I want restitution for the Eqyptians enslaving my ancestors.

Also, I understand the English and several others want restitution for the Roman occupation.

That said, I make restitution every April 15.

And blacks sold other blacks to the slavers. So what?

I wasn’t even 8 years old then. I do not support the institutions of slavery, segregation, and racism. They are contrary to the principles of this nation.

But as I say, I wasn’t even 8 years old then, and if that is good enough to explain away any of Bill Ayers’ actions and Barack Obama’s association with this man, then it should be good enough to exempt me from any financial obligation.

You know something... neither I, nor my father, nor his father, nor even HIS father EVER owned a slave. So, I would like to say that any Black American thinking I owe them because of the slavery issue is nothing more than a fool.

If we “repair” people who were personally never wronged, then let’s factor in the trillions spent on “poverty” until now, and also “spread the wealth” from Oprah, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Bill Cosby, ...

Yes, white America was guilty of enslaving blacks and redistributing wealth will certainly right a wrong. ......

Not all whites owned slaves some whites were slaves. My ancestors to be exact were Scottish slaves here in the states. So if you want reparations simply sue the families of the ones who owned slaves. But first prove you are descendants of slaves then prove the individual family owned your ancestors. Then let's talk. Other wise go to work!

My people were oppressed by the Romans. We were tossed to the lions because of our religious beliefs. This oppression came from those with a link to the ethnic Latin power structure of the day.

So by the new rules of loose historical association, I believe I am owed restitution from all peoples who currently speak a Romance language: Italy, Spain, France, Latin America, etc.

I hope my cause gets brought up by Obama at the UN.

Obama’s family used to own slaves.

But Obama will get a cut of the money.

Any questions?

OKay! Every (white) American who has ever owned a Black American should have to pay up!

Listen to the money pouring in:

crickets...

Why is that?

Because slavery has been over for 150 years, that's why!

Time to move on, ya think?

The ten million acres stolen from my wife's people happened after that and no one is bellowing for "redistribution" for that.

Get over it!

redistributing wealth

Been there, done that --- welfare state, progressive/oppressive taxation, affirmative action, etc. Freebies just keep 'em on a plantation of a different kind, while (temporarily) easing the guilt of perpetually guilt-ridden white liberals.

Being half white, half black, I suggest Barry steal money from his white side and give it to his black side.

I will willingly pay reparations to anyone I have ever owned as a slave.

Anyone else trying to take my money away to give to someone who says they were a slave are lying and will be treated like any other thief.

I want retribution because people used to say about my great grandparents, “They’re Swedish but they’re nice.”
