I will happily support paying it, with one condition - that the bill gets marked “paid in full”.

Bwahahahahahahaha, yeah right. Next they will demand their own country, taken from the Southern States, and then it will be something else...It will never end.

Should have picked our own damned cotton.

This is fantastic news! Maybe Danny Glover can put an end to the Clinton Foundation’s slave trading.

They also owe me for what Affirmative Action has done to me where I was physically beaten from 1st day in Kindergarten to 18 in High School by an the same individual. School didn’t want to do anything because he was the first minority in our school district.

***”My ancestors were digging potatoes in Ireland and eating monkeys in the Philippines...”

My Patriarch was a Hessian Solider, taken from a field as a teen, rented to England and decided to stay in this Great New Country, married an English gal and was a wanted man back home (I have a copy of the Wanted Poster) All of his Families Possessions, Property etc were Confiscated.
All before Germany existed, Do I tell Germany that I want Reparations? Do I tell England? Do I jump in with Jessie and Al? Do I have to daily Bitch about what happened to my Ancestor?

I completely agree with reparations. And every person who did not receive the opportunity to improve themselves at the time slavery was condoned that is still alive should receive it. That means that anyone born into slavery and mistreated in 1865 or before, the year that slavery was abolished, and being 139 years old or older, should receive reparations. Call your congressman immediately to start the paper work. And inform your CPA to protect it on your taxes. Can’t wait to see the turnout like the count of the million man march.

Next they will demand their own country

I would even go for that, as long as the divorce is final.

I wouldn’t mind paying a little when they permanently got off the plane or boat back in their native ancestral land, never to return to the US. Payable in the local money.

Reparations? Not a chance....Nobody alive today was or is responsible for what happened generations ago.. we had nothing to do with it! American taxpayers owe nothing.

Black people suffer today fron within their own communities: street gangs and crime, fatherless families, irresponsible ‘baby mamas’ getting pregnant outside of marriage, high school dropouts, etc. etc.

If not for the efforts and lives of over 600,000 Western white Christian men, you, Danny Boi, would be a slave today. But you aren’t one, right? As a matter of fact, you’ve done pretty well for yourself. Now pound sand or shine my shoes.

My third great-grandfather had a few slaves in Tennessee. My second great-grandfather served in an Illinois regiment for the entire Civil War, and went with Sherman to the sea. He married the slaveowner’s daughter on the way back to Illinois. I never received a dime’s worth of benefit from the old man’s slave money but, because the Union soldier and the Confederate daughter got together, eventually I got to be born.
