I wonder if any African slaves sold to the US were, at some point in the past, slavers themselves. Maybe the 5 giga-trillion owed them should be passed on to the families they sold into slavery?

you do know Kunte Kinte and Roots was 100% a work of fiction?

why aren't the tribes in African that first took the "slaves" as slaves and sold them to slave traders not on the hook for financial reparations?

have you ever done a thorough root cause analysis?

Of course none of it makes sense. The sad part is a shitload of black people in that state actually think it's going to happen.

And those same people should get into Harvard according to the skyscreamers today

But they still won't be able to vote since they don't know how/where to get a valid ID...coupled with the rampant voter suppression inflicted upon them.

There were black slave owners.

The war on drugs wasn't what fricked up the black community. The endless stream of drugs that flowed into black communities.....fricked up black communities.

No dipshit. It means you are hitting the "submit" more than once on the same post in too quickly a manner.

that is literally what affirmative action and minority scholarships were. that was the reparations. given preferential treatment for job opportunities and free college was the governments way of paying back without actually giving away money. but like a lot of things, eventually it's "not enough" and more is demanded.

An advisory group in San Francisco recommended that qualifying Black adults receive a $5 million lump-sum, guaranteed annual income of at least $97,000 and personal debt forgiveness

Absolutely incorrect. I have traced my lineage back to the 1600’s and not one ancestor was connected to slavery in any way.

Go study history. All civilizations and cultures have had a turn at being slaves. The Greeks gave us democracy and they became slaves to the Roman Empire.

The Roman empire fell and parts of its empire became slaves.

In the course of his Gallic Wars, Julius Caesar invaded Britain twice: in 55 and 54 BC.

Caesar eventually penetrated into Middlesex and crossed the Thames, forcing the British warlord Cassivellaunus to surrender as a tributary to Rome and setting up Mandubracius of the Trinovantes as client king.

The 1600's lineage made me laugh. I'm looking at the big picture of all mankind.

The Egyptians enslaved the Jews.

Vikings attacked and conquered and disseminated their enslaving bloodline to Britain and the surrounding territories.

Britannia had tree worshipping rock circle tribes killing and enslaving each other.

African tribes historically killed and enslaved each other as well as the Native American Indians.

The point is, no one owes anyone for what is a bloody, violent, killing, and enslaving world history.

Everyone has the mark of Cain. Study history and learn from it. A modern society should not have slavery. Anyone tracing back slave lineage and wanted money needs to get in line with everyone.
