So people who had nothing to do with slavery in any way have to pay reparations to people who had nothing to do with slavery in any way

They can get their reparations from the descendants of the tribal chiefs who sold them. Then they can repay the welfare money.

Part of an ongoing movement to inflame racial animus by pissing off white people.

Since the Democratic Party was the supporter and defender of slavery in the nineteenth century only Democrats should have to pay for reparations.

The day the federal government pays ‘reparations’ is the day I stop paying income tax.

They make a handsome couple, no doubt. Youโ€™d never know from looking at them that theyโ€™re a couple of lunatic cranks

Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash

Soon, even most of the liberals will tire of this - this never-satisfied victimhood

A lot of small and mid-sized cities have also given “reparations.”

Thats some interesting math. 16 Trillion...to solve nothing. What this will do is incite more black on white violence...because its only talk...thats its whole purpose...to cause more crisis...more social unrest among idiots. Amazing how many young whites will burn buildings but wont put up a penny.

The purpose of this is to generate support for segregation.

Reparations need to come from State and Federal funding and Institutional Endowments of Higher Edumacation.

Put them outta business. Bankrupt them.

Let’s all eat the seed corn to descend into 3rd Worldness together.

My answer to the reparations question is simple...

No.

Give any American descendant of any American slave (who can prove the ancestor was a slave before the Emancipation Proclamation) a free, one-way airline ticket from the USA to the African nation of their choice. That should completely settle the matter.

I remember the “Back to Africa Movement” of the 1960’s. Some black professor visited Africa and quickly admitted he had no desire whatsoever to permanently live there.

The life of the author of this call for reparations is a good example of why reparations are not justified. He is the son of two successful academics and he went to good schools. He landed himself a faculty position at Duke, which has been the springboard of his social-activism. Whatever his background, clearly the previous existence of slavery did not hold him or his parents back.
