Well, if you want to discuss who takes a larger toll on the taxpayers sure it is probably white people....
but who is paying a majority of the taxes....

ok so how do we go about the reparations?
do people have to prove that their ancestors were slaves? what about the Irish? do they get reparations?
tell me how this would work exactly
So the Irish being discriminated against= the same as 400 years of slavery that allowed this country be built for free in which y'all called when America was great. Its not finicially possible to give reparations.

I'm sure they enjoyed being put in chains and forced to work while their women were being rapped and beaten if they disobeyed. Other people did it so of course its cool for america. In other countries its ok to stone women if they get raped so middle eastern women must love that too.

They just really can't see past their own noses. This will be a pandora's box if allowed. Everyone else who thinks they have been wronged will want reparations. Do I get a big check for having Jewish family now?

slavery that allowed this country be built for free
I swear the modern mentality thinks that prior to 1860 every white person in America had a legion of slaves doing all the work while white people sipped sweet tea on the front porch.
Very few people owned slaves which in turn were a very small percentage of the population. Slavery was abhorrent, but the thought that America would be nothing without slavery is absurd.

But you do realize almost every black person in this country is descendent of slaves.
You do realize that 98% of white people are descendents of people that never owed slaves? So all white people should pay for the very small minority that actually owned. I believe at some point in time during something called the civil war a lot of whites died trying to help free slaves. I'm i not correct?

Educate yourself....

The Irish slave trade began when James II sold 30,000 Irish prisoners as slaves to the New World. His Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies. By the mid 1600s, the Irish were the main slaves sold to Antigua and Montserrat. At that time, 70% of the total population of Montserrat were Irish slaves. Ireland quickly became the biggest source of human livestock for English merchants. The majority of the early slaves to the New World were actually white. From 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as slaves. Ireland's population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000 in one single decade. Families were ripped apart as the British did not allow Irish dads to take their wives and children with them across the Atlantic. This led to a helpless population of homeless women and children. Britain's solution was to auction them off as well. During the 1650s, over 100,000 Irish children between the ages of 10 and 14 were taken from their parents and sold as slaves in the West Indies, Virginia and New England. In this decade, 52,000 Irish (mostly women and children) were sold to Barbados and Virginia

You're an idiot. No surprise really

Wow, I guess I now know why the Irish hated the English for so long.

I don't see the Egyptians paying reparations to the descendants of the people that built pyramids.
or the Persians paying reparations to any of the people they enslaved.
When two vastly technologically lopsided cultures clashed, odds are someone was going to end up being a slave. Now that African-Americans are here though, they could strengthen the dual parent household, attend school, and move out the hood to a better life.
You said yourself that you have never received any kind of assistance. So you probably did everything you were supposed to fo and are now a tax paying, productive member of society.

ok. I see i'm not getting any answers from you two goons. Your motto is to drop into threads and leave baseless accusations at will and never have to get into an actual discussion. Y'all are some sad individuals.

Get off of the reparations for slavery bandwagon. You've got no leg to stand on there. If you want to bring up more recent, and frankly indefensible issues, bring up separate but equal. Bring up segregation in schools as recently as 50 years ago.

What I want to know is how mixed heritage affects these reparations.
We going one drop rule here?
