Very many European-descended people died to PRESERVE THE UNION.
Whose descendants still live in the fifty United States (including those which seceded).

Don’t forget the slave brokers, Muslims!
They took over the slave trade in the 7th century and were
the go-to guys if you wanted to purchase humans.
Muslims were buying slaves from tribal leaders for bit of colored glass and cloth. This was ongoing 800 years before
white men set foot in No. America.
What nitwits! Suppose they are jealous their ancestors
didn’t make it to these golden shores ?

WRONG - They were sold into slavery by their fellow Africans. The practice continues today!

How many slaves did it take and how long? Either this IS Black heritage. . .or it isn’t. Cannot claim it; then escape the responsibility of having and abusing all those slaves used so unfairly to build their pyramids/!

Suggest that we agree as a nation to reparations. Reparations are legally based on damages or on restoring the damaged property to its original condition. Why not let any in the African diaspora ( a description by the way 'borrowed' from the Jewish people in the diaspora according to the Old Testament who have slave reparation claims minimally dating to the Pharaohs [pyramids] pre-Christian era, then the Babylonians (Iraq) then the Persians (Iran) followed by the Greeks and the Romans - New Testament)* choose between the value of restoration to original condition i.e., a slave to a black slave master in Africa circa 1700 or the value of damages which in any objective analysis based on today's better-offness are negative?
*How else do you get the black minstrel singing "When Moses was in Egypt land, let my people go."?
Also as a possible descendant of Egyptian slaves, I would also like to petition for 'reparations' and jump on the money train, like (forgive me) 'white on rice.'

My ancestors migrated here because of religious persecution. Where’s my reparations?

Some have even said that since some blacks claim that ancient Egypt was a black civilization, and that Jewish slaves were used to build the pyramids, then blacks should pay reparations to the Jews.
Sooner or later, everybody is due reparations.

Appropriate reparations, a one-way ticket to the African country of your choice.

Well, I do think the Democrat Party should pay reparations, since they were at the forefront of preserving slavery, implementing Jim Crow and opposing desegregation. Not to mention that the entire membership of the KKK was made up of Democrats.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if it was Barack Obama’s ancestors that sold people into slavery.

What’s this we’ve got now? Who’s sending billions of dollars in “aid” to whom?

Leading scholars, ambassadors and government ministers from Africa and beyond are examining economic relations and the responsibility of the original, black MUSLIM slave masters, who traded the slaves to the white devils, in undoing the slave trade damage they inflicted on Africa and her Diaspora. Better!
