Yes, he's serious.

You guys got paid the first time, fair and square.

You can’t write an addendum to the original contract hundreds of years later....

Now that I think of it.

You sold us junk goods.

We want a refund.

I’m all for making the Democrats pay reparations for what they did. Republicans, on the other hand, freed the slaves, so we should be exempt. In fact, Republicans should also get reparations from Democrats for the losses they suffered fighting them to free the slaves.

I don’t doubt that the whining from the Caribbean is tied to the fact that tourism is dropping (as everything is due to the economic mess Obama is prolonging). Apparently any time the easy money dries up (including with welfare here), it brings out the same outstretched black palms in whites’ faces.

This is a side effect of Planned Parenthood’s plan to eradicate blacks taking longer than anticipated.

There is no compensation for slavery. All those enslaved are now dead, as are the enslavers.

Is Rome going to pay Great Britain for the enslvement of her people? Is Saudi Arabia going to pay whites and blacks both (slavery existed there, legally, until the 1960s, and probably still does, illegally. ASk numerous Philippine housemaids)?

Some people need to get over themselves and try to make something of their lives, instead of demanding that other people be “sensitive” to their racially charged tantrums.

Just saying.

When word of massive ill-treatment being meted out to slaves that were sold to the colonial powers got back to Africa, the African countries tried to stop the selling of their people, but Europe and the US, so caught up in their greed for the products that were produced from free labour, continued to enslave Africans by force.

That sounds to me like an unmitigated LIE.
