Blah blah blah... 40 acres and a mule, blah blah blah...
Blacks should pay white tax payers back for all the freebies they have gotten over the years.
I say, if they want reparations, fine.
White folks will get all the money back in no time.
Nobody.

Mexico should pay. To several states for caring for their poor, housing and feeding their criminals, educating their citizens, health care for same.
When? Same time someone reimburses for travel food and lodging.
Pass it at your peril...
People sometimes bring up the payments made to Japanese Americans held in the internment camps in World War II.
But a key difference between potential slave reparations a d the Japanese Americans payments, is that payments went to the people who were actually in those camps. Whereas nobody alive today was ever a slave.
We have paid out large amounts to Japanese families for ww2 interment, and American Indian tribes for repeatedly hosing them.
Blacks though are in a different category. For one, 600,000 white men died to free them. Two, we don’t have the money. Three, as a culture they lack the virtue to do anything good with money.
Do descendants of the Mayflower and other colonial descendants get to slam the Queen of England for sending people here as ‘bonded servants’.
Many colonials DID arrive here as bond servants and the servitude was real.
I guess someone here will beat that information into my brain for me
I’ll go for one way tickets to the African nation of their choice.
The assumptive close?
There will be no further reparations.
If reparations are to be paid, they should be paid by the Democrat Party.
The Democrat Party fought the Civil War in order to keep slavery, when that failed, they created the KKK, poll taxes, grandfather laws, sundown laws, Jim Crow laws, etc.
RICO them, dissolve all assets and use the proceeds for reparations to citizens who can prove descent from Democrat slaves.
No one should pay reparations to anyone, period, unless it is linked to leaving the country, surrendering citizenship, and never returning.
Dismiss ANY talk of reparations.
European and African nations brought slavery here.
We, AMERICANS, ended slavery here, gave them rights and every opportunity that every OTHER American has.
Okay, just to see this go away, let’s give each black person whatever a six pack of Colt45 Malt Liquor costs or just a coupon for said six pack.
But... if we are going to go there; 300,000 white people were slaves too. They were called indentured servants at the time and they were usually worked into an early grave so every white person should also get that coupon for whatever. Let’s just give everyone $10 and never hear about this issue again.
Show me one slave I’ve owned and I’ll pay. Otherwise leave me the heck alone about it.
