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.

The Whites owe you nothing. In fact, you owe the Whites trillions for freeing your ancestors by giving their lives for the slaves and giving the freed slaves the opportunity to live freely in the USA. You ought to be grateful for a nation to do that. Now grow up and be an adult. No one owes you anything any more.
He’s FOS !
BULL$#%&!@*!!!
Why do we owe you anything?we’re YOU ever a slave??
I agree only bulls$*#
Shouldn’t he go after African descendents who sold the slaves, the Ship carriers who helped with travel to supply slaves across the world. America is a free country, work hard and earn a living. Try going to another country and making demands like that. Good luck. History shows whites and other races were sold into slavery as well.
I don’t owe you$#%&!@*bitch. You owe me you dead beat
wrong again!!!
That like white folks saying black folks owe the white folks 40 trillion for freeing the slaves.
Sounds stupid doesn’t it ? And so do you !!!!!!!!!!!!!
