And I have never alleged there is some legal "obligation" to pay. It's simply the correct moral action.
So where's the affirmative action reparations for white folks?

Give each African American family unit that can prove they had slave ancestors 40 acres of public land (Montana/Wyoming/Alaska) and a mule as Sherman promised.

How would you ever find out who this actually applies to?

Exactly, what he is suggesting is completely bonkers, even worst than the reparations idiots.

We've all had bad stuff happen to our ancestors and ourselves for that matter. Including being exiled from Nova Scotia while having all land and titles stripped away while thousands died from the conditions during and after the Great Expulsion.
I/we have never been compensated and we certainly were "set back" decades by this atrocity.
Should we all be paid reparations for our hardships?
And if so does everyone globally have a built in excuse for their failures?
And who is going to pay these reparations to everyone globally when they find crimes against their ancestors?
Serious questions I need answered before I agree to pay 1 group anything for their reparations.

Nothing. You get to pay, your ancestors commander is the one who made broken promises

You guys are sitting here trying to apply logic to a statement that at its true heart is completely illogical.

My grandmother, great grandmother, great great grandmother, great great great grandmother, great great great great grandmother, etc. couldn't join the military or most federal service jobs... so any benefits and compensation they would have received... I want with interest.
Oh by the way, most of them couldn't vote so... even though they received no damages, lets just arbitrarily assign a figure for the non-damage.
What this guy wants is exactly what I said they are asking for, a gift.

and it wouldn't correct the "perceived" problem even if it was done.

Sorry, if tearing down statues means erasing our history, then it means it never happened.

Who's paying for all that "shite?"
Posted on 6/24/20 at 3:46 pm to Allthatfades
I’d be ok with it as long as those responsible pay for it. The Democrats started and supported slavery, Jim Crow, and the KKK. Let that filthy party and those that vote and support the Democrat party foot the bill.

You know reparations are the endgame.
