Maybe when they freed the slaves a program could have been set up to send former slaves back to Africa.

Oh wait they already did that. Many of the people that returned ended up owning slaves in Africa.

The idea of reparations is comical. If the government gave every slave decendent $10k someone would say it isn't enough. That number is impossible to quantify.

So hypothetical they did pay out, what's to stop the decendents of the Chinese railroad workers from wanting money. Other wronged groups would pop up. It would just keep growing.

Also, where does this money come from? America is already in debt, and is currently cutting funding from things like education and biomedical research.

This thread has really gone the route of every other discussion about race on this site.

Azealia Banks is an annoying individual looking for shock value and attention. We really don't need to have a debate about slavery, reparations or anything else of the matter.

Liberia is a result of former slaves returning.
