A new website allows non-white people to ask for and receive “reparations” from white people, more often than not in the form of a financial windfall: free laptops, tuition for Ivy League schools, an engagement ring and credit assistance are a few examples of reparations requested, offered or already paid out on the site. Reparations.me, founded by a black woman named Natasha Marin, has a Craigslist-like layout where non-white people post their requests for reparations from white people. White people can fulfill requests as well as post their own offers of reparations.
I don’t blame her.
We should have given them all free passage back to Africa after the Civil War.
“A comparison of the Muslim slave trade to the American slave trade reveals some interesting contrasts. While two out of every three slaves shipped across the Atlantic were men, the proportions were reversed in the Muslim slave trade. Two women for every man were enslaved by the Muslims.
While the mortality rate for slaves being transported across the Atlantic was as high as 10%, the percentage of slaves dying in transit in the Transsahara and East African slave trade was between 80 and 90%!
While almost all the slaves shipped across the Atlantic were for agricultural work, most of the slaves destined for the Muslim Middle East were for sexual exploitation as concubines, in harems, and for military service.
While many children were born to slaves in the Americas, and millions of their descendants are citizens in Brazil and the USA to this day, very few descendants of the slaves that ended up in the Middle East survive.
While most slaves who went to the Americas could marry and have families, most of the male slaves destined for the Middle East were castrated, and most of the children born to the women were killed at birth.
It is estimated that possibly as many as 11 million Africans were transported across the Atlantic (95% of which went to South and Central America, mainly to Portuguese, Spanish and French possessions. Only 5% of the slaves went to the United States).”
Only under Christianity has slavery been stamped out.
I find it revolting that young and old Blacks take Muslim names, ignore the true history of how their ancestors became slaves, and fall to the lure of Islam.
Reparations? Why not sue the Muslim countries (rich in oil) for going inland, capturing slaves, dragging them to the coast, and selling them to the Spanish and Portuguese?
Also, what about all the millions who were castrated, and used as sex slaves?
I thank God that my ancestor, once enslaved, was sent West and not taken East to a Muslim Hell Hole, to serve as a concubine, or sex slave.
Exactly! I don’t know why anyone is mad at her. This is a free market idea, free of coercion. She’s just giving morons with White Guilt an opportunity to buy a dispensation. lol
No needs to start your own website chief, Reparations Me.com accepts donation requests from the whole spectrum of whiny aggrieved losers, not just black ones.
I’m not mad at her; I pity her because she has obviously given up (and is encouraging others to do so).
Gibmedats going full grab as Barky’s reign comes to an end without much dat.
Has she given up or has she just seen a golden P.T. Barnum moment in history?
When the sheep get too wooly, shear them!
Hope they’re reporting to the IRS.
Also a dead issue ‘cuz I ain’t feelin’ guilty.
I doubt she’ll really profit much from it - especially as more people start e-begging for stuff from white people.
One of the best articles I’ve ever read on how the “reparations” were paid 150+ years ago:

I think am going to create a website so that former black slaves can show their appreciate for my ancestors who lost their lives in the Civil War fighting for Mr. Lincoln and the North. Of course, I think I will just make sure it can accept EBTs so most if not all can make the payments that Social Justice demands!
Except that she is making her money by running the website that all those people will use to e-beg stuff.
I am all for it if they repay the taxpayers for 60 year of freebies lets just call it a wash and be done with both
I can’t help but wonder how many offers for work boots and one way tickets to Africa she’s received so far.
Great Post ,
THANK You.
REPARATIONS LOGIC.
To blame people for something that they didn’t do based on their race is racist.
No one who was a slave is alive now...If an individual was subjected to slavery, they deserve reparations. If they were not... they don’t...since there are none alive now...dead issue.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
The government should disinter every slave body they can find, slip a gazillion dollar check in their coffins and reinter them. Reparations paid in full.
