Why don’t these people just cut the nonsense? This isn’t going to give people the hope and opportunities To combat systematic oppression. Jobs, access to continuing education, removal of barriers to home ownership and so on would go a long ways.

What barriers to jobs, education and home ownership exist right now?

I really couldn't make myself read that entire article, but what kind of reparations are we talking? Can I claim them from my kids? Maybe even my husband for knocking me up? Between pregnancy, infants, Saturday morning sports events, teen years, even the college years, I have lost a whole lot of effing sleep. How big of a payday should I be expecting?

Here is one example, Blacks are profiled at a much higher rate than other ethnicities, especially for low level marijuana offenses. They are 4x as likely to be arrested for marijuana possession as whites, yet both races consume marijuana at the same rate. A marijuana offense precludes someone from being eligible for federal financial aid. No federal aid usually means no college—education barrier.

But this thread is about sleep reparations.


And, regardless of race, doesn’t the sticky icky usually make people sleepy?

Who’s more likely to sell it? Really don’t know, just asking a question.
