No money should be given to anyone for “slave reparations”...

No whites, blacks, yellows, reds, or browns...PERIOD....

You want money??? Get a job...

Money will be printed and sent to non-white people.
Everyone will pay with higher inflation.

There is no justice in this world.

Snowflakes and crybabies probably have more to answer for injustice they’ve done than the perceived ‘injustice’ they feel they’ve received.

Actually, since I grew up lefthanded and always had to play “right field closed” unless there were enough kids to field entire teams, I demand reparations from all right-handed people.

I’m not sure that (known, living) victims of communism in USSR/Eastern Europe have actually received any reparations.

I think the author makes some excellent points, and brings much moral clarity to this.

I will say now, that you’re rubber and I’m glue. What you say bounces off me and sticks to you.

Hmmmm... interesting how that is worded. I think you have it backwards.

Blacks in Africa forced my people out of the continent a million years ago, and we had to journey across Asia and over the Bering Sea and down the coast of North America until they had to settle in what is today’s central coast of California.

There they had to eat acorns for f’in breakfast, lunch and dinner. Do you know what it is like to eat acorns for every meal?

Blacks owe me bigtime for these injustices and I figured out on my excel spreadsheet that they owe me, adjusted for inflation, approximately $1.2 billion dollars. As a courtesy I’ll round it down to an even billion.

I want it with a cashiers check or in Bitcoin.....

bitches

Actually in some cases they have. I have in CA. It started my passbook savings account in Sunnyvale, CA at the Wells Fargo branch.

Reparations to decedents of white Union soldiers who died to free them.

There was no slave trade without African cooperation as Europeans,in those times, succumbed to tropical diseases rather quickly once they ventured more than a day’s journey from the coast. Tribal warfare and raids of the strong upon the weak brought prisoners to coastal locations where payment was made. People deliberately forget that the triangle trade paid off Africans.

There are no arguments. Black people alive in America today are not slaves. Were not slaves. Are not children of slaves. Are not even grandchildren of slaves. A very few may be great grandchildren of slaves. But by that token, they may very well be great grand children of slave owners as well.

No white people owned slaves. Their parents did not own slaves. Their grand parents did not own slaves. A very small number of white people had a great grand parent who may have owned slaves.

But going back further, there is no evidence that white people are more likely to have ancestors who owned slaves than black people. We know that every civilization traces back to slave ownership. So everyone is very likely to trace to an ancestor who was a slave. And most people can trace back to a slave owner.

Does America, as a country, a system, a culture owe African Americans anything. No. African Americans have benefited greatly from being American. Look at their quality of life, life expectancy, and wealth compared to Africans. They are huge winners. They owe their lives and livelihoods to the American system.

We have a few communists who would love to tear down America. With the help of colleges and the media, they are doing a good job of it. But most people would love to live here rather than anywhere else.
