If White People are the problem in America. maybe they all should go back to Europe or wherever. After all, the vast majority of their ancestors were not brought over in chains of slavery.

you struck me in the white guilt solar plexus again! Ouch! So I went to a bot to see if I can use paypal to contribute to that San Fran. reparations fund that you no doubt are applying for [IIRC you told us about your dark skin* which should be enough, I imagine, claims to the contrary notwithstanding]

But alas the bot says "You cannot currently contribute directly to the San Francisco municipal reparations fund using PayPal. San Francisco established a legal Reparations Fund to hold private contributions, but the city does not have an official PayPal or digital payment portal set up to accept direct public donations at this time"

* apologies if I got that wrong

If by dark skin you mean my olive Mediterranean complexion and dark curly hair from my Italian-Sicilian immigrant ancestors, you would be correct. But since that isn't dark skin, you are in actuality incorrect.

But then again, we also have the Sicilian scene from True Romance to contend with.

Apology not accepted, and you can fuck off.

“Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) call for Republicans to act on Social Security reform if they keep control of Congress in 2027 is getting pushback from Senate Republicans who warn it’s a bad political message heading into November.

Yet, a trustees’ report that the popular retirement program will become insolvent sooner than expected has lit a fire under lawmakers in both parties to call for reforms such as raising the cap on payroll taxes, “means testing” beneficiaries, raising the retirement age, and creating personal accounts to invest in the stock markets.

The Social Security trustees’ report warned that beneficiaries would see their monthly checks cut by 22 percent in 2032.”
