Reparations

(American Race Relations):
The idea of countering the lingering effects of slavery and Jim Crow laws on black Americans (redlining, school-to-prison pipeline, housing and employment discrimination, etc.) with money, Welfare, and/or Affirmative Action.

Popularized by Ta-Nehisi Coates in โ€œWe Were Eight Years in Powerโ€ (2017)
Bernie Sanders, despite supporting democratic socialism, did not support the idea of reparations in his 2016 campaign.

Reparations

What America owes Black American families for using them to build this country as unpaid labor while being beaten, raped and killed. Similar to the reparations given to Jews and the Japanese after WWII.
Itโ€™s pretty jacked up that as soon as freed slaves worked all that land so they could grow crops, President Johnson took their reparations back.

Slavery reparations movement

A movement that seeks to pay the decendents of ameraica slaves money to help make up for the fact that there ancesters were slaves. It is thought that the us is at falt for it because it condoned it. They money wouldn't all be payed out in cash. There would be special college grants for african american students,grants for african americans who want to start businesses ect.

Reparations

Oxygen for l.e.m type people, blm'ers, as well others who have nothing better to do during their 2 day bkackout than loot and riot
If you are neither a white l.e.m nor a blm'er yet still think reparations are your thing, then be proud that even in your sober state you're worse than a drunk elephant ๐Ÿ˜. You need a shrink asap.

Repetition

Right noise.
We're gonna get real speedy
We're gonna wear black all the time
You're gonna make it on your own.
'cause we dig
'cause we dig
We dig
We dig repetition
We dig repetition
We dig repetition in the music
And we're never going to lose it.
All you daughters and sons
who are sick of fancy music
We dig repetition
Repetition in the drums
and we're never going to lose it.
This is the three Rs
The three Rs:
Repetition, Repetition, Repetition
Oh mental hospitals
Oh mental hospitals
They put electrodes in your brain
And you're never the same
You don't dig repetition
You don't love repetition
Repetition in the music and we're never going to loose it
President Carter loves repetition
Chairman Mao he dug repetition
Repetition in China
Repetition in America
Repetition in West Germany
Simultaneous suicides
We dig it, we dig it,
we dig it, we dig it
Repetition, repetition, repetition
There is no hesitation
This is your situation
Continue a blank generation
Blank generation
Same old blank generation
Grooving blank generation
Swinging blank generation
Repetition, repetition, repetition....
