But it was the oil-rich Allah-worshipping folks who bought and sold the black citizens of Africa. Why is nobody asking the Arabs for reparations?
“Consider, that if captured enemies could NOT be sold into slavery, that there would be no incentive to take prisoners.”
Unless they planned on cooking the captives for supper once they got back to the mud huts. The ones sent off on slave ships by the neighboring tribes would at least avoid being the main entree on the nightly menu.
The following case, though relating to savages, is well worth giving from its curiosity. Mr. Winwood Reade informs me that the Jollofs, a tribe of negroes on the west coast of Africa, "are remarkable for their uniformly fine appearance." A friend of his asked one of these men, "How is it that every one whom I meet is so fine-looking, not only your men, but your women?" The Jollof answered, "It is very easily explained: it has always been our custom to pick out our worse-looking slaves and to sell them." It need hardly be added that with all savages, female slaves serve as concubines. That this negro should have attributed, whether rightly or wrongly, the fine appearance of his tribe to the long-continued elimination of the ugly women is not so surprising as it may at first appear; for I have elsewhere shewn[4] that negroes fully appreciate the importance of selection in the breeding of their domestic animals, and I could give from Mr. Reade additional evidence on this head.
This site says $20 trillion for LBJ's Great Society alone.
Statistics say 22% of blacks are poor and make up about 22% of all poor.
But blacks receive nearly 40% of welfare payments.
What do you think, would that amount to "black privilege" or even reparations?
Indeed
I tried to get food stamps after Katrina, something that was automatic for the New Orleans refugees. I was laughed out of the building.
Only one point is needed;
You got money. We want it.
So South American governments get a free pass?
Needs to be said often, just remember that speaking the truth is not very popular these days.
Great summation.
Excellent questions that have probably not been thought of by those making this proposal.
Well...those are certainly inconvenient numbers for those making this proposal. Of course it will not stop them from making the proposal, it just means more work will have to be done to cover this up.
Yes, very good summation.
Is that Captain Obvious on his button?
Why don’t the rest of us get reparations from African Americans for the lethal wave of violent crime our citizens are often subject to?
I cannot argue with men dressed so magnificently. Give me my checkbook.
See, white privilege!
You should be ashamed of yourself.

My one word reply.
No.
Take it to the Islamic countries, Spain, Dutch and Brits
