No reparations without repatriation.

Your last chance is under the current administration. He’ll find a way to do it and call it something else.

My great-great uncle was killed while freeing the slaves in the Civil War. He had no descendants since he died before having children. He was a fresh immigrant from Norway, and hadn't even learned much English. His only compensation was a return to his brother (my great grandfather) of some of his belongings, the remainder were probably stolen. He didn't even receive his last pay.
Where's my reparation? It seems to me that a life lost to free slavery is worth at least as much as the cost of slavery.

Black Americans have no right to reparations.....some of them need some anti whining lessons. There are a lot of black Americans getting to go to the front of the line because of an atrocity committed against their ancestors by numerous people including their own ancestors who sold them to slave traitors.

Lies, lies. The government and the working people’s money and businesses have been doing that for years.

Reparations for slavery was supposed to be one of the things Hillary was going to be running on with her planned run for president in 2004.
Problem is in August of 2002 Charles Baron derailed Hillary’s dirty trick campaign of demanding reparations for slavery when he let the cat out of the bag the plan involved orchestrate race riots in every city of the US.
OOPS!

And how much should the countries who participated in slave trading contribute? Never could have happened without the slave traders and their ships.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
I read the article and thought about what I believed, then scrolled down to find comments. Never could find them, probably because the site knows that their writers and guest writers don't make a bit of sense.
However, I did notice something interesting. Every single criminal with a photo was black. Every one, bar none. I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled. I found an article about some white fishermen who were pretty much railroaded by police, but really, all the criminals talked about were black.
Reparations: when you find someone that was a slave, I say give them reparations! And when you find someone that owned a slave....make them pay said reparations!
Exceptions: welfare income, Section 8 housing, food stamps, affirmative hiring, affirmative preferences in colleges, and many, many more, will be deducted from the reparations. Oh, no one is alive that was a slave, or no one who was a slave got those things? Well, good. That's disposed of then!

Mebbe somebody could tell them some prez negated the 40 acres and a mule commitment through prosecutorial discretion?
To: Vendome
We did pick our own cotton, Vendome. My mother's family and far back picked cotton. My mother picked cotton. Far after the War.
Blacks like to pretend that they were the only ones out there in the sun, sweating and suffering, but it wasn't so.

You know what else I’m thinking. If we take the value of 2 acres and one mule, and divide it up amongst their numerous progeny and descendants, they’d get ..what? two cents???

Don’t forget the Pigford case,if you get a tomato plant in your apartment window in New York City you got 50 thousand dollar checks for being a black farmer.

There has been billions extra given to blacks since Obama. I know the banks are a large part of the Nwo and have been giving them handouts since before Obama.

I think the payback is coming after 50 years of this affirmative action crap.

The trillions in welfare and decades of reverse discrimination for slavery, plus the black crime and murder against whites which far surpass lynchings of the past, is enough payment.
