Imho, American natives are the ones that ought to be complaining about reparations....hard to deny their claims.

Cherokee blood here: your right you know, Native Amerians were treated less than human and hunted down like dogs. If my g-grandmother had not married my g-grandfather (Irish) she would have been herded from North Carolina along with the rest of her tribe and maybe, just maybe, she might have survived the "Trail of Tears".

But we have found a better way to fight back, complaining is for the weak, it's called "Education". We have educated our children and we give credit where credit is due, to all men but we have deep respect and gratefulness to the brave White men and women that did stand-by and stand-up for my people.

Blacks cannot claim ignorance when it comes to cruelty and injustises, their damn Buffalo Soldiers were out there hunting down and killing my people, we would like to hear their pathetic excuses for that barbarism. No white man "forced" them to kill my people, slavery was over.

Black leaders and Black organizations have given their people something they will never let go of, it's called "Excuses for Failure", they will never run out of excuses as to why their sorry a*** can never get ahead, even though it has been their since the first black man learned to read under the threat of death, it's called "Education" and they throw it back in everyones face today with both hands, we have no sympathy for these people that will not try.

Thank you

It's not hard at all to deny their claims. They were primitive savages without a written language or the wheel. There was a war of conquest, and they lost. They fought wars of conquest among themselves - we were just better at it. You may not know about their practices of cannibalism, torture, slavery, etc. No one can say "Well, that's it. No more wars of conquest - you all have to live with what you've got." We weren't particularly kind to these savages - but we were kinder than we had to be.
