On compassion Vs. Reparations and America Vs. The Government

THE THESIS: While I fully understand why people think and feel the opposite way, reparations are not compassionate, nor are they just. 

THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES: 

As formulated, reparations are not “ding for ‘the least of these,” they are formulated as revenge.

Matthew 25:45

“He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

In America’s actual system--a Constitutional Republic--is it the right of government to punish people for doing nothing so they can pay people for something through which they did not suffer? 

Matthew 22:21

21 “Caesar’s,” they replied.

Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

THE NEWS & COMMENT:

I honestly understand why people believe reparations are just. But, it breaks down in the details of how they are formulated and how they are being sold. 

People who did nothing will pay for the crimes of people they never met. This has been sold as revenge and, if this happens, it will only fuel the desire for more revenge. People have been traumatized into believing there is no racial justice in America. Young, black people have been taught there is no way for them to succeed without a form of financial revenge.

One of the head censors at Twitter--former censors, that is--shows himself to be both traumatized and self-obsessed. His view of justice is enslaving society to parrot his feelings as fact.
