That would sound about right. The wealthy plantation owners of the South and a few others owned slaves, the rest were just peons. Add to that all the white folks in the north and territorial west, and your figure of 1 or 2 percent is likely very correct.

Now figure in what percentage of slave owners are still alive to pay reparations and what percentage of slaves are still alive to be paid reparations and that figure is ZERO.

This bullshit is so racist it’s unbelievable. My ancestors were German and Canadian that came to the US well after slavery ended and settled in northern states that were not states during the war. My point is none of us ever owned a slave. Just why should we pay?

What about the hundreds of thousands of whites that fought in the War Between The States to end slavery, should their decedents have to pay?

And regarding the thread subject, Asians and Latinos. This is all just a scam at vote buying. Paying off living blacks that were never slaves will not solve the issue of people wanting money for nothing.
