Too bad, they lost. They should have been better at war.

A violent, enslaving, murdering Stone Age culture replaced by a superior one? Happened all over the world since Man was on the planet. White, American guilt among Liberals is pervasive, and damaging as there is no one left around for centuries that did the things the like to virtue signal with.

While liberals are saps.

My reparations check would be put to excellent use. To those who blow it all, that's on them, though it would certainly be recouped by many and invigorate the economy. I don't support reparations for slavery as there are no victims of slavery around. But I do support reparations for victims of officially government sanctioned discrimination and violence in the form of Jim Crow laws and practices. There are still millions of Americans alive today who had to live through that.

NYT puts a dollar figure on reparations .


Yea well here is my dollar figure. $00.00. There is not a person alive today that deserves this money and the only ones that want it are the deadbeats that hang around the corners doing nothing all day. The successful black people that I know don't want any part of it.

Big cars, crack, liquor and prostitutes. People that have never had money, do not know how to manage it. The poorer, the worse the outcome. Besides, what kind of people would want to cash in on other people's suffering.

Nobody alive today was a slave. Go get a job and work for it, rather than sponging off the producers.

...or a slave owner.

Some are recommending that interest be paid all the way back from 1806 to 1860 from industry profits plus interest.

Other are recommending that the amount should be based on uncompansated labor from 1620 to 1840 plus interest.

if Hillary had "promised" reparations, the Obama base would have turned out, and she would have won.
someone is taking that lesson seriously.

Who would pay reparations, the Federal Government? The Federal Government fought a long bloody war costing more than 600.000 lives on both sides to end slavery. If any reparations are to be paid the bill should be sent to those states who fought against the abolishment of slavery. The former Confederate States of America.
