But, if it were a fair world devoid of the politics of victimization, aggrievement, and correctness, I'd say the blacks owe us, on balance.
“blacks owe us, on balance.”
Good point. Sure some people enslaved some blacks 150 years ago but if it wasn’t for slavery, they’d be in Mugabeland or Liberia. I bet you anything slavery in NC was better than Slavery in Sudan.

There is little doubt of that.
How long must we wait for a politician who OVERTLY and CONSISTENTLY calls blacks on their longstanding, insolent racism and diseased entitlement mentality?
I'm surprised no ambulance-chasers are pursuing blacks' payment due to the descendents of civil war soldiers who died to "free the slaves"....
Why not "reparations" from blacks to whites for all they have been given to date? Maybe when they get their reparations' "pie", the whites will be able to collect on the debt owed? (No use sueing them yet, they live on public dole now, and it's out of taxpayers' pockets, so there's no gain)
There's not any question that this is true. American blacks have the highest standard of living of any blacks on earth, and they wouldn't enjoy that if they hadn't been brought here as slaves. No nation in sub-Saharan Africa has ever had a comparable standard of living. The only ones close were South Africa and Rhodesia, pre-"liberation".
Every day, blacks throughout the world, but especially in America, enjoy the fruits of Western innovation. Cars, planes, TV, computers, stereos, microwave ovens, refrigerators, clocks, and countless other things they never came close to creating in their homelands. Should we charge them CIVILIZATIONAL ROYALTIES for using these things? Normally, we should be happy to share these innovations with everyone (well, except enemy nations in certain cases) but if whites have to pay reparations for slavery, then whites should be able to charge royalties whenever blacks use white inventions.
“Not to mention over a half million dead white guys in the Civil War. Any credit for price in blood? Didn’t think so, these are dead white guys after all.”
Shhhh....now, your ancestors, like mine, who fought and died for the Union don’t matter!
