When are they going to repatriate to me for my dead ancestors that died to free their ungrateful asses?

We have already paid out trillions of dollars in reparations. It was called the war on poverty. In fact, we are still paying it.

I say YES to reparations IF it would means that blacks would restore their families, start to value education, reject the culture of drugs and violence, reject victim hood, and embrace the culture of work and individual responsibility.

Agree to that and we have a deal.

Why not throw “cure cancer, invent a free energy source” and “help us travel to the stars” in there while you’re at it?

Maybe if a number of us went to some basketball courts on our breaks close to our work places tomorrow and signed over our homes to some playuhs, they might take a break from being whining, petulant, demanding painsintheasses.

How many black youth can even pronounce “reparations”, let alone spell it?

Darren Wilson had some reparations coming for Michael Brown, for the harms done to his own self...

On my mother’s side, our family never owned slaves, and, in fact, my great-great-grandfather died in the Civil War, helping to set the slaves free. So maybe I am owed some money. On my father’s side, my grandfather didn’t even come over on the boat from Sweden until the 20th century, so we certainly don’t owe anything there.

OK, give them the reparations.

But, deduct from that the monetary equivalent of the advantages they accrue from living in the only country in the world that people from 3rd world ****holes are scrambling to get into.

Deduct from that the fact that they don’t have to live in grass huts or shantys made from scrap wood and rusty sheet metal, that they have safe water to drink, they have indoor plumbing, and a telescreen to keep them company.

And deduct that the opportunities that they have to advance in life, opportunities they would never have if they were still in Africa, opportunities they could take advantage of if only they would get off their backsides and get to work instead of blaming someone else for their own failures.

The net result? They owe the US big time, but they will never be asked to pay the difference.

And yet they still want more. Go figure.

Start setting aside money for this.

100% certain the lesser of 2 evils crowd will fight 24/7 for greater evil in 2016 and 2020.

My ancestors probably owned slaves at some point, since we got here in 1632. What does that have to do with me?

Tell you what: I’ll pitch in a few bucks on airline tickets back to Africa for any wanting to go back home, as long as you promise to stay there.

I wonder how many blacks in the US are even descended from US slaves? I bet a lot of them, if not most, had ancestors arrive here AFTER slavery ended.

Oh, I guess most of them are descended from slaves—not Barry, of course. Even so, they themselves are not slaves, and there are no slave-owners still around, last I checked.

600,000 to 700,000 white boys slaughtered each other over this issue and you call for WHAT?

Reparations have been paid in full in WHITE lives, blood, arms and legs lost,1861-1865.
