Nobody owes such reparations. Never even play the game.
They can do that after they pay the Irish and Scots.
The Romans owe the Irish a bunch of reparations too.
Anglos deserve blame for about 3% of the demand side of African slaves. Africans deserve blame for literally 99% of the supply side of African slaves.
And who is this clay useful idiot and why should anyone listen to him?
The Left also likes to while about the Atlantic Slave Trade. We got out of that business in 1805. So that was a grand total of 22 years for us. And even then, the Atlantic Slave Trade was almost entirely focused on funneling slaves to the Caribbean and South America. The United States of America was barely involved.
Africa enslaved people and sold them, so go hit them up...
I thought the point of the 1619 Project was the U.S. was only responsible for slavery and evil, even though it didn’t exist.
I think the African tribes who sold their fellow tribesman should pay.
England already paid reparations. Did that and then in 1840ish started stamping it out across the world.
The US had to do things a bit different because of its constitution. Other countries (like all of SAmerica) avoided the issue for as long as they could.
The British solution was to “buy back” the slaves from their masters and “set them free”. They paid no reparations. They paid off the masters. Perhaps we should follow their example and pay reparations to white people?
Just a thought and other viewpoint. Nobody yells at the British for THEIR years of slavery.
Everyone forgets how the idea of reparations started.
It started with Japanese Americans sent to internment during WWII.
In the early 1990’s, they received reparation payments.
German Americans and Italian Americans were forced into internment, too. They were not given reparations.
Black Americans were not given reparations for slavery.
Yet, no one complains about Japanese Americans receiving reparations for WWII internment.
Then the Democrat Party can pay the balance.
I don’t think that Southern slave-holders should be let off the hook. IMO, any person who owned slaves in the American South should have to pay reparations to any person who was held as a slave in the American South. No one else, including the descendants of the persons mentioned.
Clay Travis is a bloviating, low IQ knucklehead. I feel sorry for his broadcast partner.
He should be using the dates 1776 and 1865, but it’s pointless—the British are never going to pay reparations. Whether the US does depends on how thoroughly the Democrats gain control after 2024 (if they win that election). A better case could be made for Britain paying reparations to the Irish for more than 700 years of occupation and oppression (including exporting foodstuffs from Ireland while 1,000,000 Irish were dying of starvation during the potato famine). And the Turks should pay reparations to the nations whose ancestors they enslaved.
Reparations are ongoing. Mostly in this form.
What happens to the losing team’s Super Bowl ‘champion’ merchandise?

Sometime around 10 p.m. Eastern on Sunday evening, sporting goods stores in the greater Kansas City area began preparing for an onslaught of fans seeking Super Bowl championship merchandise. Fans lined up outside the doors as workers cracked open boxes of T-shirts, hats, sweatshirts and other goods, each bearing the Chiefs logo and SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS.
Eighteen hundred miles west, the boxes in the Bay Area remained sealed shut. The SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS merchandise won’t ever reach the streets … not in America, at least, thanks to an ongoing NFL charity initiative.
The NFL pre-prints championship merchandise with both teams for obvious reasons: fan demand is at its highest while the confetti is still falling. That approach leaves the league with half its inventory rendered instantly unsellable.
Prior to 1997, the NFL simply destroyed the “losing” merchandise. Since then, it has enlisted the services of two charities to send it around the globe to people in need.
“There is a worldwide poverty crisis, millions of people who don’t have T-shirts and sweatshirts that we take for granted,” says Anna Isaacson, the NFL’s senior vice president of social responsibility. “So it’s an easy win for us to make sure this product gets into their hands.”
I just don’t like him
Sports fans
I’ll take buck over him
I quit listening to them
Travis is woefully poorly prepared on facts
Sexton a bit better
Most of the slaves were captured and sold into slavery by other Africans...
Yes the Europeans created the market to sell them, but europeans were not running around Africa capturing Africans to put into slavery... other African’s captured them and sold them to the slave traders.
Of course truthful facts are not politically correct, but are true.
