"saying companies that profited from the historic slave trade should consider paying reparations"


Well, I personally don't have a problem with this, but shareholders will as the board should be looking after shareholders. Also, I have doubts that many corporations even exist or were involved in the slavery even exist anymore.

So only companies that have been in business for 155+ years?


Not many, and probably almost none involved in the slave trade.

He was born to two doctors, went to cornell, and is married to a white playboy model. I don't think he has the credentials to speak on slavery just cause his mom took him to a MLK speech when he was a baby.

Fast track a bill in Congress which states that everyone who was a slave in this country should receive reparations. Problem solved.

Kamala Harris, Beto, and Blumenthal can go first. It's well documented those 3 politicians are descendants of slave owners.

My ancestors came over as indentured servants.

Yes. Let's pay people money who don't know the name of their daddy much less their great great granddaddy. If Trump wins re-election I'd be happy if the first thing he says is frick reparations, frick these protesters, and frick the left, it ends now
