There’s a growing demand coming from the fringe — well, let’s hope it’s the fringe — demanding reparations for sufferings caused by slavery in America as well as for the sufferings, primarily of African-Americans, in the years since its abolition. It’s a radical idea that cannot be supported economically or ideologically.
Before going further, it must be stated emphatically that the practice of slavery is abhorrent. That it occurred in America is a stain on our history. That it occurred throughout the world for millennia, is a stain on humanity. No amount of words will remove the fact that this inhumane practice has been part of the human condition. Those who worked for its abolition deserve our admiration and gratitude.
However, demands for trillions of dollars in reparations to the descendants of those who suffered under slavery in America in not supportable. More on page two.
Tough$#%&!@*$#%&!@* You get nothing.
And you owe me the same amount for pain and suffering
one way ticket to Africa
Get it from OBAMA he’s got all your money sonny!
White people owe black people SQUAT!!!
I am confused. If America is so horrible and Africa so wonderful, why did any of them stay after they were free to go? And why do they continue to immigrate here? What about all the blacks who were never slaves? What about the ones who were owned by other black people in America?
You will give us credit for the billions we’ve paid you for the past fifty years, will you not, through every welfare program under the sun? Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

I’ll write my check today.
