January 20, 2017. Reparations end.

[PoloSec]

Well okay after you figure it out and if fairness is truly the issue, you have to deduct trillions of dollars in freebees and handouts over last 60 years, yeah that would still leave them in grievous debt.

Where’s *MY* reparations for my economic slavery by the welfare state?

Does one merely have to rely upon one’s skin color? Or must they prove they resided in the States prior to the ‘Civil War’?

Do free blacks get reparations too?

What ‘bout those slaves owned by other blacks?

Does indentured servitude count as a ‘slave’?

[Suz in AZ]

I’m a descendant of white slaves in America. Do I get reparations, too?

How about those Hebrews in Egypt? Did they ever get anything?

[Tax-chick]

Nothing for descendants. My contributions are only for verifiable living former slaves.

[I Hired Craig Livingstone]

I suppose it’s time to restore the descendants of slaves to where there ancestors were financially and geographically before their enslavement. Seems only fair and proper.

[Suz in AZ]

My DIL is half black and even though slavery represents a terrible heartache, we agree that the hardship they endured gave her, her family and her children prosperity, education and opportunities they wouldn’t have had if her forefathers had been left in Africa.

I wonder if slave ancestors, if asked today, would tell their descendants today that the sacrifice was worth it.

[Hoodat]

So how much does Obama have to pay, considering that it was his muslim ancestors that sold the slaves to begin with.

[Tax-chick]

I wonder if slave ancestors, if asked today, would tell their descendants today that the sacrifice was worth it.

Good question. At least they'd have to tell their descendants that they owe the slave generations a huge debt of gratitude for the benefits they now enjoy ... or tell them to move to African en masse.

[dfwgator]

I say “Bring On Reparations”....

[BookmanTheJanitor]

just don’t make Matthews live near them (snark)

[DPMD]

I do believe in reparations if I could figure a way to avoid being forced to pay my own money for it.

Partisan Media Shills Alert!

Niger In Niger, where the practice of slavery was outlawed in 2003, a study found that almost 8% of the population are still slaves.[13] Slavery dates back for centuries in Niger and was finally criminalised in 2003, after five years of lobbying by Anti-Slavery International and Nigerian human-rights group, Timidria.[14] More than 870,000 people still live in conditions of forced labour, according to Timidria, a local human rights group.[15][16]

It's strange American blacks don't seem to give a damn about black slavery that exists today... They don't talk about it, don't rap about it, don't seem to give a damn...
