Absolutely not, and I'm Black. You can't blame people today for what their ancestors did in the past. That's like killing a puppy because its mother bit your older sister. What does that puppy have to do with anything? The puppy can't control what happened in the past, and it isn't right or fair to punish the puppy for something it didn't do.

I will say that the Europeans are responsible for a good portion of the chaos in Africa, the middle-east, and Whites being all over the world in different countries. When you go to a foreign land and move the people around out of their own free will, set illogical and unfair national borders, steal resources and farmland, then just leave afterwards, you're bound to have chaos. Though I will say that the native Africans didn't help by selling their own people to the Europeans for money, and creating slavery.

Also, those reparations you speak of are called welfare and child support, and they're available to all people that need it.

That would be fun to see people asking Germany to pay for the genocide they commited as well as the numerous buildings and cities they completely destroyed with the relentless bombing.

Germany actually *did* pay substantial reparations after WWII (they would have been higher, but no one wanted a repeat of Versailles).

What about Roman Empire? They enslaved so many people from all over the world, I imagine Italian government would be pleased to pay everyone. 

To some degree, almost everyone by now and in the foreseeable future, has some hereditary relations to a slave. 

If then, how does the the government even determine the requirements on how much one needs to become a 'descendant' of a slave?

If it is some kind of numerical value, then that will probably 80% of Americans. Very hard to handle.

 

Affirmative Actions is the closest thing to 'reparation' and that also have been challenge on its fairness.

No.

 

We already do -- when they commit crime, we give them 3 meals and a place to stay. We also give them welfare. They don't need more dindunuffin money.

Nope

ahhhhhh give me my money white people Im sick of this crap I want my cash, I want a ps4 jk :) lol

Did you not take in any of our points at all? *sigh*

Hell no. We already paid them reparations. We've bent over backwards for them to make up for it. It's done and over with. 

No. During WWII the U.S imprisoned the Japanese and you don't see them whining or struggling to make a living.

Whoever say's no is heartless and cruel. When someone hurts a family member we make sure the law brings them to justice. And most of the time families are compensated.

Are you serious right now??? Why should i pay them for something i had no part in?

Umm maybe because your sympathetic, and you would want it for your people, and you actually have respect for the humanity of other's. I mean I could be wrong though.

The point im trying to make is pay or we'll take it.

Let's remain civil and on topic. Threats won't be tolerated. 

How much money can the US government really give give? There's around 40 million black people in America. Give them $100 each and that's 4 billion right there. How much is a respectable amount to give without causing problems? I'm black and I don't want the government paying me money because of what happened 150 years ago. 

... Pretty sure a lot of "white" people died in the Civil war to fight for the freedom of African-Americans, to get rid of the Confederacy, and to lash back against "exploding" slavery.  Sure some of you will argue the fact that this wasn't the cause of the war...  you've been paid in the blood of the of the brave Union men already.  I guess that's not enough though. 

 

I rarely comment on these types of topics - but this ones funny.  More died in this war then in WWII and other wars combined for our nation, but its not a big deal... we just kinda said ... "Yea ok - no more slavery, lets just stop... ", didn't cost others anything...  -.-

 

I mean - do you have any memories of being a slave?  Did you personally suffer the injustice of it?  We are all currently born into equal rights, as a equal man - and whatever you wanted to do with your life, so far you've done it.  What a touchy subject.  

FinKone is right. I agree with paying everyone who was a slave a compensation. Guess not much of them is around tho.

 

About modern slavery. Compensations shouldn't be the government's responsibility. The state is responsible for upholding the law, so if right now  someone is enslaved the perps must be found and prosecuted. However any compensation should be sought in a civil lawsuit to the wrongdoer, not to the state.

I smell rats, The government knew that by not giving slaves reparations when it counted, there would be none of them left in the future thus giving the descendants of those devils a chance to argue against it. If I were president you would all still pay.

I'd say this is going nowhere productive. 

Nothing to see here!
