I guess the 11 trillion dollars we spent just since 1965 means nothing.

[hecht]

yes the african nations that sold their own people should compensate them.

Would “Full Reparations” include relocation to one’s continent of ancestral origin?

I’m in favor, as long as the money for this process be raised by introducing a tax on all cable outlets: How about $1/subscriber/month?

Or a movie tax: $2/ticket.

[A CA Guy]

There is more slavery today I believe going on that at the height of the Civil War but overseas. So what is this person doing about it? Cashing in somewhere else.

[Nervous Tick]

>> He says he believes there is a “tremendous gulf between White America and Black America” that has not been addressed.

Totally true. A gulf created by blacks themselves.

And as soon as BLACKS address their many and serious shortcomings — by learning, exercising, and teaching respect for EDUCATION, FAMILY, and WORK ETHIC — they’ll be on the way to bridging that gulf.

Oh yeah, and quit your endless bellyaching, pull your damn pants up, learn to speak proper English, and stop naming yourselves stupid bush names like “Ta-Nahisi”.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

“The first thing is to get people to admit that there is in fact a chasm there and that it is the result of actual policies and decisions that were made, that there is an actual debt."

OK. The chasm exists. Its a result of Welfare policies and other liberal policies that destroyed the black family. The one national institution that benefited the most from slavery, Jim Crow and other policies that hurt blacks is the Democratic Party. It probably deserves the equivalent of an institutional death sentence so it should be banned and its assets seized.

[Zathras]

Here it comes.
I’ve been saying this for a year. $1T as reparations through executive order

[marron]

Money won’t do it. Only Christ can fix whats broken.

[Boogieman]

I’m in favor of reparations, but only in the form of a non-refundable, one-way ticket to Africa for anyone who wants it.

[Dead Corpse]

For White slaves of Black slave Masters? Or just reparations for Black slaves of White slave holders?

[donaldo]

This is nothing new but bears repeating. Reparations are extortion paid to people who were never slaves by people who were never slave owners.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Give them reparations with the understanding that they will leave the US and NEVER return.

[gusty]

I think that anyone who was held in slavery should collect reparations. Just go to the local IRS office with proof of enslavement and then collect the big check. Person must be alive however, no payouts to dusty skeletal remains. Ancestors of slave traders should be forced to pay into reparations fund. So if someone’s ancestors belonged to any East African Muslim slave trading marauding tribe well they should be forced to pay big time.

[BitWielder1]

Who is still alive to be punished or rewarded for slavery 150 years ago?

Imagine for a moment that reincarnation is real and I, a white person, am the reincarnation of a long dead black slave.
Now I'm forced to pay reparations to my black neighbor, who could be the reincarnation of my former abusive owner (but neither of us know this).
Where's the justice in that?

They want to punish my skin color but they punish me and reward him for his current skin color.

[EEGator]

I’ll settle for numerous ships heading East.

[P3_Acoustic]

Practically no one is aware there were white slaves here before there were african slaves. No mention of the 100,000’s of Irish slaves dragged to the New World in the “coffin ships”. It is thought there were even some on the Mayflower. Do a search on Amazon or B&N for “White or Irish Slavery. You’ll be surprised at the numbers of available books.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Reparations were paid in full when 700,000 white boys slaughtered each other over whether blacks would be free or not. Tens of thousands more gave lost arms, legs, eyes in that conflict between 1861 and 1865.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The only type of "reparations" that would actually change anything is to give each black (more than 50% negroid genes) person a white (less than 50% negroid genes) indentured slave to go out and get a job and turn over their paychecks to them each week.

Just giving them money or property won't work because they will just piss it away and we will be right back where we started from in five years.

[kearnyirish2]

These absurd requests will only stop when whites start demanding slavery be reinstated to get some form of payment for all of the food, clothing, and shelter doled out since then. The fact that “reparations” is even discussed openly with a straight face should terrify taxpayers.

I want some return on the funds taken from my paycheck and transferred to unproductive, shiftless parasites.

[WayneS]

I am in favor of paying reparations to any living person who was held in slavery within the United States while slavery was the law of the land in the United States.
