Every race has been slaves to every race. Black people don't know that though, not because the information is hidden from them, but because they like to feel special. My god...just sick of it. Open a history book, black community, you're far from special when it comes to slavery or anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Reparations would involve the federal government’s acknowledgment of the ongoing legacy of slavery and discrimination and providing payment to those affected. Policy experts say it could cost several trillion dollars. How do you prove or know someone has been affected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I don't get how a Civil War because our country couldn't come to a peaceful resolution on the idea that owning people was bad in any way pays those people that were enslaved. On the other hand I can't see a realistic way to go about it since if we're going to be paying back groups of people our nation has wronged in it's history we'll likely run out of money paying Native Americans long before we get to African Americans.

MakeBuffaloGreatAgain Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) I thought the Great Depression kinda evened the playing field for 99% of the population. I know my grandpa had a full sack of potatoes to pass down to my dad, which he turned into 15,000 dollars of debt handed down to me to pay. This white privilege rules! I wonder what I can give my children because of my whiteness! Edited February 22, 2019 by MakeBuffaloGreatAgain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much nonsense in this that I don’t know where to begin. If blacks want reparations I suggest they do some digging and seek them in Africa.
