Serious Question on Reparations based on Obama's Quote about who is responsible for wealth in America
I am crushed like we all are by the constant division being shoved down our throats daily and constantly about things that happened years ago before we were ever born and when the world was different in ways we could never realize. I am constantly thinking of ways to combat this "Free hand out" millennials are demanding whether it be reparations or canceling student loans and free healthcare. What has happened to the concept of work ethic.?
I also question Obama's quote below about who is owed what from what happened 400 years ago. Didn't the North, mid-west and West and southwest prosper without cotton? So who's back built that part of the country?
Obama, the country’s 44th and first Black president, said on Bruce Springsteen’s “Renegades: Born in the USA” podcast released Monday that he thinks reparations are “justified” — but believed them to be “unattainable” when he was president.

“So if you ask me theoretically: ‘Are reparations justified?’ The answer is yes,” he said. “There’s not much question that the wealth of this country, the power of this country was built in significant part — not exclusively, maybe not even the majority of it — but a large portion of it was built on the backs of slaves.”

Weren't there Polish slaves, Irish slaves, English prisoners slaves; Didn't many people work just to work and earn some money?

Is it really a good idea to just hand people money?

There will be no reparations. Every person on this planet deserves them if that’s the case, because we’ve all been held back by an evil cabal in one way or another. 🤦🏻‍♀️
