No one else has been harmed.
It would be foolish to pay.

What about my payment for the trail of tears my ancestors endured?
Where does it end?

Gay people for being discriminated?
Women, for not having their full rights?

Where does it end?

The experiment in freedom will end, the day the people realize, they can vote themselves to the entire US Treasury.
That ship sailed long ago, the day the 16th Amendment was enacted. The US. Treasury was gone, and they needed to get more, to buy more votes.


How long was the promise of a ceiling of a 7% income tax enforced? How long did it take for them to push it to 70%
Give the government an inch and they will take it all.

Worst that would happen is white people would get on CD and crash the server.

Black people would spend 50% of that money in the first month and the economy would be booming because money that is given is rarely valued like money earned.

race war? lmao... more like race to the computer to play warcraft on your XBOX.
First thing I'd do before it happened would be buy a liquor store.

Seeing as how there's no chance of this happening (reparations), it's moot.

A race war could be touched off by far less in this country. Americans certainly hate each other sufficiently enough...always have.

No. Not if it went to court and PASSED.

But if it went to court and FAILED?
God, help us all.

I never knew for years the amount of deep resentment blacks feel even though they were never slaves. Obama brought it to the surface.

Lol...yeah, to you, we were like the servants in Ol' Massa's house. We're there, but like most fairly delusional people, you figured that blacks are without emotion or capable of thought. Or maybe you figured that we all have Stockholm Syndrome.

Why am I not surprised at your revelation.

"Look Ethel...Rastus can read!" LMAO...

But you knew NOTHING until 2008. Amazing.

As a black male, I don't believe it will cause a race war. I don't think blacks should get reparations. And the main reason is because the less you need government the better. Black America being predisposed to ask the government is down right disgusting in my opinion. Blacks don't need reparation. We just need ourselves and the power of the market.
