The greatest problem with "reparations for slavery" is to whom will the money be disbursed. The last known person who was transported on a slave ship to the USA was either Cudjoe Lewis, who died in 1935 or Matilda MCrear who died in 1940. Figuring out the descendants of other slaves would be an Augean Task. Consider then, The possibility of simply paying anyone in the USA who has evidence of their ancestors being enslaved -- another tangled web. Or, how about paying reparations to any person with "Black Blood"; or anyone who simply self-identifies as " African-American"? The mind boggles.
I say we DO need to pay reparations!
To each and every single person who was actually a slave.
If there are any still alive, then show them the money, all the rest can go chew chitlins!
It’s easy to understand why he’s suddenly decided to promote such rhetoric - he did speak about colour but **in a more toned-down manner.
If we read Leftists’ own assessment of Obama, they readily call him a historic President with an unhistoric presidency, calling him a pragmatist and consequentialist etc who could not get things done because of gridlock due to Congress - in short, not much to boast for. The few books I’ve read assessing his presidency focus on these points, but this is not really history-in-the-making material. So, Obama’s constant white bashing allows him to rewrite his own presidency - easier to blame makeup racists instead of your incompetence. His last book is a shame - haven’t read it but leafed through it.
Just in! Organized theft from whites was a non-starter because victims resented being robbed!
So now he's moved from blaming only one White Man - "It's all Bush's fault" - to all whites.
As I mentioned guys. I am black.
If I was white. HELL YEAH I would have resentment! You are only human. You have emotions like the rest of us.
Are we expecting people who have NOTHING to do with slavery. Pay their hard earn money via taxes.
To a group of people who weren't slaves themselves!!!
Peace bro. Thank you.
That's the thing.
Everyone has had something happen in the lineage. Black people and Jews are not the only ones to suffer ills. They want people divided.
I agree. That's why it's bullshit.

Kenya is calling for you! Would hate to see him miss his ride, don't let the door hit ya in the ass on the way out!
We deserve reparations for escaping to America from England and then we were nothing but surfs until we gained our independence from England.

There has been reparations. It’s called the civil war.
