Shouldn’t full reparations include relocation to one’s continent of ancestry?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
This is very funny, completely ridiculous
Reparations will never ever happen
Ha ha ha ha ha!

I’m not sure, but I don’t think there has been any Black slaves in the USA for more than 160 years other than the Chinese and Mexican ones the Democrats protect. Why would anyone today be held accountable for the sins of those who died 160 years? Besides, over a million US citizens died setting the Black slaves free. Now the Blacks want the ancestors of those who died to free the slaves to pay retributions to the ancestors of those freed slaves? Who will pay retributions to the families of those who dies setting them free?
Democrat Party should pay it for slavery, and even more so, Jim Crow.
And if i can show by DNA I am 1/32 African, well give me my share too, Democrat Party.
Why don’t we have a commission on reparations for all the public housing ruined and all the beatings, muggings, rapes and murders?

Okay, but put the guilt on the Democrat party, not the United States generally. Make the Democrats pay. The Democrat party that exists today is the same Democrat party that promoted slavery back then.
I’m actually for reparations if it can be done fairly. Which would be next to impossible.
If it could be decided what families, exactly, owe their present favorable financial status to their ancestor’s ownership of slaves back in the day, then absolutely I am for seizing that wealth from them. Of course. And distributing it to the descendents today of their slaves. It would be like a civil action, right? Trouble is this would be so hard to prove. But if it could be proven, it seems just to me.
But I’m certainly against a wholesale transfer of wealth from white families to black families which is what these reparations discussions flow toward. To do so would imply that all whites have benefitted and all blacks have been victimized. Far from the truth. My ancestors were not involved in any way in the slave trade or plantations. Mine were mainly outlaws and judges and Indians and sheriffs. That’s a whole ‘nuther set of reparations, some of which I would be on the recieving end and some on the “giving” end. And some blacks traded slaves, some owned slaves themselves. And as others have pointed out some were in the North and completely unaffected by it.
In some ways I think reparations would be a healthy way to end the discussion if it could be on a case-by-case basis with some facts and history. Close the book if you will. But it would only embolden the Left, most likely, and they would just use it to vault to their next progressive cause.
Didn’t Mohammad Ali say after the fight in Zaire, “thank God my granddaddy got on that boat?”
Reparations must be paid in historical order. The Jews were slaves in Africa for 400 years. When John Conyers starts sending monthly welfare checks to Sheldon Adelson and Al Sharpton starts sending his checks to Carl Ichan we can talk about it.
$8 trillion dollars have been spent on reparations already in the form of housing, welfare and benefits.
Nothing would ever be enough. Nothing. Ever.
Give them a 10 yr waiver from having to pay federal income taxes. And for that time, they cannot file. Be done with it :)
Dems always want free stuff that other have to pay for.
Reparations are slavery. Welfare is slavery.
White NAACP leaders need their check too.
And where are all the slaves to give reparations to?
They’re all dead because it was a long time ago. It was before the majority of people we had indoor plumbing. It was before we could harness electricity.
Slavery was outlawed over 160 years ago. The last legitimate slave, Cudjoe Lewis died in 1935.
Who in their right mind would ask for reparations today except for sinister reasons?
