Congrats on supporting slavery.
I have zero problems with paying back those eradicated or enslaved members of society whether they're Chinese, black or native Americans

Because you were dropped on the head as a baby you want my tax dollars to support such lunacy?
Where does it end? The absurdity of progressive liberals is mind boggling .

I don’t think anyone has a problem with paying back former slaves. But I think they’re all deceased.
There are still plenty slaves and ex-slaves in places like Nigeria, Congo, Mauritania and Haiti. Those are not shitholes at all either, from what I’ve been told by progressives.

Riddle me this, hasn’t slavery existed for thousands of years? Why are the southern states to blame? Sure we participated, but we didn’t invent slavery.
I’ve never owned slaves, any of you?

I can trace my bloodline back far enough so that, at some point I'll come across an ancestor who was subject to slavery...do I get paid?
Besides, haven't blacks already been compensated through entitlement programs?

Didn't they already decide that any descendants of the affected slaves can go to GU for free?
A free private a university education is a great opportunity.
They offered free tuition to GW, if the applicant was qualified for admission. They may have also relaxed admission requirements, but if Lemonjello made a 6 on his ACT and has a 1.2 GPA, that ain't gonna cut it.
The GW272 group's latest bitch was that while the free tuition offer is nice, little Orangejello will need to pay for his own crib, which be expensive in DC. So we'll just take a billion dollars instead.
I guarantee you that if Monday morning the Jesuits held a nationwide press conference to present a gigantic Lotto size Society of Jesus check for $1,000,000,000 payable to GW272, those frickers would waffle and say, "One billion? We meant TEN billion!"
They'll never be satisfied.

Not sure why this seems so hard to understand. No one of working age today in America was personally affected by slavery from the 1700's-1800's.
The people that were affected by this have been dead for multiple generations. No descendant of a slave today has any less options than someone who isn't. In fact with entitlement and discrimination, they have more today.

I would like for any descendant of a slave that came to America to describe in detail exactly what their economic damages are
I’m prefacing this by saying I don’t think anybody owes anybody else a damn thing.
But, if you can’t see why blacks on avg. have less wealth than whites, then you’re being willfully ignorant. Your level of individual wealth is strongly tied to what your parents and grandparents achieved.
Jim Crow set blacks who had made economic progress after slavery back generations. Lands and businesses were taken, community leaders and heads of successful families lynched, progress stifled and snuffed out. a black man couldn’t receive a fair shake in the court of law or society until the 1970’s in the South.
Like I said, I don’t think anybody owes anyone else a damn thing, but to pretend like the not so distant past doesn’t affect the present is very short sighted.

Can’t disagree with most of what you’ve written, however the overwhelming majority of white people haven’t inherited shite from their parents or grandparents..
Do you know what they’ve inherited? Work ethic!
Not to mention an emphasis of taking care of the children they bring into this world.

I am curious is there a population of African people any where in the world with the per capita income, the standard of living and the political freedoms of African Americans???
I can't think of any.
I wonder why that is? Were there any Jim Crow laws in Ghana or Nigeria or Brazil?
IDK just curious.

Ghana and Nigeria have never had a significant non indigenous population. Brazil have had their share of racial strife, but they are a significantly more racially mixed population and frankly I don’t know enough to speak about their racial politics with any authority. But to answer your question, I believe the respective black populations of Canada and the U.K. are more successful per capita.

Exactly! They think all whites inherited acres of land and mineral rights.
There's this one poster in these types of threads that's always bringing that up. Majority of white people didn't inherit shite from their parents. My maternal grandparents were sharecroppers. Furthermore money and land in families can be squandered easily. Just because some white person had grandparents or great grandparents with money and land doesn't mean that it made its way down to them. All it takes is some bad decisions and screw ups and that inheritance is toast.
