Thank you Mr. Massie. BOOM! Shakka lakka! Maybe that's what one gets from fauxsnooze now. Don't watch 'em so they can claim whatever they like.

Maybe *they* should be paying reparations to the descendants of those who lost their lives fighting in the Civil War for the purpose of freeing the slaves?

“based upon melanin and the ability to prove an ancestral connection to slavery in America”
Based on melanin.......I’ve seen many instances of American blacks judging each other based on the lightness or darkness their skin.....lighter skinned blacks somehow believed to be superior to darker skinned blacks.......American blacks are more than likely THE most racist group of people on the planet......even among each other.

Will blacks accept the government checking their background all the way back to slavery , what about criminals will they still get millions ?

To: The Duke
Yeah. None of my ancestors were slave owners and I can prove it. We were all Yankees. And my great great uncle was a senator from Indiana who was involved in the underground railroad. So they can pound sand. And if they try to take my house, I’ll burn it down.

I’m trying to figure out why they deserve reparations. They should thank their ancestors for what they endured and not try to make money off of it.

The entire premise is wrong, but assume that reparation is to place the injured party in a position of financial indifference. That is, what sum of money leaves the plaintiff indifferent to the absence or presence of the event. I did such calculations as an expert witness over a period of 40 years, using my Ph.D. in economics as the basis of my testimony. I did the same for blacks in the US by comparing wage rates in the three African nations that exported slaves to the US with the average wage rate of blacks in the US. I then did a present value analysis for just over 150 years. It turns out,
blacks owe non-blacks in the US just over $640,000 each.
My question is: What line of reasoning was used to arrive at a number wrong by more than $1.84million?

they should be paid for ancestors slavery with the stipulation that they give up U.S. citizen ship and immediate deportation to Africa.

What line of reasoning was used to arrive at a number wrong by more than $1.84 million?Polite version: Pull number out of air. Does it sound good? That's your reparations.
To: rktman
Good gawd, does anyone proof read anymore? I just read the excerpt, not the full article. If it’s anything like the excerpt...
To: rktman
They don't deserve it. But they are going to get it. Why? Because the Politicians know that no matter how much money they give them, inside of 30 days, the local drug dealers will have every penny and they will be happily smoking or using themselves to death. Then they can be replaced by Mexicans and South Americans on the Democrat Plantation.

I’m starting to think that I’d rather have them on a handout than sitting behind a desk determining when I get my passport or whether my building permit is being denied. Let them stay home and the country’s workers (me) can just support them with an allowance.

I would have to cast my vote for the Japanese or Chinese.
I'm talking about the ones in the countries Japan and China.
They make the old South Africans look like amateurs when it comes to discrimination.
To: rktman
Most of my ancestors came from Wales and England and were forced off their land by enclosures and tax burdens. They came to America for a better life working in the coal mines of West Virginia and southern Ohio. How much reparations am I entitled to because of the maltreatment of my ancestors?
To: rktman
I have always had this thought, their resentment is not so much because their ancestors were slaves, but rather because they are black.
