People inherit money and property from their ancestors, I fail to see the problem with inheriting the money their ancestors should have received.

Jesus Christ! Why don't you all realize that this is a stupid, insensitive argument? How was coming here as an European immigrant the same as slavery? Were immigrants lynched? Were the killed for knowing how to read? Did they go Jim Crow? The two situations are not the same, get over it. Stop trying to use that as a basis for your bias and bigotry.
Do you think the ancestors of slaves should be given money?

At the time these individuals were sold, slavery was legal. Therefore, even if you get past that fact, the only claims that exist are equitable in nature, which could only be raised by the slaves themselves. To suggest that people 180 years later deserve compensation for work they never did would set a precedent that would turn our courts on their head.

Georgetown profited from the work and sale of their ancestors, who were never paid for their work.
Which was perfectly legal at the time.

Considering that Georgetown is an institution which may not otherwise have survived, and not a person,
I'm not sure why this is relevant?

I don't see anything wrong with their descendants wanting the compensation their ancestors never received.
You don't see a problem with people demanding money from someone for something that happened 150 years ago that was perfectly legal at the time?

Why are people even wasting time with this shite?
So if my great great great grandparents were victims of some shite that once happened, does this mean I can seek reparations?

Possibly. It depends on how you define "profiting off slavery."
Who are those you have determined are profiting off slavery?

The Japanese
The Seminoles
The Chippewas
The Ottawas
The Sioux
The Klamaths
The Alaskan Natives
So why is it so bad to give blacks reparations?

How much are we talking about ?
And will that end government assistance ?

Any reparations the U.S. government has paid has been established either by treaty, which requires the approval of the Senate, or by statute, which requires the approval of both houses of Congress. The courts cannot create a legal theory by which to pay descendants of slaves.

So only blacks use government assistance? Aren't whites the primary user of government assistance by a very large number?

So let me get this right. It is your opinion that the great-great grandson of some farmer who subsequently built a successful real estate business should give you money because your great-great grandfather was a slave at the farm that eventually funded the current day company?
Is that the sum of it?
