Zone1 For people now 60+, will we be forced to pay reparations in our lifetimes?

Another common racist retort denying culpability of whites in the slave trade

Just like the Irish, Italians and Germans had to start their own businesses or unions because those here before them wouldn't hire them.

Not at all. You have basically made a claim that the heirs of slave traders be compensated.

So make the argument why they also deserve reparations

Then paying for wrongs is one way to make us stronger.

We pay wrongs to the people who are directly wronged. We don’t take from those who did not wrong to give to those who experienced no wrong.

 

[HeyNorm]

Those slaves are still not paid.

Yep, so the heirs of the American slave benefitted even more!

Thanks.

Typical racist retort
You are better off being a slave, beaten, having your children sold out from under you than living free in the Jungle

And boom… out with the raaaaaxist! accusation. I never said one is better off being a slave than living in the jungle.

It is an obvious fact that America is far more developed than Africa, and that blacks born here rather than there enjoy a superior lifestyle. Blacks here, today, are better off than if the whole thing never happened.

When did you attack the Native American Indians and make them move onto their own sovereign nations which you pay for?

Does anybody notice the pattern that Liberals never know the facts and context of anything they "discuss"?

Why were the Native Americans always warring with each other just like the Europeans were?

Which still doesn't pay the bill owed.

 

[Lisa558]

That has nothing to do with what happened over the course of history one hundred and fifty to three hundred years ago.

What it has to do with is showing that giving special favors and benefits to people based on skin color is not only unfair, but comes at a cost.

 

[Moonglow]

Because they are humans just like your bunch who war on people.

No bill is owed. Find me a living slave, and a living slave owner, and THAT bill needs to be paid.

Then why did the whites do it in the USA?

When the original person dies that debt owed to them is due to their heirs. Just like when you die.

They made their destiny just like everyone else.

You don’t pay a bill with a credit balance.

In your case, Racist is an appropriate label for your claims
Your posts are not just borderline racist, but offensively so
