Slavery only existed in America for 89 years. Prior to 1776 that was Great Britain slavery.
Tired of this getting glossed over.
The people pretending to be aggrieved by 1619 slavery do not give a hoot about real 2021 slavery, and frequently they enable it.
Also, slavery only existed in the Confederate States of America for 4 years.
When the Arabs and any American blacks with genetic ties to slave trading tribes apologize for slavery first, I’ll possibly consider apologizing were there any gentic ties of my own (there are not).
Anytime one wants to begin the reparations conversation, I am always first to say fine, here is your boat and or plane ticket to your country of origin. Your choice. Live here where since the end of slavery in 1865 slavery has been not lawful. Since then the country has tried its best to even the playing field. So the choice as a free person is stay and shut the hell up or go to where you think your lot in life would be better. One proviso, you cannot come back if you go.
I am beyond tired of hearing of this crap especially since none of my ancestors owned or were slaves at any time in recorded history, here or in our country of origin.
However the Blacks “always and forever a victim” mentality will never let that go. Otherwise they'd have t take responsibility for their life today and we've made it far too easy for them to thrive on welfare, with live in boyfriends working, and getting paid for every kid they have.
So, to extend the revealed truth to its conclusion, Democrat hypocrites are complicit with both domestic and international slavery through their ideology and their actions. Ignorance is the driving force among the weak minded purveyors of CRT. Prove me wrong.
The slave does not dream of being free. He dreams of revenge. He wants to be the slavemaster, not the slave. See BLM for evidence.
I think good reparations would be to put blacks on free, one way flights to Liberia.
No Honkies there, problem solved.
In fact they don’t care about anything other than furthering their agenda. Facts don’t matter to them. All of this circulating on conservative websites means nothing to them nor the public. None of this ever gets out into the MSM.
Reparations?
I’LL give ya reparations!
Here’s a free trip to the land where your ancestors were caught, and enslaved. Feel free to hunt down the descendants of their captors, and settle the old family score by whatever means you choose.
Come on back when you’ve got it all outta your system. If you survive, that is.
Oh, and another thing...
Your choice is between this offer and NOTHING, and only for a limited time.
Slavery has been endemic throughout history. It is noted in the Bible. It endured in China, especially under the Mongols. Slav - Slave.
Baker, who along with Speke are known for their exploration of the Nile, was married to a European woman with long blond hair who he bought at an Arab slave market in Romania. Reparations? Instead, offer American Blacks who are unhappy a payment of ten grand and a free ticket to Africa. As Marcus Garvey found out, there would be few takers.
The book THE DEFEAT OF JOHN HAWKINS by Rayner Unwin, gives us a good look at the African slave trade.

If you wanted slaves all you had to do was sail to Dahomey in West Africa.
The Dahomeans revelled in capturing slaves from weaker tribes and would trade them for cheap firearms and alcohol.
The slave pens of Dahomey filled on a yearly basis, and any slaves not sold by a certain date were put to a grisly death in Dahomean religious ceremonies.
In fact any african-american of west african origin is likely descended from a Dahomean slave saved from execution by a slave trader.
Of course I am ineligible for reparations since my ancestors came to America wearing chains - but on English convict ships.
Marcus Garvey founded the Black Star Line shipping company.
It consisted of ships purchased with contributions from Garvey’s followers - who were hired to work as crew for the ships.
The Black Star Line went bankrupt because its employees pilfered anything of value on the ships that wasn’t welded down.
On my fathers side, my family came here as INDENTURED SERVANTS (in other words “SLAVES”), deported from England because they were WELSH HIGHWAYMEN so it is said.
My Mothers family came here from Prussia after the loss at the Battle of SAALFELD.
My Fathers side of the family were escaped “WHITE SLAVES”, my Mothers side of the family were defeated Prussian soldiers.
We were always to poor to own any slaves, as any livestock was very expensive.
You have hit the nail on the head. Those people are still slaves.
