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.
How about a pound of lead.

Some people may call him a professor, I called him a racist. We would by you a ticket to your ancestral home if you agree to stay.
$40 trillion dollars, huh? Well, if we factor inflation for the cost of white soldiers fighting to free the slaves, plus the costs of welfare, the destruction of the Urban Areas, and the cost of academics pushing their racist, bigoted thoughts to a fawning media, we might approach unity. In the meantime, I’ll gladly donate 5 times what your proposal is worth: here’s a nickel.
Come.get it Professor
Gfy
here’s my requirements. First prove to me from at least three different sources you ancestors were brought here from Africa to be sold as slaves. This is a very important step. Next list any benefits such as financial aid for school, welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, free day care, given jobs over those of other nationalists more qualified to meet a quota. Just a small list. This would probably be about three generations. Add all that up in dollars and cents. Subtract the zero monetary help my ancestors received when they arrived. Now doing the math I think you owe me hundreds of thousands for what you and your family received provided by my families taxes. So pay up.
I don’t owe them anything . more blacks owned slaves than whites . Jews ,American natives ,Celtics were the first slaves in this county not blacks.
