all talk at a time😂😂😂
All this bill would do is force hard working people to give tons of money to get government. It is a super tax on the working class. What the gov does with the money after that is a totally different story.
