Well it’s not too late to start now. I don’t see any westerners being imported into Japan they’re quite homogeneous over there and one of the most prosperous countries in the the world. Wonder why


Looks like you’re full of solutions.

Nope. Most received nothing. The 40 acres and a mule was a hollow promise. BTW, it wasn’t just slavery. After emancipation they were segregated and shut out of meaningful opportunity for over a century. That’s reality.


Reality is the alternative was going back to sub Saharan Africa and dying from cholera at 30 if they were lucky to make it that far.

Meh, tell it to Israelis.

Meanwhile, many of those freedmen who embarked to Liberia, became slaveholders there. The point being, the offer was there. It was declined by choice.

Why should reparations be paid for a U.S.
soldier being killed in battle while defending his. Country? You’re throwing nonsense against a wall hoping it sticks.

Actually, the best form of reparation should be a Proper free education for the children of those descendants. Maybe they can learn to think for themselves after that.

Wow! I didn’t know the Chinese were brought over on slave ships, were considered to be property and labored for no pay. Learn something new everyday.

And every fricking dime should come from the Dim/Groomer/Cultural Marxist portion of society


Every dime should come from the governments of West Africa and descendants of their rival tribes who sold them to the slave traders.

You think they came here on a carnival cruise line? They got paid shite wages for the most dangerous work but actually were skilled labor unlike Sub Saharan Slaves. They weren’t allowed to even become a citizen until the 1940’s.

Still, once they were done, they should have been sent back.

No argument on hard work. But a couple key differences. And they were here by choice .

I hear ya, but we both know that this isn't how the left works. They only spend other people's money.


You hear me and understand the point of the OP but look at the down votes on the OP.

The OP is simply saying saying the Democrat party is the party of slavery and Jim Crow and the vast majority of who claim there is systemic racism and that black Americans deserve reparations are Dim voters.....therefore they are the Americans who should be more than willing to forfeit all they have to make things right .
