00:11:12
|
|
| Do you support reparations for black people because of slavery? | |
| Um to some extent, yes. | |
| What about you? | |
| Do you support definitely? | |
| Perfect. | |
| So we have Joel over here, Joel Patrick. | |
| He has a reparation jar. | |
| You guys have the chance to pay him for your crimes. | |
| All right, here we go. | |
| grown men are going to get out their wallets to pay for slavery. | |
| Not much. | |
| All right. | |
| Post-it. | |
| All right. | |
| You have been forgiven for the crimes against my ancestors. | |
| We're here at Youngstown State University today with Joel Patrick. | |
| and I'm here asking people if they will pay me some reparations. | |
| Do you support reparations for slavery? | |
| I, yeah, I guess. | |
| You do? | |
| Okay, perfect. | |
| So you support reparations. | |
| This is Joel who has a reparations jar. | |
| You can actually go ahead and pay reparations right now. | |
| Right now, I don't, I don't really have cash on me. | |
| What? | |
| We take Venmo? | |
| You take Venmo? | |
| How much do you think he deserves for reparations? | |
| How much do you deserve for reparations? | |
| I don't know, man. | |
| A little more than it's in that jar, I guess. | |
| All right, let's fill it. | |
| I would. | |
| I am a college student, though. | |
| You might want to ask donations. | |
| Could you ceremoniously, I don't know, like kiss my foot or something? | |
| Kiss your foot. | |
| That's a little extreme. | |
| I could give you a hug. | |
| Yeah, give me a reparation. | |
| I'll give you a hug. | |
| All right. | |
| Wow, we just ended all the years of slavery. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I don't know. | |
| Do you support reparations for black people because of slavery? | |
| To some extent, yes. | |
| What about you? | |
| Do you support? | |
| Definitely? | |
| Perfect. | |
| So we have Joel over here, Joel Patrick. | |
| He has a reparation jar. | |
| You guys have the chance to pay him for your crimes. | |
| I just gave him $10 for the crime exam. | |
| He did. | |
| $10. | |
| Alright, here we go. | |
| Grown men are going to get out their wallets to pay for slavery. | |
| Alright, post to. | |
| Alright. | |
| You have been forgiven for the crimes against my ancestors. | |
| Are you a professor here? | |
| Yeah. | |
| What do you teach? | |
| Oh, what is those for anyway? | |
| It's for YouTube. | |
| YouTube. | |
| Oh, my God. | |
| Yeah, I would love to be paying reparations. | |
| Okay, here we go. | |
| For slavery, that's all I give is a dollar? | |
| You can keep it. | |
| I want more money than that. | |
| Do you support reparations for slavery? | |
| Yes, but at the moment, I gotta go to exams. | |
| Oh, I'll walk with you. | |
| So you support reparations for slavery. | |
| We have Joel here who has a reparations jar and you can pay right now for reparations. | |
| Alright. | |
| Well, as I said, I apologize for being on the run, but there you go. | |
| You're actually paying. | |
| Yes. | |
| Did you own slaves? | |
| No, I did not, but I mean, I'm not a fan of the history behind it, so. | |
| Okay, thank you for paying for your crimes. | |
| What's your reaction that someone actually paid you? | |
| Well, I just think it shows to show how ridiculous people are in America today. | |
| I've never been a slave. | |
| He's never owned a slave. | |
| That was just the most absurd thing. | |
| He just gave me a dollar. | |
| Like, what am I homeless? | |
| So reparations, like monetary reparations, something that you give back to a group of people because they've been victimized or they've been oppressed. | |
| So for instance, the 2020 Democratic candidates want to impose reparations on white people to pay to black people because of slavery. | |
| Would you support that? | |
| Yeah, I would say with the right conditions. | |
| Yeah, I would support it. | |
| Perfect. | |
| I hope this is a good condition for you because we have Joel here and he has his reparations jar. | |
| Are you willing to give him reparation money? | |
| Why not? | |
| Okay, perfect. | |
| Okay. | |
| How much do you want her to give you? | |
| Well, what is the crimes of an entire country worth? | |
| Um, I'm not really sure. | |
| I don't have a lot of money on me, and I can't put a number. | |
| All right. | |
| You are forgiven for the crimes of your ancestors. | |
| Um, I'm gonna need you to delete the footage. | |
| Um, okay, so can I please have your contact control? | |
| Because I'm gonna send it to my lawyer. | |
| Okay, go ahead. | |
| Somebody said, can you stop filming me? | |
| You said, no, I can film whatever I want, which I agree. | |
| Woo-hoo. | |
| It's a public campus office, so I'm not gonna throw you off campus. | |
| Reparations? | |
| Reparations? | |
| Anybody got some other reparations? | |
| Reparations right here. | |
| Do you support reparations for black people? | |
| Only if there's reparations for women and Native Americans. | |
| Okay, perfect. | |
| So we have Joel over there. | |
| He actually has a reparations jar. | |
| Are you willing to give him some money because his ancestors were slaves? | |
| I don't have any money on me, but he takes Venmo. | |
| He takes Venmo and credit cards. | |
| I would have to research it a lot farther than that. | |
| Well, here he is. | |
| His ancestors were slaves, probably. | |
| I mean, your ancestors probably had slaves, so don't you think you owe him something? | |
| Well, doesn't the world owe me something? | |
| Because my female line were not allowed to vote until, what, 1920? | |
| What if I told you a lot of grown men and even professors have actually paid him money? | |
| Wait, really? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Here. | |
| In Yukstown. | |
| Yes. | |
| No way. | |
| campus Are you serious? | |
| Dead serious here. | |
| What do you think about that? | |
| That's ridiculous. | |
| Do you guys support reparations for black people and the slavery they went through? | |
| I honestly am just not smart enough to know what you're even talking about. | |
| You don't know about slavery? | |
| I mean, sure. | |
| Would you be willing to pay for slavery? | |
| If I had a penny, honestly, I'd give it to you. | |
| Only a penny? | |
| My oppression is only worth a penny to you? | |
| I don't have anything with my point. | |
| But how much would you give if you had it? | |
| I'd probably give to like the animals, small children that are hurt. | |
| But you wouldn't give to people that suffered from slavery. | |
| You didn't suffer from slavery. | |
| How's that truth feel? | |
| Oh, I feel broke. | |
| Will you please pay your reparation money? | |
| I'm broke as s too. | |
| Wait, were you ever a slave? | |
| No. | |
| Was I ever a slave? | |
| No. | |
| Did you ever own a slave? | |
| No. | |
| So if you never owned a slave, and I'm not a slave, who's owed reparations? | |
| This is like a trick question. | |
| I am very confused. | |
| I don't think does anybody need reparations? | |
| Ding, ding, ding. | |
| Got a winner. | |
| Does anybody here feel like they caused slavery? | |
| They were the cause of it. | |
| They need to pay for their crimes. | |
| They had a lot to say when we were over there, but now they don't when confronted with slavery. | |
| It's amazing how white people just don't want to own up to what they've done. | |
| Do you support reparations for black people because they went through slavery? | |
| Um, yes, I do, actually. | |
| Perfect. | |
| So we have Joel here, and you can pay your reparations right now. | |
| Okay. | |
| How much do you want? | |
| What is the suffering of my ancestors worth? | |
| Um, more than I can pay right now. | |
| So, do you want to set up like a payment plan? | |
| Um, no, but I do believe it's the responsibility of our government to take more action. | |
| Alright, pay up. | |
| Oh! | |
| Thank you for paying for the crimes of your ancestors. | |
| You have been forgiven. | |
| I don't know how you would go about doing that. | |
| Well, I have the answer. | |
| We have Joel Patrick here today, and he has his reparations jar. | |
| And you can pay for the crime. | |
| What other forms of payment do you accept? | |
| Venmo. | |
| We accept PayPal. | |
| Oh. | |
| Well, I did not have Venmo. | |
| I did not have PayPal. | |
| And I am broke. | |
| But you would pay if you could. | |
| Yeah, but I don't understand why you're collecting money for it. | |
| Because I'm a black person and my ancestors were slaves. | |
| Yeah, but... | |
| It's like... | |
| I don't... | |
| Do you own slaves? | |
| No, but I do not have a lot of people. | |
| Have I ever been a slave? | |
| No. | |
| So how much money do you owe me? | |
| Nothing. | |
| Ding ding ding. | |
| Well, Joel's here asking for reparations. | |
| Reparations for? | |
| Reparations for slavery. | |
| Okay, I do not have a wallet on me, but I put a business. | |
| Do you have Venmo? | |
| Do you have Venmo? | |
| I do. | |
| It's an actual. | |
| Venmo, that's just the money transfer app, right? | |
| Would it take long to sign up or sign up? | |
| If you don't have it already, we won't let them. | |
| So we're just collecting reparations for slavery, and you just pay me for the crimes that your ancestors committed against my ancestors. | |
| Okay. | |
| What? | |
| Say that again? | |
| You just pay me for the crimes that your ancestors committed against my ancestors. | |
| My ancestors? | |
| Okay, I'm Arab. | |
| I'm also, I'm not sure. | |
| So you definitely. | |
| So you definitely. | |
| Because Arabs put slaves on the ships and brought them. | |
| Okay. | |
| Did you know you did that? | |
| Did you know you did that? | |
| I know some history behind it. | |
| I know they were the middlemen. | |
| Damn, so. | |
| Oh, that jar is looking a little empty. | |
| I'm also from the Caribbean, so I know a lot about slavery. | |
| That jar is looking a little empty. | |
| Yeah, but, um... | |
| Uh... | |
| Are you willing to stand up and say that that's ridiculous? | |
| I don't think I'll pay for it. | |
| I don't think I'll pay for that. | |
| Good job. | |
| You don't have time to pay for your crimes against slavery and... | |
| He takes Venmo, right? | |
| Checks? | |
| You can do $5? | |
| Yeah, what's your money? | |
| Alright, so what we're witnessing is someone willing to pay money to a black person. | |
| Joel Patrick underscore 1776. | |
| Y'all heard that. | |
| Send him some reparation money. | |
| There we go. | |
| There it is. | |
| All right, I got you. | |
| Do you feel better now? | |
| Because of slavery? | |
| It doesn't really make me feel any different. | |
| Oh, maybe you need to pay some more. | |
| Just to know that I'm doing it, you know, makes him feel better. | |

Irish Involvement In Slavery
00:01:15
|
|
| What about you? | |
| What are you doing? | |
| Where's your part? | |
| I'm good. | |
| You don't want to pay reparations? | |
| No, I don't want to give any money out. | |
| No. | |
| But you still got it. | |
| So that's all that matters, Joel. | |
| Okay. | |
| Well, thank you for the reparation money. | |
| Democrats are saying that white people are responsible for slavery, the white people of today. | |
| So we need to pay money to black people, monetary reparations. | |
| Are you on board with that? | |
| No, not necessarily. | |
| Because the Irish also took part in slavery. | |
| Are you Irish? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Uh-oh. | |
| A couple of my family members might have been slaves? | |
| Taking part in it, yeah. | |
| So, I mean. | |
| Were they slaves or did they have slaves? | |
| No, they were. | |
| So people should be paying you. | |
| Joel, he needs money for reparations. | |
| He's Irish. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Okay, we're gonna give you some reparation money. | |
| Here, no, how about you just zip his book bag? | |
| Okay. | |
| Okay, reparations zip up. | |
| That's what we're doing. | |
| Get this. | |
| So all of the harm that slavery has caused over all the centuries it's existed gone right now with this zip. | |
