I have a few questions about this.  Most blacks are not 100% black.  Most blacks in the USA are now, as a result of interbreeding, part white.

So how will reparations work if someone is 1/2 white and 1/2 black?  Will the white 1/2 owe the black 1/2 in which case it cancels out and this person pays nothing and gets nothing?

Does a white person that is 10% black get a 10% reductions in Reparations they have to pay?

And how exactly will we determine how "black" someone is?  Will everyone need to get their DNA tested?

Will blacks have to pay restitution to American Indiians?

And what about the slaves that got here the week before the Civil war ended that were only a slave for a week?  Do they still get full reparations?

And what about Northerners that had an ancestor that died fighting to free the slaves.  Do they get reparations too?

The questions are mind boggling.

Does this also apply to the Irish or just the blacks?  If so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say...

They're racist.

There's really only one question. Are there any slaves still alive?



If yes (hah) then reparations can bed discussed.



If no, then fuck off.

My late Dad thought it would be a great idea.
He reasoned that if we gave everyone of them 100k we would get it all back in less than a year because they would blow it on shoes,jewelry,cars,dope,and booze and other worthless shit.
Just do it and then we will be rid of the whining.

Wrong.  Slave ships were still coming to the U.S. right up to the beginning of the civil war and were mostly likely being brought in from the carribian in small numbers during the war.

Don't forget the chinese that built railroads.

 



I'd be all for reparations, if they were in the form of a one-way ticket to a country that looks like they do and a passport shredder.

We both know there is an exception to every rule.
But for the most part I think my Dad was correct.

The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves of 1807 (2 Stat. 426, enacted March 2, 1807) is a United States federal law that stated that no new slaves were permitted to be imported into the United States. It took effect in 1808, the earliest date permitted by the United States Constitution.

Again though,pay them off and when they run that into the ground and they certainly will,then they own their on fate and society can collectively tell the foolish ones to fuck off.

Any living slave who can find their living master should be able to sue. I never owned a slave or even my family (not in the US during the Civil War) so not a damn penny of my tax dollars should contribute towards any reparations.

My white ancestors were kidnapped by Barbary pirates (muslims) and sold into slavery.

Where are MY fucking "reparations"?

I demand them NOW, payable from the muslims.

40 acres and a mule for each slave.  Divided evenly among all the direct descendants of the slave.  Solved.

Now let's talk about Native American reparations...  And wasn't the draft a form of slavery?  

Could Alaskan Eskimos get reparations from the Russians? What about the Aztecs and Incas?

No reparations.
Anyone who is at least half black can receive a 1-way plane ticket to their country of choice in Africa.
This will come $500 cash and a revocation of U.S. citizenship.

Reparations shouldn't be issued solely on a racial basis. It would be whoever had an ancestor who was deprived of their rights. Plenty of black people have come here after slavery ended and therefore would not qualify on the basis of skin color alone. We should have done it when GM when bankrupt. Sell a ton of Cadillacs. Also whoever receives reparations gets a lifetime ban from welfare. Oh, and tax on said reparations

My folks did own some slaves in the 1840s, not proud of it but don't deny it either.  I never owned any.  What don't blacks understand about I personally am not responsible in any way for events that took place 160+ years ago and I for damn sure ain't giving you a fucking penny?  If you think you're gonna get something from me you need to get that thought out of your head.  The only thing I'll give willingly is 55 or 62g FMJ.

This whole scheme sounds racist to me.  When do I get reparations from the black community for wasting my money since the 60s?  I demand satisfaction and a public apology from Jackson and Sharpton.

Reparations known as "black privilege" (race based preferences) has been taking place for some time now.
Also tens of thousands of blacks from Africa have been immigrating here every year for decades; why would they get a race based payout?
Maybe its time to that Indians get a payout, the Irish...then there is the "Roman issue" in Europe, Yugoslavia (land of slaves) not to mention Germans that were slaughtered and raped in East Prussia (now Poland) that are owed by both the current governments of Poland and Russia for their suffering and land confiscations.
I could name historical instances that would would put 95% of the worlds population as being  done wrong at some point in human history.
Unless you personally were enslaved you should get nothing, otherwise we are going to have to divide the payout by 7 billion people. In fact why not just pay everyone in the world, that would make more sense.

Reparations were already paid.  It was called the Civil War.  Sorry they missed it.  Perhaps if they picked up a book and read about it...
