Self loathing white people are every bit as insufferable as perpetually offended grievance mongering blacks that insist we owe them anything.

9/11 should have been a wake up call to US “blacks” that the muzzies are out to get them, sooner rather than later.

When an area collapses (when the “takers” outnumber the “makers”), that is absolutely how it plays out...

Whine, b*tch, moan, and beg white people for money and special considerations. Then they wonder why no one takes them seriously.

Sorry. I was posting to general comments.

But the acquisition of land by conquest has been the norm through the centuries.

If they want it back, let them take it.

They should go after their ancestors neighbors for civil reparations!
The ones who actually sold their ancestors into slavery.
I would be perfectly willing to support a mass taxpayer paid lot of tickets back to the scene of the original crimes, as long as it was one way, and completely voluntary.

I think that was offered after the USA Civil War, and there were very few takers.

Their problem is that they are taken seriously - as a physical threat (by all people, including blacks themselves). The country is working double-time to drive them to extinction with contraception and abortion, trafficking others here to replace them, and too many of them do nothing but convince those who would destroy them to move faster.

I don’t know a single person who supports abortion that doesn’t want it used primarily by (on?) blacks; this is the price of driving Judeo-Christian values from the public sphere.

My great grandfather fought with the Union Army in the Civil War and I figure that his service more than wipes out any of my reparations for slavery.

Yes, when Jews get reparations from Egypt for over 400 years of slavery.

660,000 almost all white males paid for getting rid of slavery ,. . . the total of Negroes sold by their African Negro brothers to be enslaved in the U.S. amounted to around 675,000 . . . so you can see it was almost one-for-one.

660,000 white Americans for 675,000 Negro slaves.

We don’t owe them a damn thing.

i will gladly pay every one of my former slaves whatever wages they feel they were due.

of course, just as i wouldn’t pay wages for the employees of a competing business, i won’t pay wages for the slaves of other people.

similarly, as i wouldn’t pay wages to someone not in my employ, i would never pay wages to someone that was never a slave.

“an institution that became legal in British America in the 1660s.”

Well, then, you better go talk to the queen and the British Parliament about all of these reparations!

It’s not a question of reparations. Blacks actually owe whites a debt a gratitude for freeing them. Those evil slavers were defeated.

Saying whites owe blacks now is like saying Americans owe the Jews for what the Nazis did.

No. I never owned slaves. The South was totally destroyed during the war. 750, 000 men lost their lives in the war, and possibly 100,000s of thousand of Southern civilians. There were about 3 million slaves in the South at the time.

I don’t. My ancestors were still in Germany and Ireland during the times of slavery. There was plenty of discrimination against Irish immigrants though, does that mean that anyone should pay me?

Reparations is Bulloney. Just race baiters trying to keep themselves relevant. If they really want to go back in history, maybe they could include the Slave Traders and the Africans who captured other tribes and sold them to the Slave traders.
