This idea is so wide open for abuse. Who is the decider? How about factoring in transportation costs, upkeep, room and board. How about some of these useless assclowns do some actual fact finding? Link for them to get started from Emory University(Emory Libraries and information technology) in next comment.

Ugly, yes, were the colonies the worst offenders? Not by a long shot.

I wonder why African countries don’t demand their descendants back?...

The checks, if any, will be of minimal value. The ‘reparations’ will go to community organizers to invest in the inner cities to improve the lives of those who live there. (You do believe that don’t you?)
IOW, a slush fund for BLM and Al Sharpton.

Harris’ background is Jamaican/Indian and Obama’s is African - neither of whom had American slave ancestors so what other than skin color gives them any claim to reparations? Nothing!

Applying the deep pockets rule, the British and Spanish should pay the lions share of reparations, with Africa getting mostly a pass.

That’s right. No repatriation.

How ‘bout descendants of black slave owners?
How ‘bout blacks that arrived after slavery?
How much ‘black’ do you have to be to qualify?

C’mon, man! You know only white people will pay.

“The checks, if any, will be of minimal value. “
I was thinking that as well. Along the line of payouts for class action lawsuits. You get like 1-2% of what you hope you will get. If that.
To: Little Ray
“How ‘bout blacks that arrived after slavery?” Pretty sure somewhere on here it was stated that possibly 5% of AAs in the US today have any ties to slaves. But a lot will claim to.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but we’re the first slaves, brought to Jamestown, set free and the slave traders sent packing?
Also, my Mother’s ancestors came over as indentured servants. Do I get a check?

The dem’s objective with this is to garner votes so they will spread out the pot of money to as many as possible thus watering down the amount each person receives.
To: JayAr36
At the time, not very many freed slaves wanted to go back to Africa either.

Well start with England and Democrats then move on from there; perhaps in a couple hundred years it’ll be resolved.

There was a woman who told Neil Boortz, “You don’t like Obama because he’s black!” Boortz replied, “Frankly, lady, I don’t like the white half of him.”
