It is time for Africa, thirty million of whose sons and daughters had their freedoms curtailed and sold into slavery, to also receive reparations



Wait... They have a life span of over 200 yrs?

This makes no sense. Those countries were enriched by selling their sons and daughters willingly to us.

Didn’t HRC recent have a meeting with the President of Ghana? Surely she isn’t behind this ridiculous idea, right? Never would a corrupt Democrat be behind something so stupid.

Pound sand. They themselves were just as guilty as anyone in slavery including selling them, maintaining them. At least those they didn’t kill outright

Africa: Sells us slaves.

Also Africa: "You owe us reparations for buying our slaves."

10k years of recorded human life.

America is the only country to do harm to another county/continent. The world is an amazingly peaceful place outside of these 50 states.

Look, I'm not a racist, but what is it about black people and demanding free money?

No. Go get a job, freeloaders.

It's OK. Let's just keep printing dollars until the dollar is worth what 5 cents was in 1990.

So, the descendants of the people who SOLD the slaves are demanding "restitution" from the descendants of those who purchased their "product?"

Maybe Americans should demand a refund instead.

Can't wait to see them go after Islamic countries in the Persian Gulf and Middle East for their participation.


OH and btw to prevent their African slaves from reproducing and causing "impurities" in their promised land they forcibly castrated the males.

Let's see Ghanaians speak out on that

How about we just ask the decedents to voluntarily return. If no volunteers, game over.
