re: The next step: demand reparations for all descendants of slaves.....

Pay them and then expel them from the Country never to return.

The funny thing about reparations is you just have to go back one step in the process of slavery and you arrive at the black Africans who enslaved and sold nearly 100% of the Africans sent over hear. The European slavers where middle men. The practice of selling other Africans into slavery was universal among West African tribes. Pretty much all current African Americans are descendent from these same tribes, so if they want to get reparations from the ancestors of those who profited from depriving their own ancestors of freedom, they need look no farther than their neighbor. Pretty much every black person in the us has a slaver for an ancestor

All of which is entirely relevant to the US government's culpability in slavery and Jim Crow.

The problem with them asking the African tribes for reparations will be the fact that the entire continent of Africa is a shite hole. There are no structures built by the indigenous people of Africa that will last through a good rain storm. Mud huts and used sheet tin. Cardboard boxes and old pallets. (Egypt has structures that will last but they are not what most people equate with an African American).

I had a black coworker who once said she was glad that someone put her ancestors in chains because any one living in America is better off that 99.5% of the people living in Africa. She was right. That was back in the early 90's. She died earlier this year at the age of 84.

Slavery was evil. We should erase history and make our current environment like it never happened......

I knew you didn't like black people, but geez

As an Acadiana French Catholic, my family was persecuted by the English Protestants, where's my check?

2 generations of affirmative action is plenty of reparations

For Jim Crow? nah

You will receive a zillion down votes for that post, but it is actually the best solution.

Blacks of today, who actually believe they and their families, are worse off for being brought here, than when their ancestors sold them in to slavery need to go home.
I am so tired of their bullshite that I am willing to pony up and pay for them to receive a one time reparations check and be banned from ever stepping foot in the US again. It should also extend to their descendants to at least the next 3 generations.

Of course I know I am a racist for the above but let us really discuss the point.

No US ancestor of mine ever owned a fricking slave. I actually had ancestors who died during the Civil War on both sides of the conflict and 2 of them died at Antietam. Therefore every time I hear about slavery as an excuse it only makes me want to spit on those who cling top it.
