Agree, start with the Brits.

But I am of Welsh heritage and my ancestors (along with the Irish) suffered in the coals mines of eastern Pennsylvania. Do I get reparations?

Nobody from the civil war is alive and my ancestors arrived on shore after the civil war. So why do I have to pay reparations?

Sure, let’s give each black gang banger, murderer, rapist and welfare deadbeat reparations. Do successful black actors, athletes, lawyers, doctors, etc. also get reparations?

This is insane.

no,no,no

start with their own FAMILIES in Africa who sold them to the white men

All the slave ships were is only a second part in this, the slave traders the third, the buyers the fourth

go for the FIRST party in all this, the very people of Africa who sold them in the first place.

Let’s see, the British brought African slavery to the North American continent, so...that's’ the first place that reparations should begin.

**** Agree, start with the Brits. ****

That was already tried. Maybe ten years ago now. And the reparation hustlers LOST. It went all the way to the English High Court. Basically, the court ruled that since slavery was legal at the time, no law was broke and as such, NOTHING was owed.

It didn't get much press here (natch) but I LMAO when I read about it. So the only 'sucker' left for the reparation hustlers is the USA.

An aside, I'm sick of hearing of "250 years of slavery", "400 years, of slavery", yada yada, yada. Being generous, slavery in "America" existed for a grand total of Eighty-Seven Years - period (1776-1863). And if we go from the US Constitution ratified in 1787, only 76 years.

Mine arrived from Germany during the 1920's. My siblings and I are first generation American so we'll take a pass on reparations too!
