Amount? Qualifications? Calculations/Formulas? The bottom line is they want a blank check. Period. Till the end of time.

It’s the ultimate shake down.

The Black race already got reparations. It’s called Affirmative Action.

So why were slave owners allowed to pass on the wealth accumulated from slavery, but the reparations from slavery can't be passed down?

Because it’s a scam, doesn’t make logical sense, pits races against each other, is against basic American principles, will result in further societal strife, doesn’t solve or fix anything, creates new victims, and will be a disaster for the country.

In short, everything anti-American Democratic/Progressive/Leftists want.

You know who are some of the most persecuted people of all time? Left handed people. We have to pay them too

Logically speaking that does make sense, one following the other. But logistically speaking, that dog just wont hunt. Maybe Ive missed it, but nobody has or apparently can even put forth any plan or procedure to carry it out. And that's a pretty notable fact.

Native American's for the most part didn't believe in land ownership.


Then it'll have to be a lot of cash.

I'm glad I got the DNA testing when they were putting in false African ancestry. $$$$$$$$

Waters, Jackson, Jessie, Rev Al, and thousands of other middle men and politicians. They are not going to send a check to individuals. I suspect it will be like the CETA program in the 70's. The peons will get a diploma or certificate and the politicians will get the stipend.

The Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA, Pub.L. 93–203) was a United States federal law enacted by the Congress, and signed into law by President Richard Nixon December 28, 1973 to train workers and provide them with jobs in the public service.

Reparations were given to the Natives, yet they benefit from affirmative action as well. White females are the biggest benefactor from affirmative action, actually.

So slavery itself, the biggest contributor to southern wealth accumulation, was anti- American if that's your logic

Of course slavery was anti American. It was fundamentally anti- human. That’s why the entire non- Muslim world repudiated it 150 years ago. It seems like we settled this with American blood and treasure in 1865, maybe you missed that in history class.

This always amuses me. The Native Americans were conquered. Show me one time in world history that a conquered people have been compensated for said loss...
