Kind of a funny idea -- to put a price tag to end all racial grievances.

I fully support reparations for any person now living who has been held as a slave against their will. Reparations to be paided by the person who actually owned the slave. If the former slave owner has died, then the money is to be taken from their estate.

Where does it end?
As long as the money flows, never!

I have just decided that I am trans-racial, and even though my skin lacks the melanin content of say Barry Soetoro — but maybe surpasses Michael Jackson in his later years — I identify as black rather than white. I am ready to submit my application for reparations and for preferred status in government subsidies.

Pharaoh enslaved my ancestors way back. Can I get reparations from everyone of African descent, no matter how far flung they are through space and time?
To: Rufus2007
My only idea of reparations would be a one way ticket back to Africa.

I think they know it will never happen. They just want a rhetorical club to shake, a guilt trip to send folks on.

There were blacks in the south who owned slaves.

Shouldn’t Arabs and African blacks be paying the reparations? They’re the ones who sold African blacks into slavery...still doing it today. Get the reparation money from the Arabs and black Africans!

Pre-condition for reparations— first prove your background, that is what country your were shipped from, or your ancestors. Then, next requirement for any payment of “reparations”..... re-patriation to that country.
Very simple.... no reparations without re-patriation. That will shut them up. That, and the fact that west african nations don’t want liberals in their country with their homo love and non religious beliefs. Nuff said.

My people, on both sides have already paid... with their lives during the period of 1861-1865 and the 12 years of radical Reconstruction of the South (theft of private property, lands, businesses and commodities under the Union guns of an occupation that was never in Lincoln’s plans).
Lends one to think— qui bono? with Lincoln’s death. The profiteers, carpetbaggers and much else in human misery who had no regard for any human life, white or black— this was the result.
Some day someone should go to Boston and demand reparations for the Opium clipper ship trade and the death and misery that brought on the US. Those great underwriters of the liberal facade of today.

if such plan would take effect, it would once and for all end any claims on racial grievances by African-Americans for slavery and the other post-slavery laws that infringed on the rights of African-Americans.

Dig up those old slave owners and shake them ‘til some money comes out. Me and my ancestors never owned any slaves.

If they want reparations so badly perhaps they should petition the African nations that enslaved and sold their ancestors. They were the first to profit from slavery.
And probably profited the most.

the word
reparation is derived from a Latin word meaning to restore or repair. So if you want to get literal and borderline Aspergery about it, real reparations would consist of returning African Americans to roughly the state theyd be in if theyd never been plucked from their ancestral homelands. If ex-Africans have truly been damaged by being transported to America and increasing their numbers a hundredfold in the process, it would stand to reason that theyd currently be doing better in Africa.
A Reparations Plan That Makes Sense

Of course, if their ancestors had never been brought here, they would not be the wealthy and celebrated people they are today.
