"Reparations" site invites white people to give free stuff to minorities

QuoteA new website inviting white people to provide minorities with free goods, services, and financial assistance as a means of "reparations" has been launched.
"Reparations.me" is a website that takes the principles of crowdsourcing and applies them to white liberal guilt. It invites minorities to request free stuff — ranging from favours and "emotional support" to money. It then invites white people (or "people who identify as white," to use the website's definition) to provide them.

Examples on the site include a request for free video games, for help covering tuition fees at the University of Pennsylvania, and, bizarrely, an offer to argue with white people on behalf of minorities.

The site was created by Natasha Marin, who describes herself on her personal website as a "poet and interdisciplinary artist" and claims to have received grants from the cities of Austin and Seattle for "community projects involving text-based, visual, performance, and multimedia art."

The idea for Reparations.me was born in a Facebook event created by Marin on July 15, 2016, in which she encouraged minorities to, well, ask for free things from white people.

Marin's idea has moved off Facebook onto a self-contained site that roughly follows the principles of crowdfunding. Minorities are allowed to post "requests" on the site that can subsequently be fulfilled by white people. White people, meanwhile, are allowed to post "offers" of their services.

These services don't have to be material, of course. One white poster, for example, offers what she calls "emphatic listening." The poster, Meagan, claims to be trained in "Emotional Freedom Technique and Nonviolent Communication" and offers "peer-counselling style sessions over phone or Skype."

What about the requests? Well, they can be a little more ... material.

The latest request on the site, for example, calls for help paying tuition fees for his UPenn math course. Another request asks for food and housing, while one poster just wants free video games from white people. (The poster calls it "gaming therapy.")

Multiple other requests simply ask for financial assistance. One asks for a "financial blessing," while another wants help to "get on their feet." Another requester asked for help to improve their credit score. All of the requests cite personal misfortunes in their posts, ranging from personal clinical anxiety to raising an autistic child. However, it's unclear if the site has taken any steps to verify their stories.

[OFFER] My wife to provide personal services to an oppressed minority

Okay times, to assuage my white guilt and atone for the sins of my ancestors, I posted:

[OFFER] Sexual gratification for a clean, attractive, 18-25 year old Latina

It's the least I could do to make up for my white privilege. :(

Surely this must be a prank.  :lol:

Never underestimate the willingness of kind and sensitive persons like Jacob to share with minorities. :)

Pity that wasn't around when Kanye was asking Zuckerberg for money.

Need to keep this on file for when I spend too much time playing some games. Warhammer Total War must be surely great for my spiritual healing.
