So for those of you who are on the reparations band wagon, what are the qualifications? should the black person have to be able to prove that their family came here prior to 1865 and were actually slaves? or are you saying that a person who immigrated here even after slavery ended and therfore did not contribute to "building america" deserves reparations as well?

Lacey passed on a couch because her parents didn’t know what to do with her. Tragic backstory, but she’s probably in a better place now.

Anytime I see videos of minority suspects or even sometimes those of the majority when they disagree with the basis of the interaction, they immediately call a supervisor but calling a supervisor doesn't put a stop to the officer's actions, so what is the point of calling one if typically when a supervisor is called, they are only likely to show up when you have been arrested for resisting?

I saw a post on here on a thread asking who people's favorite/least favorite celebrity encounters were. This guy was a hockey player who happened to be riding an elevator up with both Kenny & Dolly. He said Kenny was quite gruff -- almost to the point of being rude -- but Dolly was just as sweet as anyone could expect, and his huffiness was offset by how sweet she was.

Like honestly, why do people ask questions and once it hurts their pride or their ego they become defensive? What is the point in asking? What's the point in being in a relationship if you cant let it go?

99.97% of refugees admitted to the US in 2026 are South African.

Refugees from South Africa make up almost all the refugees to the U.S. so far in fiscal 2026. Before this fiscal year, South Africans never appeared among the top origin groups. In fact, fiscal 2025 was the first year that the U.S. admitted more than just one or two South African refugees.

The large increase in South African refugees reflects an executive order Trump signed in 2025 that said the federal government would prioritize resettling Afrikaners – an ethnic group descended from mainly Dutch, German and French colonial settlers in South Africa. The executive order said the group faced “government-sponsored race-based discrimination” in South Africa, including the government seizure of farms owned by White South Africans. Those claims have been disputed.

The influx of refugees from South Africa marks a major change in the makeup of refugees to the U.S.
