52 years of welfare and trillions in debt is reparations enough.

“Help” like that is worse than Jim Crow and Slavery and the Middle Passage put together. But it’s expensive and looks compassionate.

Since it was the leaders of the Democrat party that supported slavery, why shouldn’t the current Democrat leaders be the ones paying reparations?

Corporations want reparations, because they’ll wind up with all the money in the end.

I support reparations for all living slave victims themselves.

That is all.

I wasn’t aware of that. Is it well received in light of the fact that most numbers bandied around are in the low millions per recipient? In the hearings before the CA legislature and San Francisco Board of Supervisors were …let’s say, quite exercised… on the moral imperative of receiving the full amount. Alas, now they have the sads

The community of people demanding the trillions of dollars does not have the character, discipline or understanding to do the right thing with that amount of money.

Imagine Levar Burton, the guy who played "Kunta Kinte" in Roots, finding out one of his ancestors was a Civil War soldier (this is not just a question, it's literally a fact proven by his DNA).

So, he's directly descended from someone who held slaves, but is black.

Should he pay himself reparations?

They are already figuring that out. It just hasn’t reached a rapid boil yet.

>> My ancestors were in the Pale of Settlement.

It is not uncommon today to hear among the “woke” crowd that Da Joos were really behind the slave trade. Just look at any discussion on Quora on the subject.

Part of the effort to find “intersectionality” with the Palis.

To be fair, there were Sephardic and Lucitanic (Portuguese) Jews involved in the slave trade with the West Indies and the Americas, in Rhode Island and Jamaica. But there were also Jews involved with the spice trade with India, textiles, finance, etc., and the Arabs were much more involved in slaving than anyone else, and still at it as late as 1968. Those in the Pale of Settlement, however, were nowhere near Africa.

The whole myth of Da Jooos and slavery was famously pushed hard by “Professor” Leonard Jeffries of City College, and a really dishonest book called The Secret Relationship Between Jooos! and Blacks. Where it started, I wouldn’t know.
