Hey what about me? My ancestors commited genocide killing savage indians to make this a safe place for slaves and the rest of us. I'm obviously very traumatized by that, where's my reparations? I am entitled.

A good argument against reparations:

1. Because nobody is alive today who suffered through antebellum slavery.


FYI: The nation of Israel was created after the Holocaust.

People who went there were Holocaust survivors.

Understand?

Why not explore moving to Liberia. It was originally setup for former American slaves. I hear it's a wonderful place.

Wouldn't that fall under social justice?

So you are saying that the former slaves were owed reparations?
