Even the Africans don’t want black Americans. They despise them.
You’re right RummyChick.......I’m Irish.....where’s MY reparations?????........;)
Paging Al Gore.
Check’s in the mail.
The African blacks sure must have despised them centuries ago when they sold their fellow blacks to the Arabs
Pay them all to go back. The break even payment would be staggering.
What about taxes not paid?
There were actually more white slaves than black. The white slaves were treated far worse than the blacks because the plantation owners didn’t pay for the whites. They viewed the white slaves as disposable.
Over 90% would be destitute in 5 years and they would be whining for more.
Mine too IronJack!........;)
This really is not very hard. All living people who were slaves are owed compensation by those who held them in captivity.
Anyone who was not a slave, receives nothing. Anyone who did not own a slave owes nothing. That is common law.
a 150 year old debt that was never presented to an estate, is null and void.
Thanks for playing!
I don’t think that the UK has that much in their budget what with they started it and all.
Can we first deduct the cost of Johnson’s Great Society?
Me Too!

I want $100,000,000. for the family I lost fighting for the north to free the slaves.
I’m guessing that’s the Moors contribution to you’re European heritage. Nice try.
I’ve tried that argument before.
It’s a non-starter.
The typical response is twofold: (1) You’re living on stolen and occupied land, and (2) Any piece of infrastructure that was built by slaves, and which you use, be it a building or a road, etc, you are benefitting from, therefore you DO owe reparations.
blah blah blah
They already got 40 acres and a mule after war was over.. I can’t help it if carpet Baggers came down and swindled it from them..
Or Jews, Berbers or ???
What if my ancestors were poor and illiterate - and not only did not own slaves, but fought with the North to free them?
And what about mixed race blacks, who are, like Obama, half white, and half black - they only get $3/4 million, right? What if they are 75% white? They only get $375k, right?
What if I have worked among blacks for years to help them get ahead, and have helped their children be educated?
And what about blacks and their descendents who came here after slavery?
Lastly, how can you punish someone for a crime they never committed and that one of their ancestors did?
This man claims to be intelligent, but he is an idiot.
