Just had a interesting discussion with a friend of mine who is Mostly Native about why African Diaspora Descent do not get the financial Reparations in a traditional sense like the Tribes do. Quite Simply because we are going to inherit the nation. White People will become the minority again in fewer years then most care to realize(granted the effeminzation/sterilization plans fail to impact population growth any more then ? did) and Blacks along with Hispanics will be vying for the largest dominate population here. Whole conversation was interesting but what is the Social Lounge's Take on this thought process???

    How are blacks going to be vying for the largest dominant population in the US? Whites still outnumber us by a large margin,

    Not now in the future. Whites around the world are not breeding enough and a lot of them are becoming infertile and having difficulties with child birth. That's what he means, so if there are more dying than they can replace sooner or later there will be a much smaller population. Give it like four generations. So say like one out of 5 whites in the next generation that decreases so much and the trend keeps following. Their won't be any chance. That's why blacks need to heavily get their kids in STEM and business programs and political power.

    I'm not sure if Blacks are ever gonna inherit the things we built in this country. Whites and their numbers are going down in the USA but not by a whole lot, remember most Hispanics in America consider themselves WHITE. Especially Puerto Ricans and Mexicans, so things won't really change as much as we may think they will. Whites still make up about 65% of the country, not much diff then the 80s when like 70% of USA was White. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, for example, are Hispanic but White as hell. So nah I don't see us inheriting ? , unless we pass things down ourselves that we were able to keep (our own property, money, and businesses)

    well, most of them are...

    where it's really going to hit is the European countries that are anti-immigrant and with more impressively stagnant birth rates than the US. the US just has some stupid racial ? to get past

    Mexicans don't like our blacks assess so we will still be at the bottom even if the white population drops in size. Also just being smaller in populations does not mean whites will lose their grip on power.

    That ? ain't going to happen. Most projections show that the average American will be some type of racial mix in the future. White males already date outside of their race at a pretty high rate. So they won't disappear and be replaced with some existing minority group. At worst they'll just be folded into some mixed group. The funny thing is that's exactly what the KKK and groups like them have been railing against for years, so they may be racist ? but they aren't exactly wrong when it comes to their predictions for their race.

    Brazil is a perfect example of this. The money Whites made off of slavery, stealing land and resources all over the world is incredible. No amount of social justice will correct or change that. This is hundreds of years worth of money we're talking about, all passed down generation to generation. The money never really left their hands....

    Yeah, you're right. The whole system needs to be taken down. The only way for African descent or possibility in the future the darker side of the paper brown bag will need to take root in strong education and business skills. I really don't have other idea on how the American ? will rise out of desolation besides banding together.

    I tend to take a different view of things. You want the uplifting of the Black race, then you should do like others have suggested and support Africa. That's where the Black race is the purest and they are the originators of Black culture.

    While black unity is important in America. I don't think the black community will ever become some kind of isolated force in America. America is supposed to be a melting ? , and as time moves the culture moves closer to that. Sooner or later the American culture will override all of the constituent cultures, and there really isn't anything wrong with that. It might actually be what's best for the U.S.

    I guess the consensus is Blacks won't inherit ? ....at this point we can only take or create, with few exceptions. Gentrification is a perfect example of this, the competition is too strong. There's no inheriting that's gonna happen, unless it's already in Black hands....

    taking "reparations" would only indicate that we are contempt with the position they have placed us in... Its like the house ? taking the whip... He think he gained some power, but really he has become further enslaved and loyal to his master

    Population control by the Numbers and Brainwashing...
    The Racial Statistics of Abortion Cannot Be Ignored
    A mother walks with her children to the MacArthur Park Primary Center School in Los Angeles Thursday, Jan. 31, 2013 (AP Photo)
    I wonder if anyone is at all surprised that the charnel house of Kermit Gosnell’s abortion clinic in Philadelphia turns out to be just one of many across the country? Lila Rose, president of Live Action, is releasing several undercover videos that prove the fact. Located in the Bronx and Washington, D.C., these abortion centers share a matter-of-fact, if sickening, attitude toward babies that survive a late term abortion. They will be placed in a jar until they stop breathing, says a helpful worker at the Bronx clinic. They also share another troubling characteristic: they serve a mainly minority population.

    Why is this troubling? As a Hispanic woman, I find the racial statistics of abortion deeply unsettling. Among white women, there were 138 abortions for every 1,000 births. Among black women, the number rises to a dizzying 501 abortions. Hispanic women account for 25% of all US abortions, though Hispanics make up just 16% of the population. While we hear a lot of agonizing over the high murder rate of minorities, we don’t hear much about the thinning of the minorities by abortion. Truly the most dangerous place for a black baby is in his mother’s ? , and a Hispanic baby is not far behind.

    President Obama very recently lauded Planned Parenthood as an organization devoted to the welfare of women, presumably including minority women. Is he aware that the founder, Margaret ? , wrote in a 1939 letter: “We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the ? population?” And I wonder if he knows that the majority of Planned Parenthood’s clinics are located in communities with minority populations that exceed the city or state averages. Margaret ? ’s vision of social purification was rooted in sterilization and birth control. Today’s Planned Parenthood is much more violent. It is now mainly devoted to pregnancy elimination, not prevention.

    As Hispanics, we come to the United States looking for, and mainly finding, racial justice. But the slaughter of abortion has an ethnic component. The babies are mostly dark, and the abortionists are mostly white. That the mothers and sometimes fathers, grandmothers, and aunts of the children are complicit doesn’t really change the disturbing fact. I don’t at all believe that most abortion supporters are racists. I’m sure most of them feel that abortion is a great gift to the mother who finds herself in a tough situation. But these statistics should not be ignored by lovers of racial equality.

    Not only does abortion thin the ranks of minorities by eliminating them before birth, but abortion attacks the moral fabric of an entire people. Jesse Jackson eloquently wrote, in 1977: “There are those who argue that the right to privacy is of higher order than the right to life. I do not share that view. I believe that life is not private, but rather public and universal. If one accepts the position that life is private, and therefore you have the right to do with it as you please, one must also accept the conclusion of that logic. That was the premise of slavery.”

    He has since famously changed his mind. But I agree with his former, wiser, self. If our belief in the rightness of our attitude, our mindset and our value system does not quake at the racist face of abortion, than the Civil Rights Movement was a struggle fought in vain: Abortion is NOT an equal opportunity killer.

    PUBLIC OPINION ABOUT ABORTION
    Since the election of President Barack Obama, Americans have experienced a shift in how they view abortion. In the spring of 2009, several polls showed that for the first time, the majority of Americans identify themselves as “pro-life.”
    Not only that, those who identify themselves as “pro-choice” fell dramatically in the same time period that pro-life sentiment rose.
