Realize that blacks are no different than whites, except maybe a little more inclined to physical violence.
If the world had been different and whites were taken as slaves instead of Africans, whites would probably still be slaves.
There would not have been any freedom.
Blacks still engage in slavery TODAY. They still sell each other to Arabs.
Slavery is part in parcel to war and subjugation. Whites may have outlawed it in our effort to become a more civilized society, but blacks still see it as a means of control and dominance.
Blacks have the option of pretending to be more superior towards slavery, since they are not in power, but the truth is that if the circumstances were reversed, they would be just a brutal as they are right now.
So, the answer to your question is NO, we would not be getting any reparations.
I agree that black slaves and their descendants have never had a fair shake in this country. No doubting that.
What was done to them was/is horrible. Lincoln should have packed every single one of them up and repatriated them home right after the war. It would have saved a great deal of torment and sadness.
I can only imagine what it must be like to be immersed in a group of people that do not look like you, do not see the world like you, do not think like you, and treat you as an outsider. Combined with the pressure of knowing nearly everything around you comes from someone who you believe hates you (which in some cases they did). It is my belief that this is the primary reason behind mental illness in the black community.
None the less, we are different animals. This whole "skin deep" nonsense is that. We are biologically and genetically completely different species.
All people deserve respect and equal treatment. But there ARE differences among the races. There are also exceptions. Brilliant and stupid people can be found in every race. However, if the differences are generally consistent, it is notable. Even if someone is diagnosed with Diabetes you use different medications for blacks and whites.
We need to acknowledge that. Society should try to put those advantages to good use, not ignore the differences because they're not PC, or be racist against any race.
It is terrible that blacks have not received healthcare in line with their physiology. There is a distinct difference that has not been taken into account in healthcare primarily derived for white men. This is not a slam against white men but when your the majority driver in creating a system, it is perfectly normal that the system reflect its makers. Some call this "Systemic Racism or Systemic Oppression" but it was never that deliberate, it just is how the system came to be. Even healthcare for white women (another different animal) has suffered for it. No one intentionally designs a system to ONLY benefit one type of person.
A recent example is the little finger monitor that measures blood oxygen. Saw an article declaring the Oxymeter as RACISSS (can you believe this clown world). Turns out that the little light in these meters is not calibrated high enough to read properly through brown skin. Turns out the Japanese inventor, Takuo Aoyagi, who created it did not even consider this as a factor. I am pretty confident that he was not a racist.
NO.

This is not PC, but it is true. Many will not like to hear it or believe it. I will not respond to angry posts refuting it. FACTS:

Too bad Lincoln was assassinated by the deep state before he could do it.
