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.
Also, tax payers need reparations for the billions of dollars wasted during the riots!
he must be mentel retarded.
Go back to Africa and make this claim to the tribes who sold your ancestors to the slavers,they are the ones who “OWE YOU” no one else !

K, I’ll pay the next black I see a $1.99 for the laughs this screwball just gave me, Lmao!
Okay so since no one alive today has seen a slave or owns a slave who should pay the money, and who should receive it? If it weren’t for movies and history books no one would even know it existed.

“the white man” doesn’t owe “the black man” anything but the decent respect and courtesy that is due to any human being
