Hundreds of thousands more of those...
Have we paid enough yet?
There is no money. We are already in debt so far the only way out is total economic collapse.
Rather than take the time to make a logical and consistent argument against reparations (which won’t be listened to by those arguing for them anyway), I simply say, “NO”.
They can all kiss my lilly white ass, Im not paying them a cent. They should be forced to pay me for putting up with their stupid shit. Reparations...yeah you bet.
““Even immigrants and people whose ancestral line contains no slaveholders should pay reparations, since every American benefits from slavery.”
So blacks benefit from slavery?
”Slavery victimizes free blacks to this day.”
Rice, Powell, Thomas???
Pure BS - simply an attempt to steal money.
If the Government forces us to pay reparations, then I predict there will be a violent backlash from White America. It will be time to overthrow the Government. Before long, you will see things like are happening in Zimbabwe right now: squatters claiming property that is supposedly theirs due to the sins of the ancestors of the current owners.
Reparations are reverse slavery. I will NOT be a slave.
Also, once could argue that we have been paying reparations for decades in the form of various social programs.
Let’s see, reparations for slavery, minus the billions wasted in the war on poverty and after-school programs, etc., leaves a hefty balance due the American taxpayer. Hmm, how will I spend my refund???
America does not owe any debt to blacks.
It’s an ignorant thought.
I don’t owe them a fricking thing as I did not bring them over here and neither did any of my relatives. So, screw them and their reparations.
What a Liberal thinks a redneck should think.
Should we feel any more obligated to pay this “debt” than the African countries we’ve loaned and given billions of dollars to via the IMF?
How much do blacks owe whites for increased costs of government due to disproportionate crime and welfare?
I think I know how the math would work out...
I have a very long list of reasons to vote against Obama, and reperations wasn’t on my list. I would be interested in seeing a list made by someone with reasons to vote for him on it. The one I made for that is blank.
Reparations have already been paid in the form of half a million casualties on over a hundred battlefields between 1861 and 1865.
the debt has been paid.
Get used to it!
I don’t owe them a damn thing. My ancestors came here and worked just as hard if not harder than slaves ( yes I know they still were not slaves ) to carve out a place. Blacks may have started behind the eight ball but the opportunity is just as open tho them as it is anyone.

Reparations? What were the trillions wasted on “The Great Society”
>>Is America ready to pay reparations for its sins of slavery?<<
Sure thing. Any of us who have ever owned slaves should pony up.
Easy to resolve. Just raise taxes on the rich and the problem is solved without affecting the rest of us. /s
