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.
There is no one brought here, or born into bondage, to pay.
The only victim I see, is an identity crisis, of those raised to be a victim of their own skin.
Forgive and forget what.... and does nothing for whose culture? What culture is that? Heal from what?
I come from a cohesive family, live near no gangs (that i know of) and i'm about as integrated into American society as i want to be, and i'm not sick. Simply put, i don't know what the hell you're talking about. You're rambling.
As for your last patronizing comment....
Well, you seem to have all this frustration and ill-feelings bottled up inside of you. That can't be healthy. The grudges will eventually come to the surface.
And, I stand by my last statements that were anything but patronizing. If your culture can't pull yourself up by your own will then you are lost. The only one who will help you 100% is yourself. You seem to want to find fault with whatever I say. That is fine, Have a great day!!
What about anglo white people with "known" Black ancestors? Would they qualify for reparations or not? Too; what about Black Americans who had NO slave ancestors here in the US.
Or exemptions for people whose ancestors weren't even here back then?

Reparation should only go to survivors which is what happened with Japanese Americans after WWII.
There are no survivors of the Civil War so there wouldn't be any reparations.
The Japanese had businesses and homes taken away..tangible assets.
What did the African slaves have taken away ?
The question is what have the descendants had taken away? How many generations removed? I question what we owe? Given that not 1 person who a slave is alive and not 1 person who owned slaves is alive. Those who were victims have all died off and every slave owner has died off.
The second question is: Would reparations make any difference at all?
It won't change the past and it won't change anyones mind set.
