Wow.

That site was a painful reminder of how deep-seated the pyschosis of Black Victimhood is.

Get a proper job freaks!

Lets see Welfare, food stamps. Rioting and looting. The murder and rapes of countless white people. Free schools and free health care. Then there is affirmative action and hate crimes legislation effectively giving blacks more rights than whites. I suppose I could go on but it’s just time to say You have been receiving and still are receiving reparations.

No go find something else to amuse yourselves with other than your hatred of your neighbors!

Fifty years of affirmative action...Section 8...food stamps...medicaid...free college tuition...free cell phones...etc,etc,etc doesn't seem to be enough I guess.Perhaps I can do my part by just handing over my house and car to a "person of color" despite the fact that neither I nor a single one of my ancestors ever owned a slave.

I would gladly pay reparations to any of the slaves I owned.

Anyone else trying to grift me will be shot.

SCOTUS just made reparations turnkey as an upcoming “penalty” tax.

Are we giving reparations for welfarism, because it seems that has done more damage than slavery. Blacks will never overcome the legacy of welfarism.

I think it’s only fair to point out that “African-Americans” should be thinking real hard about paying restitution to the families of union soldiers lost in the civil war.

Let’s see, how about a $50,000 wrongful death settlement per union soldier in 1865 dollars, times how many union soldiers? Adjusted for inflation, with interest...

Anyone quick with figures here?

It’s dis-empowering to be the ‘victim.’ People want to be in the role of ‘victor.’

Exactly. So why do so many in the black community continue to wallow in victimhood over something that no one alive today had anything to do with?

Speaking as a black man (alas, NOT African-American) I truly wish I could see a way out of this conundrum without bloodshed.

How about this: Anyone who accepts a reparation check must also accept a one-way ticket to their favorite country or territory; those who don't must agree, in perpetuity, to shut the &%(* up.

Come to think of it, wasn't that how Liberia was created? (In my Emily Latella voice) Never mind

Unlike Obama, I have slave ancestors...

So they were white ???

They were slaves...

What are ya...racist ???

Anyhoo...

My ancestors in MASS the land of Kennedy were sold into slavery...

Wheres my reparations ???

Plus reparations for the descendants of Loyalists would be nice...

During “the troubles” 50-100 thousand Loyalists were forced from their homes and had to flee into Canada...

Many of them had land that they had worked on for years stolen from them..

When they were able to return they found that the US government had sold they land and belongings to strangers..

When do I get my reparations for the houses and trading post burnt and the lands in Mehoopany, Wyoming County, PA and Herkimer County, NY that were confiscated by the US government ???

Eh ???

We are trillions in debt. I think everyone has gotten enough reparations. It’s not my fault if it was squandered.

Blacks have had $4 trillion spent on them so far, yet, they still drop out of school and sit on their lazy asses waiting for the next handout.

If anyone actually cared for blacks they would cut off welfare and make them get off their butts and earn a living.

Undoubtedly, the huge wealth gap between Black and White people in the United States is due to the country’s history of legal and institutionalized discriminatory practices.

To what does he attribute the huge wealth gap between White people in the United States and Black people in Africa?

Does Africa also have a history of legal and institutionalized discriminatory practices?

My family never owned slaves. I had two great-great-great uncles that fought for the Union in the Civil War (father's side). My grandfather and grandmother (mother's side) immigrated from Sweden in the first decade of the 20th century. Swedes never owned slaves.

The people who were slaves have been dead for over 100 years; ditto for the people who owned slaves. Exactly why should people who never felt the bite of slavery or owned slaves have to pay anything to people alive today?

What I see is a lot of people wrapping themselves in “victimhood” and trying to extort money from people with no connection to this ancient practice. Go pound sand.

My great-great-great grandfather suffered and died from effects of going to war to subjugate the South, thus making it possible for the abolishment of slavery. Because of this, his family lost their sole provider, and was poor and then had to work harder to eke out a living. All that hard work put a toll on their lives as well. My family and I am now suffering from the generational effects of his early, yet preventable demise.

Two can play at this game.

The Black culture can end this nonsense in two generations. Stop teaching your children that the white world owes them a living because 152 years ago Black people were slaves. Educate them to the fact that the “Reverends” are race-baiting poverty pimps who would be out of a job and broke in the streets if the racial problems that they promote were ever to be solved.

Remind them that 500,000 people died in the Civil war, most of them white, to FREE the slaves.

Spread the word that it was the Republicans who freed the slaves, and it was the Republicans who were against the KKK, Jim Crow laws, racial segregation, poll taxes, and so on.

It was democrats who used fire hoses on Blacks who wanted integration in schools and the workplace.

Remind them that if they self-segregate and “hate whitey” it is their fault if they’re segregated. No one who extends the hand of friendship should have it bitten off.
