The original slave owners were black, I think Africa owes them all 100 acres each of free land. Fact is there were black slave owners here too, who pays for that?
So, reparations to any non-living group(person) is wrong. Americans owes nothing to other Americans' especially pay outs to people that did not suffer under rules and laws of a different time.
Not a single American today was alive during the slave days in the US. Not one single person can show their parents were part of the slave years. Not a single person can show their grand parents to the slavery days.
This is all bullshit. Each and every American has the right to tap into the American dream. This dream is different for each and every person.
Every one has a personal choice to make. Are you going to choose to be a scum bag in the US? Or are you going to choose to be a productive member of society?
You gonna get an education? Get a job? Earn an honest dollar? Or, are you going to CHOOSE to to be a scum bag? Are you going to CHOOSE to be a criminal? Are you going to CHOOSE to suck off the system, a system that is paid for by hard working and good Americans?
If you choose to be the scum in which I speak of, I say good, rot away and die. If you do not have what is needed in life, you put yourself in that spot.
I am very successful because I work hard. I work long hours. I have a fantastic life plan, I have stashed all kinds of money and resources away for my later years. I will have three pensions upon retirement. I have money in the bank, I own a house. I drive a really nice truck. I own country property. I do very well. I do well, not because I am a lighter Person of Color, I do well because I work hard. (The above statement is not to sound like I am bragging, just pointing out that this can happen to any American.)
Fuck all reparations to all peoples.

I want reparations from every country that raided Europe, my family didn't migrate to the US until well after slavery ended, I don't owe descendants of slaves a f'ng thing.

My ancestors fought to abolish slavery. If anything, they should be paying me!

Just another excuse for them to set up another “committee “ to pad their salaries some more.

The Irish were used as cannon fodder during the civil war as soon as they got off the boat. You don’t see me boo-hooin’ that my ancestors were catching confederate cannon balls at Gettysburg.
on second thought, give them what they want, on one stipulation. Since southern Democrats were the party of slavery, and Democrats lost the war, then only Democrats should have to pay. All registered Democrats, payable to the IRS, to be redistributed as the Fed’s see fit.
