Thank you. Is that on a country by country basis or what?
It’s all nonsense.
[[“It is, alone, not enough,” she said, according to the Chicago Tribune. “We all know that the road to repair and justice in the Black community is going to be a generation of work. It’s going to be many programs and initiatives and more funding.”]]
It will never ever be enough. There is far too much power in calling whitey “white supremacists” “white privilege” “racists” for the left to ever come to a point where they say “OK, debt paid in full, let’s move on now”
White folks paid already in the form of 600,000 or so folks going to war to end slavery, through taxpayers paying for welfare, through taxpayers PA g ing for a huge amount of social programs.
Was any of that enough? Nope! It should have been. But as you can see from the mind set of the left in the quote above, it will never ever be enough.
most, if not all, African slaves who were brought here were purchased from Arab slave traders, white people didn’t go into the jungle to catch slaves, Arabs and other Africans were the slave catchers. So if blacks want reparations, they should try to get them from the Arab world. The same goes for whites who were captured by North African pirates who were Arab or Berber Muslims.
If they do pay out reparations it will never end , every newborn will expect their share
You’ll know how much of a slave you are in about two weeks. April 15th is just a friendly reminder of who your masters are.
Transportation costs, up keep for food and shelter. Rescued from folks who would have eventually killed them.

Looks like the VP may need to pony up more than actual US folks. Especially since we know her family was in the slave trade business. Estimates are that only 5% of today’s population can be tied to the slaves brought here. Anyone? Bueller?

Another issue is the white Africans that migrated to the United States. Are they owed money too?
NO ONE is responsible for the actions of other people. Guilt is not passed through the genes. And guilt does not jump off one White onto another just because of the similar skin shade.
This proposal is made to look small and insignificant, but will soon expand to people who were never slaves, and it will become permanent. Oh, you thought reparations was going to be a ONE TIME thing! Oh, you would be wrong. It will be embedded into the law and will be implemented every year. If they can figure out a way to make ONLY Whiteys pay, they will.
That’s OK, we’ll just take it from the blacks. Easy money.
I’ve posted the numbers here before, but basically, the legal system looks at reparations as an opportunity cost calculation. That is, what’s the value in the next-best alternative. Since most slaves came from Ghana, to calculate the reparation amount you have to compare what blacks in the US today would earn in Ghana today since we assume they would remain in their birth country.
Clearly, black have not thought this through as it turns out blacks need to pay non-blacks about $600b/yr for the past 154 years. When blacks have assembled the required amount, I’ll furnish an account where they can send my money.
I want reparations for the riots.
My white relatives helped to free slaves and fought in the Civil War.
They were affected negatively as a result.
I demand reparations to make up for this injustice .
Yes what I just wrote is foolish, true but foolish .
No more foolish than the reparations logic.
How can anyone know for sure who were slaves and who arrived here as free men and women?
Also was every white person slave owners?
What about blacks that owned slaves?
Also Native Americans?
To be perfectly honest,
There isn’t a group of people that haven’t been slaves at some point in history.
We need to stop blaming someone else for the situation we are in.
Until evil is destroyed there will always be hate in this world.....
How about the Civil War deaths. How about the black slave owners of blacks?
This whole thing is terrible.
Reparations....... payment to those who did not suffer, for sins others did not commit.
Would reparations really shut BLM up? Or make any difference in the Democrat/media caused racial schism in America?
Whites Were Slaves in North Africa Before Blacks Were Slaves in America.
Looks like the blacks want reparations they better check the own blood line of people who SOLD them first.
Game called due a tie.
