What about my great, great, great grandfather and his 5 brothers, 3 of which lost legs and ultimately their lives due to confederate cannon fire. What about them? This is so fricked. Reparations has got to be the dumbest idea ever put forth in this country. It cheapens their sacrifice. This shite goes through, and I’m out...whatever that means, I don’t know, but I’m done with this shite.

What about my forefathers who lost their land and their legal chattel due to the illegal actions of a tyrant President Lincoln. It's despicable.

I say we should take a look at reparations. But, let's look at all the facts.

If reparations are to be given, I, as a white man, want a fully nonrefundable credit for the absurdly disproportionate amount of welfare, food stamps, and other benefits they've received since 1965, as well as a refundable credit for the value of the institutional racism they've have enacted in the form of affirmative action that they have benefited from.

When all the math is done, please let me know where I, as a white man, can go pick up my check.

750000 men killed.

1.6 million casualties.

450000 dead from the north.

That should suffice

The taxpayer has pumped trillions into all kinds of minority/underprivileged programs and ideas and it has clearly shown that no amount of money can overcome cultural obstacles.

The war on drugs, the war on poverty, welfare, affirmative action. All of these failed programs cost the US trillions.

I'm sorry that your Yankee-Boy forefathers died for nothing, Son.

I really am! I truly wish that their sacrifices meant something in 2021 USA. It's sad that they don't.

But that is not reparations. The people that had slaves are gone and the slaves themselves are gone.

The United States government generally wasn't part of the slave trade or use of slaves, although there evidence there was some ships built which were constructed by slaves via contract in part.

No reparations are owed from the People, nor the entity the United States.

Well, my great great great grandfather on my grandmother’s side was in an confederate artillery division, so one side of my family was busy killing the other side.

Am I exempt from contributing? All of my ancestors came to America after the 1880's.

You should be, sadly, you won’t. Here, grab a rope and help white America pull to the 18th place podium.

I thought everyone knew that America would be an undeveloped third world country were it not built by african americans while all the white people sat back in their spacious plantations drinking mint julips

Losing a war itself is not "reparations", no matter what you think of reparations. e.g. When the Allies defeated Germany in WW1, they didn't just leave it at that. Check out the so-called "war guilt" clause from the Versailles Treaty.

And yet here you are - more upset at Lincoln than at your traitorous "forefathers" and their loss of their "legal chattel".

I have no way of checking the math but The Heritage Foundation says inflation adjusted; $22 trillion.

Setting aside life-altering injuries, 400k Union soldiers DIED in the Civil War, to free 4 million slaves. That is one White life ENDED for every 10 Black slaves freed.

Yeah, any debt was paid by 1865.

Whether you want to or not, you have to include who the union killed.

Reparations are being sought based off race and thus all whites should be included.

The white race suffered immense casualties in the United States over the issue of slavery.
