Look at it this way. American Blacks, as a group, are the most prosperous group of black people in the world. Therefore, if reparations are to be paid, Blacks should pay the U.S. because they have a higher standard of living than they would had they been born elsewhere.
Or, better yet, forget the whole thing.
Yeah. Besides, not all slaves were black and not all slave owners were white. Slavery was practiced ever since time immemorial, it wasn’t just relegated to the USA.
Silly people, logic, facts, and common have nothing to do with what seems to the rats the absolute leakproof measure to assure that blacks will forever vote Dem. Also this is a major equity issue. Equity is to finally blacks, certain hispanics and Indian equalized for systemic racism, in otherwords paid off in money and psychic satisfaction of seeing whitey harmed. The goal is make sure blacks get paid enough forever to live the upper middle class lifestyle voting Dem was supposed get them.Reparations, equirty and endless third world immigration is supposed to be the tools to crush the nonwoke whiteys and effectively ghettoize them and kill a good many off.
Not on your. Reparations and equity actions are only starting. Eventually you will pay a whitey tax at the very least,
Reparations will never work because the amount will never be enough for many of the proposed recipients.
Give them $100,000, and some will demand $200,000 and others $300,000 and still others $1,000,000 ...
Just determining the criteria of who would be a recipient is wrought with all kinds of problems.
How about we break the cycle on this and offer REPATRIATION of any African-American whose family experienced slavery to return to their ancestral homelands?
They will work just fine to give blacks some kind of perpetual melanin payoff and constantly remind them ‘they be owed’ forever so racial turmoil can be forever incited, The solution is not a solution , the desired ending is perpetual racial turmoil from which the woke-dems will perpetually profit.
Congo is calling!
That reminds me, I need to up my investments on gaudy jewelry and spinny rims
The idea of "reparations" is ridiculous. Many Americans' ancestors hadn't even immigrated here yet, why should they have to pay? Why should people who were merely descendants of slaves receive anything? By that logic, I should receive a tidy sum for being descended from the Jewish slaves in Egypt! And how would we determine the proper recipients of this "reparation" nonsense? If you were 1/16 descended from a slave? 1/8? 1/4? Have to be half or more? Have to be compared to a color chart? Just so ridiculous!
IMO we have another major event upcoming which will change
the way society operates and views human relations.
Come the next presidential election the current administration
will be re-elected. President will step down two years and one
day after his swearing in as President January 20, 2025. VP
Harris will become President and can be re-elected in the next
two elections. Thus serving as President for 10 years minus
one day. JMO
Definitely true about the American Indians owning black slaves. They even had a slave rebellion in Oklahoma back in 1842!

The US Army almost caused another Indian war when it was decided to force the Plains tribes to adhere to the 13 amendment. Most of the freed slaves were from other tribes or Hispanics.
Not long ago the Cherokees threw many blacks off the roles.

If there are to be reparations, DNC should pay it. History.
There is even a better reason: The blacks now living in the US were never slaves of whites now living in the US. My family never owned slaves, unless maybe while in a previous life in Rome.
But eventually the Cherokees took them back. Some other tribes, however, are still resisting.
Why aren’t the Irish being given reparations???
They were the first slaves and treated worse than the Africans.
Take a number, get in line.
Truth.
From potato famine to Lincoln’s front lines
Not a good look
Indians held slaves, including whites, for long after the Civil War and the 13th amendment.
We had to fight the Indians to end their practicing slavery.
Little Big Horn was fought partly by slave owners and slave traders.
