The current outrage over Confederate statues is being used as a reminder about the tragic period of slavery in the U.S. and is just a lead up to a renewed push for reparations for all "descendants of slaves." The only way to make amends for slavery is to pay off people who have never been slaves.
Ok and then it will be over and never brought up again? At this point, it that would get us a totally clean slate then I'm all for it. Obviously it won't but that's another issue.

While slavery is the biggest black eye on this country IMO and may very well eventually lead to its undoing, could there have been a better situation for the descendants of slaves?
Living in Africa or living in the US. Which would you choose? This is a harsh reality I rarely see acknowledged.
As far as reparations go, it's an impossible task. Let's look at the per capita disproportionate use of an entitlements and call it day, folks.

Reparations will never happen. Never. If it's any consolation let them be angry for the rest of their lives and futilely call for reparations, because there is no way the government will ever sign off on some blank check based on ethnicity.

This is so ridiculous. So would this come out of our taxes paid or will they raise taxes to be used to pay out? Stupid.... No one today had anything to do with what happened during slavery and/or the civil war, regardless of what their ancestors owned, did or where their ancestors resided, etc.
What about those of us whose ancestors came to America after slavery and the civil war? My ancestors, from both sides, immigrated here bw 1900-1920 from Eastern Europe. They came here learned the language, worked in the coal mines in eastern PA and OH. So how am I or others with similar ancestry, responsible for any of this?
Common sense is missing here....

Blacks have already gotten reparation in the form of Affirmative Action for 50 years.

One of my grandmother's ancestors married a former slave...I'm gon' be rich!!!

Dont we already pay reparations with food stamps, government housing, Obama phones, free child care, public transportation, free college, affirmative action?

And when they're broke after a week of buying stupid shite they don't need, they'll demand more. It is never ending.

It's a little late for reparations, they need to nip that in the bud

I've got proof that our family did not own slaves. Poor rice farmers in Mermentau from one side..and Cherokee Indian from the other side. Slaves typically took the last names of their former owners...there are no heritage AA families that have the same last name as I do. Only recently have they started having it due to marriage and adoption.

Let's get the history erased first.
Then when they ask for reparations you can answer:
Reparations, for what?

Is the irony that blacks in general were better off as slaves lost on everyone? No , I'm not saying that blacks should still be slaves, I am simply saying that blacks have either destroyed themselves or let themselves be destroyed since slavery ended. You read a history book and family used to be important to nearly all blacks, slaves would literally risk death to learn to read, etc etc..... Now.............

If they really want to come take anything from me or anyone else to pay off people who I don't know and will never know, they will be in for a quite a fight.

Well I've got Native American blood on both sides of the family, so where can I sign up for my reparations?
One drop rule applied to whitey.
If you have one drop of white blood/DNA then you need to forfeit 90+ % of your industry while averting your eyes, chanting mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, and flogging yourself like a flagellant!

Might as well skip that step and go straight to "kill whitey"
