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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
and so are the taxpayers
To Hello with the tyrannical redistributionists
Please do not attempt to discuss this like you were having a discussion with persons open to persuasion.
It’s not.
Aside from Wakanda…
Bkmk
Cauliphonya’s dumbass plan to give each person with black epidermis $5 million dollars is about as retarded as it gets. Pure genocide. Those idiots will murder each other to get their basketball shoes. What the hell do you think is going to happen when each one of those idiots has $5 million bucks? Gruesome Newsome is a new Snowflake age Hitler. His Cauliphonya his going to become the murder capitol of the world.
This harms the narrative!
The federal government was not a major force in the lives of ordinary people until the Civil War, then again in WWI and most especially with Prohibition interfering with immigrants making homemade beverages.
There was also that awful income tax that came into effect permanently in 1913., levied only on high income folks. There was Herbert Hoover in the 1920’s telling manufacturers about product sizes and regulating broadcasting, including of religious programs. In 1933, FDR made the federal government into something that impacted ordinary people.
When the first slave was imported, eyebrows might have been raised, but there was no law forbidding importation of slaves.
Some of the slaves may have been servants indentured in Africa and defrauded into slavery, but that was a private matter between the ship captain importer and the slave.
If a slave escaped, rewards were offered in private newspapers. The rewards were privately paid and the escaped chattel brought back by private bounty hunters.
The Fugitive Slave Act allowed for government intervention, but like a dropped dollar bill the escaped slave was snatched up and hauled back to the plantation, privately.
Mexico ended slavery before Great Britain.
Every Race, Creed and Color in this world going back thousands of years had slaves, it is not and never has been a Black only issue. Blacks were enslaving Black in Africa long before the white man ever got there and there was a huge slave trade in East Africa, still going on today, where many slaves ended up all over Asia and Med. No one wants to study any history anymore.
Auto insurance wasn’t required until the late 1920’s.
Prescriptions for most drugs weren’t federally required until 1948, and only because Hubert Humphrey was a pharmacist before becoming a senator.
