Should America pay for slavery?

116
In the US Congress passed hearings on the issue of payments to descendants of slaves. Should America pay for slavery?

British newspaper The Guardian опубликовала two completely opposite points of view of the answer to this question. Two black journalists set out two visions on reparations to the descendants of slaves. One offers traditional arguments, the second calls for solving the contemporary problems of the black population of the United States, rather than stirring up the dirty and bloody past, further splitting the country's population.





America must pay reparations for slavery


American writer and journalist Ta-Nehisi Coats (Ta Neayzi Kots) became famous for his work on socio-cultural and political topics mainly on African-American issues. So, in 2015, he received the US National Book Award in the Publicism category for the book Between the World and Me. In the book, Coates spoke in the style of addressing his son about the contemporary problems of the black population of America. In his opinion, violence and racism against blacks in the United States - this is commonplace.

Coates believes that the problem of racism is still one of the leading in the public life of the United States. And American society must take responsibility for all the events of the past. The question of reparations is a question of reparation and restoration of the rights of the black population. This is a question of citizenship, equality of the rights of white and black communities of America. The US should apologize for slavery. American society lives outside of personal space-time frameworks and should be responsible not only for the present, but also for the past. And today's America is built on the bones of millions of black slaves.

The author also raised the problem of numerous historical crimes against blacks: torture, violence, slave trade, including sale of children; and after the official abolition of slavery, blacks for a long time were second-class people, the ideology of the domination of the white race reigned. In particular, racial segregation in the United States (the separation of the white population of the United States from the "colored" in educational institutions, in public transport, places of residence and food, in the army, etc.), infringement of the rights of blacks, existed until 1960-1970. x years. As a result of racial inequality that continued after the abolition of slavery, the average black family is materially poorer than the average white family; blacks are less educated than whites; most of the prisoners in US prisons are blacks, etc.

Reparations will further divide America


Coleman Hughes does not deny the horrors and cruelties of slavery and racial laws. In particular, the laws of Jim Crow - unofficial racial laws restricting the rights of the "colored population" (blacks and Indians) in the southern states. Thus, racial segregation in public schools in the southern states was recognized as unconstitutional only in the 1954 year. Racism is a bloody page in the history of America. The American government was supposed to pay compensation to the slaves immediately after their release, the end of the Civil War.

However, there is a difference between recognizing the past and the present. The US House of Representatives in 2008 formally apologized for slavery and the laws of Jim Crow. In 2009, the US Senate did the same. The question is settled.

There are no more people who were slaves. You can not pay reparations to the descendants of slaves. Reparations should receive only victims. Therefore, the question of compensation is justified in relation to those black citizens who suffered from the laws of Jim Crow, who were second-class people in the United States. It is unfair that people will receive payments for slavery from the federal budget only on the basis of their origin, when other US citizens live on wages and salaries. It happens that they work in several places to feed their families. Reparations are laid only to the victims, and there are no more.

Thus, the law on reparations is a moral and political mistake. He will split the country even more, clashing black and white Americans among themselves. The current States need to focus on contemporary issues, rather than stir up the past. Thus, in the country there are hundreds of thousands of black prisoners, crime is the scourge of the modern black US community. Killing is the main cause of death for young blacks. There is a problem of quality education, affordable health care, a less severe system of criminal punishment, etc.

Capitalism and consumer society are the current faces of the global slave system


In reality, this dispute does not reflect the essence of the problem. The fact is that capitalism and a consumer society are the slave-owning system. The West, from its very beginning, is a society of slaves and slave owners. In the current, modernized variation - the society of usurers, oligarchs, social parasites and consumers, reduced to the role of "two-legged tools", cattle-cattle, who do not see beyond their instincts and needs. The West is a crowd-elite pyramid system, where there are “chosen” Lords and slaves-consumers.

This parasitic, degradation model and caused the current global crisis, the crisis of the biosphere, man and humanity. This is a society of extermination and self-destruction, a system of self-destruction. The essence of this system is well conveyed by agent Smith in the movie "The Matrix":
“... Having taken a plot, you multiply until all natural resources are exhausted. To survive, you have to grab more and more territory. There is one organism on Earth with a similar habit. Do you know which one? Virus. Humanity is a disease. Cancer of this planet. ”

Only the cancer of the planet is the slave model at the core of the western globalization project. The society of consumption and self-destruction, created in this “new” world order. Production for production, consumption for consumption. Human degradation, involution-simplification of humanity. The masters of the West see that their management mistakes have brought the planet and humanity to the brink of disaster. They see a way out of putting a “redundant”, “extra” population of the planet under the knife, cutting it 10 times and reducing the remaining people to the role of cattle in a planetary herd (hence the widespread and consistent degradation of the general education system throughout the planet, including Russia).

        That's right, Aliken! We need to raise the question wider, wider! The gangster country must answer for all its crimes before humanity. For Yugoslavia, Syria, Iraq, etc. And most importantly, because we drove the rink around our country. And since it is not without the participation of the ruling elite of the USSR, which was attached to the hood of the paver, then they also must answer. The black issue in America should be the beginning of the process.

      From practice .... and experience. Southerners are more hospitable and open. It is easy to communicate and work with them. Residents of megalopolises in the north of New York or Boston are better to bypass generally.
      The author of the article apparently never encountered the black population at all. Most of the lazy are fantastic by nature. Any little thing that he taught him to do he then passes off as his genius. Technically, they are completely without grammes ... They study the same way as they don’t like to work and don’t want to.

                  I would not say that at times. During the World Cup in Sochi, the match Spain-Portugal, learned a lot of interesting things about rotting Europe. Also at a seminar with Italians presenting their products. By the way, I do not consider rotting Europe. The political scientist Mikheev is right. 85% of the world’s population lives in full conditions, but probably no one is engaged in self-flagellation like in Russia.

                  Is minuscule 58% of budget revenues for the past year not from hydrocarbons? Is the industry (by this word you probably mean industry) weak? We do not produce ferrous, non-ferrous metals? The whole range of engineering? Chemical industry products? Last year, software worth 10 billion was sold and 5,5 to the domestic market. Weapons at 17. Something miserable I do not see. You know where the minuscule. Saudi Arabia. The GDP structure is 70% oil and gas, the budget is 90%. And in the Russian Federation 11% of GDP is mining and 42% last year of the budget, the year before 36%.

            Colleagues, just remind Sergey 1987 that 95% of our heavy industry is offshore, which is no longer in any country in the world, even in the most recent Papuan. But barcode 46 does not mean that the product is made at a Russian enterprise. Being in our territory, as evidenced by the barcode, an enterprise may be wholly owned by a foreigner who bought not only himself, but also our trademark, depriving us of the ability to produce this product ... Well, nothing, Sergey is relatively new on the VO website , over time, learns how badly we are doing with economic security. Buying allegedly Russian goods, Sergei quite possibly contributes to the flow of money into the treasury of a foreign state. By the way, in many ways the crisis is close.

        Nevertheless, what the author said about the United States applies to us no less than the United States:
        In the current, modernized variation - a society of money-lender oligarchs, social parasites and consumers, reduced to the role of "two-legged tools", cattle cattle, not seeing further their instincts and needs.
        I’ll also add: consumers who are socially passive, dependent on propaganda, and therefore believing that tomorrow they will lift the sanctions, or they will carry out some national projects, or corruption will self-annihilate, or the money will be returned from offshore companies, or the Mother of God will wake up and immediately panic . We won’t panic, until we believe that we are the very best, and our king-father (or president) is given to us by God.

        We are talking about striped in the article, not about us. If they need to, then I will give them advice. As for our citizens, now they receive money, of course, not big, but still (though nothing more than that) and they have benefits. No money, they will not cover all the pain that they had to transfer for that time. Of course, the amount that they are now paying is small, it could be increased. There are not so many such people left; funds for this could be found.

The Americans themselves gave birth to this degenerate society of brutal colored free parasites inside the country, but the most rotten as the white community, in the person of having access to control, is no better. Both those and others are ready to pour blood with the rivers and spread rot all who are not getting. So, I repeat, I see no difference.

                I disagree. There is such a thing as political transformation. In the same South Africa, with remarkable efforts, blacks in the fight for ... yes, they themselves do not know why .. they do not have enough education to clearly and coherently express, and what they say fits into "take away and divide", straight like all populist movements. So these, if I may say so, "fighters" multiplied their industry by a value close to zero. But even they switched inward, realizing that they could knock outside. Having gained power (or rather by making a mess) in the states, they switch from ostentatious external aggression to internal. Since it will really be scary outside to start a carnage, there is someone to answer. In addition, if you analyze history, all Nazi states were based on strict discipline, and not on anarchist mess. Strictly speaking, this is one of the key characteristics of such a state, but nothing close to such a discipline can appear as a result of a possible transition in the states. The mentality is not the same and there is no monolithic society, even in potential. Therefore, there will be a disintegration into states and slaughter, and not a state with "powerful industry and weapons." In general, any of these points of view certainly has a right to exist, as a variant of holivar, but mine seems more likely to me. :)

                  The Council Code of 1649 shares the landowner's responsibility for the inadvertent and willful killing of a peasant.
                  In the event of an unintentional murder (in a fight), the noble was imprisoned until a special order from the king. In the premeditated murder of the peasant, the perpetrator was executed, regardless of social origin.
                  Alexander I in 1817 pointed out the arbitrariness of the landlords to bring them to court and take the estates under the care of the treasury.

                  For 1834 - 1845 the government brought to court 2838 nobles and convicted of them 630 people. During the reign of Nicholas I, about 200 estates were taken into custody annually, taken for the mistreatment of the landlords with the peasants. The government constantly regulated the relations of landowners and peasants. In 1834 - 1845 in Russia 0,13% of peasants were convicted of disobedience to the landlords and 0,13% of landowners for excess of power over the peasants.

    All right. The humanity management system has not been developed. Once again, mankind was unable to create at least some institutions that work correctly above the level of unconditional survival. As soon as survival issues cease to dominate people, people begin to decay rapidly, spoiling and destroying themselves and the surrounding space.
    Instead of looking for a way to the future, humanity follows the path of satisfying the desires and "needs" of the most stupid and worthless people because, firstly, these desires are easier to satisfy, and secondly, such people are in the majority. What methods of management do our "masters" want to see? Their main dream is methods of direct control, that is, the transformation of an already extremely stupefied and decayed mass into a complete puppet, without any will of their own. They say that they will "save people from mistakes and crimes."
    All this convincingly proves that we can’t do it at all! People do not grow, but rot in their mass, with the active participation of the rulers of all countries and peoples who regard this situation as natural and necessary. What methods of control and management in these conditions do not apply, there will be no sense.

      The social system of all countries and peoples in the world allows the arbitrariness of the strong over the weak and now, did not notice? Regarding the rights of the fortress ...
      I'm fed up with the topic, but I’ll explain. Once again. The right of a fortress is not slavery and is not related to it. It’s just that life set a choice for people - to defend themselves against armed enemies themselves, or to take the right of a fortress, that is, to give part of the product and their rights so that others would protect them.
      Do you want freedom? So in Russia there were not the slightest problems with this. The forest was around, harnessed to the horse-drawn cart and look for fistulas ... Nobody was looking. All the same, to no avail. The fortress attracted people. Safety at hand is the boyar. Boyar fortification, where it was possible to hide, while Borin with slaves in a clean field, puts his life for those who themselves do not want to protect themselves ...
      Yes, when the boyars were replaced by nobles, and the territory grew so that the forest became like heaven, the problems and filth went on. But initially, the law of the fortress was no slavery from the word at all.

    in court, both the landowner and the serf were EQUAL, but the slave and the owner in court could not even be against each other

    They are so equal that the landowner of the peasant can be exiled, and his wife can lose his cards to a neighbor. And all according to the law. And the sentences to the landowners who killed the peasants were on the fingers of one hand. And who was sitting in the courts? Surprise: the neighbors of the landowner))

      Well, you need to start with the fact that life was regulated by the authorities (+ nobility), the court, the church and local like the community. There are different "laws" everywhere. Serfs were relatively powerless only in court, in other instances they could count on something. At least, RI did not approve of unmotivated cruelty, let alone murder for fun. They tried to live "like everyone else", "according to the laws." And the serfs were very different. There were serfs, richer than many nobles.

        what exactly is nonsense? Do you support pension reform?
        or they don’t teach Orthodoxy / Islam at school - should I emphasize the necessary?
        or do enterprises not close?
        about enterprises. take commonplace cement. Not so long ago, the USSR produced it the most in the world and was not enough.
        Before it was produced in almost every major city.
        And now does anyone produce Portland cement of sane quality?
        look at how much cement was ordered for the Rotenberg megastructures from abroad.
        But this is the most primitive - you do not need any super technologies, only scoop and process material from quarries and the demand is simply gigantic.
        But even this is no longer. And this is material that did not require anything other than maintaining the old production and was in great demand.
        What about the other industries that are not so lucky?

          The key point of "sane quality". This is the reason for the closure of 95% of all closed enterprises. The new owners, having received the plant practically for free, could not even think about the fact that production should be maintained at a modern level, modernized, and even repaired. All corny went into squeezing out the maximum profit. You can grieve as much as you like, say about the Moskvich plant, but you would prefer to drive at least a budget Volkswagen, but not a crookedly assembled Chrysler replica of the late 70s. (This is me about the last Moskvich, if anyone does not know).
          Our enterprises died on their own, no one killed them intentionally.

    Actually, you need to start with the fact that America must return the Indians to their country. And pay for the genocide of the indigenous population. Then load onto the ships and sail to ....

    the average black family is materially poorer than the ordinary white family; blacks are less educated than whites; most prisoners in US prisons are blacks, etc.

    but do not get too hung up on the topic. Yes, racism still exists in the United States, but is it directly related to wealth? See what the colored people are up to. They don't work, they don't study in the majority. And prosperity directly depends on this.

    there is a difference between cement and Portland cement - in quality.
    we began to produce much worse quality and reduced the variety of brands.

    Judging by the comments, the English did not write all this in vain, as if casually shifting the arrows to us and to Europe. And there are many hunters for reparations. However, where they sit, they will get off. We know firsthand about the consumer society. We live in it ourselves. True, it is not yet ripe, but it is being actively watered. The society is also divided. Some people still have the word "solidarity", others have a cold calculation. There is no need to attribute to our society those qualities that it has already lost. The new society has new qualities.

    The author of the article writes: "From the very beginning, the West is a society of slaves and slave owners."
    I wonder if he had ever heard of serfdom? Is that the most humane system?
    And again: "The fact is that capitalism and the consumer society are the slave-owning system."
    But in Russia now, what is not capitalism?

    Be sure to pay compensation to African Americans! Especially for such victims as murderers and drug dealers who are in prison and have not worked for beneficiaries for a day.

    Only do this with the simultaneous deprivation of citizenship and deportation to their historical homeland. And to all those who do not want to receive compensation, they propose to sign a waiver of any statements on inequality.

    On a tactful level, if the US passes this law, it will be fine.
    Their economy will weaken, interethnic contradictions will intensify. The United States will sink for tangible time.
    But this terrible gin will be released from the bottle. Pay-and-repentance advocates are a global force. And we have a lot of them too. And in Europe.
    This will get a global trend.
