=== Will You Pay Reparations? (11:12) ===

[00:00:00]  Do you support reparations for black people because of slavery?
[00:00:04]  Um to some extent, yes.
[00:00:07]  What about you?
[00:00:08]  Do you support definitely?
[00:00:09]  Perfect.
[00:00:10]  So we have Joel over here, Joel Patrick.
[00:00:12]  He has a reparation jar.
[00:00:14]  You guys have the chance to pay him for your crimes.
[00:00:16]  All right, here we go.
[00:00:17]  grown men are going to get out their wallets to pay for slavery.
[00:00:19]  Not much.
[00:00:20]  All right.
[00:00:23]  Post-it.
[00:00:25]  All right.
[00:00:27]  You have been forgiven for the crimes against my ancestors.
[00:00:34]  We're here at Youngstown State University today with Joel Patrick.
[00:00:38]  and I'm here asking people if they will pay me some reparations.
[00:00:51]  Do you support reparations for slavery?
[00:00:55]  I, yeah, I guess.
[00:00:56]  You do?
[00:00:57]  Okay, perfect.
[00:00:58]  So you support reparations.
[00:00:59]  This is Joel who has a reparations jar.
[00:01:02]  You can actually go ahead and pay reparations right now.
[00:01:04]  Right now, I don't, I don't really have cash on me.
[00:01:08]  What?
[00:01:09]  We take Venmo?
[00:01:10]  You take Venmo?
[00:01:13]  How much do you think he deserves for reparations?
[00:01:16]  How much do you deserve for reparations?
[00:01:20]  I don't know, man.
[00:01:21]  A little more than it's in that jar, I guess.
[00:01:23]  All right, let's fill it.
[00:01:26]  I would.
[00:01:27]  I am a college student, though.
[00:01:28]  You might want to ask donations.
[00:01:30]  Could you ceremoniously, I don't know, like kiss my foot or something?
[00:01:33]  Kiss your foot.
[00:01:34]  That's a little extreme.
[00:01:36]  I could give you a hug.
[00:01:37]  Yeah, give me a reparation.
[00:01:38]  I'll give you a hug.
[00:01:42]  All right.
[00:01:42]  Wow, we just ended all the years of slavery.
[00:01:47]  I don't know.
[00:01:47]  I don't know.
[00:01:48]  Do you support reparations for black people because of slavery?
[00:01:54]  To some extent, yes.
[00:01:56]  What about you?
[00:01:57]  Do you support?
[00:01:58]  Definitely?
[00:01:58]  Perfect.
[00:01:59]  So we have Joel over here, Joel Patrick.
[00:02:01]  He has a reparation jar.
[00:02:03]  You guys have the chance to pay him for your crimes.
[00:02:05]  I just gave him $10 for the crime exam.
[00:02:08]  He did.
[00:02:08]  $10.
[00:02:10]  Alright, here we go.
[00:02:10]  Grown men are going to get out their wallets to pay for slavery.
[00:02:16]  Alright, post to.
[00:02:19]  Alright.
[00:02:20]  You have been forgiven for the crimes against my ancestors.
[00:02:23]  Are you a professor here?
[00:02:25]  Yeah.
[00:02:25]  What do you teach?
[00:02:26]  Oh, what is those for anyway?
[00:02:28]  It's for YouTube.
[00:02:29]  YouTube.
[00:02:29]  Oh, my God.
[00:02:30]  Yeah, I would love to be paying reparations.
[00:02:32]  Okay, here we go.
[00:02:34]  For slavery, that's all I give is a dollar?
[00:02:36]  You can keep it.
[00:02:37]  I want more money than that.
[00:02:39]  Do you support reparations for slavery?
[00:02:42]  Yes, but at the moment, I gotta go to exams.
[00:02:44]  Oh, I'll walk with you.
[00:02:45]  So you support reparations for slavery.
[00:02:48]  We have Joel here who has a reparations jar and you can pay right now for reparations.
[00:02:54]  Alright.
[00:02:55]  Well, as I said, I apologize for being on the run, but there you go.
[00:03:01]  You're actually paying.
[00:03:02]  Yes.
[00:03:02]  Did you own slaves?
[00:03:03]  No, I did not, but I mean, I'm not a fan of the history behind it, so.
[00:03:09]  Okay, thank you for paying for your crimes.
[00:03:11]  What's your reaction that someone actually paid you?
[00:03:16]  Well, I just think it shows to show how ridiculous people are in America today.
[00:03:20]  I've never been a slave.
[00:03:21]  He's never owned a slave.
[00:03:23]  That was just the most absurd thing.
[00:03:25]  He just gave me a dollar.
[00:03:26]  Like, what am I homeless?
[00:03:28]  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.
[00:03:36]  So for instance, the 2020 Democratic candidates want to impose reparations on white people to pay to black people because of slavery.
[00:03:44]  Would you support that?
[00:03:46]  Yeah, I would say with the right conditions.
[00:03:49]  Yeah, I would support it.
[00:03:50]  Perfect.
[00:03:50]  I hope this is a good condition for you because we have Joel here and he has his reparations jar.
[00:03:55]  Are you willing to give him reparation money?
[00:03:58]  Why not?
[00:04:00]  Okay, perfect.
[00:04:01]  Okay.
[00:04:02]  How much do you want her to give you?
[00:04:04]  Well, what is the crimes of an entire country worth?
[00:04:10]  Um, I'm not really sure.
[00:04:12]  I don't have a lot of money on me, and I can't put a number.
[00:04:16]  All right.
[00:04:20]  You are forgiven for the crimes of your ancestors.
[00:04:23]  Um, I'm gonna need you to delete the footage.
[00:04:26]  Um, okay, so can I please have your contact control?
[00:04:29]  Because I'm gonna send it to my lawyer.
[00:04:32]  Okay, go ahead.
[00:04:33]  Somebody said, can you stop filming me?
[00:04:35]  You said, no, I can film whatever I want, which I agree.
[00:04:37]  Woo-hoo.
[00:04:37]  It's a public campus office, so I'm not gonna throw you off campus.
[00:04:40]  Reparations?
[00:04:41]  Reparations?
[00:04:42]  Anybody got some other reparations?
[00:04:44]  Reparations right here.
[00:04:46]  Do you support reparations for black people?
[00:04:50]  Only if there's reparations for women and Native Americans.
[00:04:55]  Okay, perfect.
[00:04:55]  So we have Joel over there.
[00:04:57]  He actually has a reparations jar.
[00:04:59]  Are you willing to give him some money because his ancestors were slaves?
[00:05:03]  I don't have any money on me, but he takes Venmo.
[00:05:06]  He takes Venmo and credit cards.
[00:05:09]  I would have to research it a lot farther than that.
[00:05:11]  Well, here he is.
[00:05:12]  His ancestors were slaves, probably.
[00:05:14]  I mean, your ancestors probably had slaves, so don't you think you owe him something?
[00:05:19]  Well, doesn't the world owe me something?
[00:05:22]  Because my female line were not allowed to vote until, what, 1920?
[00:05:28]  What if I told you a lot of grown men and even professors have actually paid him money?
[00:05:34]  Wait, really?
[00:05:34]  Yeah.
[00:05:35]  Here.
[00:05:36]  In Yukstown.
[00:05:37]  Yes.
[00:05:37]  No way.
[00:05:38]  campus Are you serious?
[00:05:46]  Dead serious here.
[00:05:47]  What do you think about that?
[00:05:48]  That's ridiculous.
[00:05:49]  Do you guys support reparations for black people and the slavery they went through?
[00:05:54]  I honestly am just not smart enough to know what you're even talking about.
[00:05:57]  You don't know about slavery?
[00:05:58]  I mean, sure.
[00:06:00]  Would you be willing to pay for slavery?
[00:06:02]  If I had a penny, honestly, I'd give it to you.
[00:06:05]  Only a penny?
[00:06:05]  My oppression is only worth a penny to you?
[00:06:07]  I don't have anything with my point.
[00:06:08]  But how much would you give if you had it?
[00:06:12]  I'd probably give to like the animals, small children that are hurt.
[00:06:16]  But you wouldn't give to people that suffered from slavery.
[00:06:18]  You didn't suffer from slavery.
[00:06:21]  How's that truth feel?
[00:06:22]  Oh, I feel broke.
[00:06:25]  Will you please pay your reparation money?
[00:06:30]  I'm broke as s too.
[00:06:32]  Wait, were you ever a slave?
[00:06:35]  No.
[00:06:36]  Was I ever a slave?
[00:06:38]  No.
[00:06:39]  Did you ever own a slave?
[00:06:41]  No.
[00:06:42]  So if you never owned a slave, and I'm not a slave, who's owed reparations?
[00:06:50]  This is like a trick question.
[00:06:51]  I am very confused.
[00:06:53]  I don't think does anybody need reparations?
[00:06:57]  Ding, ding, ding.
[00:06:59]  Got a winner.
[00:07:00]  Does anybody here feel like they caused slavery?
[00:07:03]  They were the cause of it.
[00:07:05]  They need to pay for their crimes.
[00:07:09]  They had a lot to say when we were over there, but now they don't when confronted with slavery.
[00:07:14]  It's amazing how white people just don't want to own up to what they've done.
[00:07:18]  Do you support reparations for black people because they went through slavery?
[00:07:22]  Um, yes, I do, actually.
[00:07:23]  Perfect.
[00:07:24]  So we have Joel here, and you can pay your reparations right now.
[00:07:28]  Okay.
[00:07:29]  How much do you want?
[00:07:31]  What is the suffering of my ancestors worth?
[00:07:35]  Um, more than I can pay right now.
[00:07:38]  So, do you want to set up like a payment plan?
[00:07:43]  Um, no, but I do believe it's the responsibility of our government to take more action.
[00:07:48]  Alright, pay up.
[00:07:55]  Oh!
[00:07:56]  Thank you for paying for the crimes of your ancestors.
[00:07:58]  You have been forgiven.
[00:08:00]  I don't know how you would go about doing that.
[00:08:01]  Well, I have the answer.
[00:08:03]  We have Joel Patrick here today, and he has his reparations jar.
[00:08:06]  And you can pay for the crime.
[00:08:08]  What other forms of payment do you accept?
[00:08:10]  Venmo.
[00:08:12]  We accept PayPal.
[00:08:14]  Oh.
[00:08:15]  Well, I did not have Venmo.
[00:08:17]  I did not have PayPal.
[00:08:18]  And I am broke.
[00:08:21]  But you would pay if you could.
[00:08:23]  Yeah, but I don't understand why you're collecting money for it.
[00:08:27]  Because I'm a black person and my ancestors were slaves.
[00:08:30]  Yeah, but...
[00:08:33]  It's like...
[00:08:33]  I don't...
[00:08:38]  Do you own slaves?
[00:08:39]  No, but I do not have a lot of people.
[00:08:40]  Have I ever been a slave?
[00:08:42]  No.
[00:08:42]  So how much money do you owe me?
[00:08:45]  Nothing.
[00:08:46]  Ding ding ding.
[00:08:48]  Well, Joel's here asking for reparations.
[00:08:50]  Reparations for?
[00:08:51]  Reparations for slavery.
[00:08:53]  Okay, I do not have a wallet on me, but I put a business.
[00:08:56]  Do you have Venmo?
[00:08:57]  Do you have Venmo?
[00:08:58]  I do.
[00:08:59]  It's an actual.
[00:09:00]  Venmo, that's just the money transfer app, right?
[00:09:03]  Would it take long to sign up or sign up?
[00:09:07]  If you don't have it already, we won't let them.
[00:09:08]  So we're just collecting reparations for slavery, and you just pay me for the crimes that your ancestors committed against my ancestors.
[00:09:17]  Okay.
[00:09:19]  What?
[00:09:20]  Say that again?
[00:09:21]  You just pay me for the crimes that your ancestors committed against my ancestors.
[00:09:25]  My ancestors?
[00:09:27]  Okay, I'm Arab.
[00:09:29]  I'm also, I'm not sure.
[00:09:30]  So you definitely.
[00:09:31]  So you definitely.
[00:09:32]  Because Arabs put slaves on the ships and brought them.
[00:09:35]  Okay.
[00:09:36]  Did you know you did that?
[00:09:37]  Did you know you did that?
[00:09:38]  I know some history behind it.
[00:09:39]  I know they were the middlemen.
[00:09:41]  Damn, so.
[00:09:42]  Oh, that jar is looking a little empty.
[00:09:44]  I'm also from the Caribbean, so I know a lot about slavery.
[00:09:47]  That jar is looking a little empty.
[00:09:48]  Yeah, but, um...
[00:09:51]  Uh...
[00:10:00]  Are you willing to stand up and say that that's ridiculous?
[00:10:04]  I don't think I'll pay for it.
[00:10:05]  I don't think I'll pay for that.
[00:10:07]  Good job.
[00:10:07]  You don't have time to pay for your crimes against slavery and...
[00:10:12]  He takes Venmo, right?
[00:10:14]  Checks?
[00:10:16]  You can do $5?
[00:10:17]  Yeah, what's your money?
[00:10:21]  Alright, so what we're witnessing is someone willing to pay money to a black person.
[00:10:30]  Joel Patrick underscore 1776.
[00:10:41]  Y'all heard that.
[00:10:42]  Send him some reparation money.
[00:10:45]  There we go.
[00:10:46]  There it is.
[00:10:48]  All right, I got you.
[00:10:49]  Do you feel better now?
[00:10:50]  Because of slavery?
[00:10:52]  It doesn't really make me feel any different.
[00:10:55]  Oh, maybe you need to pay some more.
[00:10:57]  Just to know that I'm doing it, you know, makes him feel better.

=== Irish Involvement In Slavery (01:15) ===

[00:11:00]  What about you?
[00:11:00]  What are you doing?
[00:11:01]  Where's your part?
[00:11:02]  I'm good.
[00:11:03]  You don't want to pay reparations?
[00:11:05]  No, I don't want to give any money out.
[00:11:09]  No.
[00:11:10]  But you still got it.
[00:11:11]  So that's all that matters, Joel.
[00:11:12]  Okay.
[00:11:13]  Well, thank you for the reparation money.
[00:11:15]  Democrats are saying that white people are responsible for slavery, the white people of today.
[00:11:20]  So we need to pay money to black people, monetary reparations.
[00:11:24]  Are you on board with that?
[00:11:25]  No, not necessarily.
[00:11:27]  Because the Irish also took part in slavery.
[00:11:30]  Are you Irish?
[00:11:31]  Yeah.
[00:11:32]  Uh-oh.
[00:11:33]  A couple of my family members might have been slaves?
[00:11:37]  Taking part in it, yeah.
[00:11:38]  So, I mean.
[00:11:40]  Were they slaves or did they have slaves?
[00:11:42]  No, they were.
[00:11:43]  So people should be paying you.
[00:11:45]  Joel, he needs money for reparations.
[00:11:48]  He's Irish.
[00:11:50]  Yeah.
[00:11:51]  Yeah.
[00:11:53]  Okay, we're gonna give you some reparation money.
[00:11:56]  Here, no, how about you just zip his book bag?
[00:11:59]  Okay.
[00:12:00]  Okay, reparations zip up.
[00:12:01]  That's what we're doing.
[00:12:03]  Get this.
[00:12:04]  So all of the harm that slavery has caused over all the centuries it's existed gone right now with this zip.
