The ones who freed you were not the same ones who threw you in a cage.625,000 men died fighting the civil war, almost all were white. More than half of them were Union soldiers. These men gave their lives and the beneficiaries of their sacrifice were slaves, who gained their freedom as a result. Should they not be required to pay reparations to the descendants of those men who gave their lives so that blacks could enjoy the freedom and prosperity they enjoy in today's society?
Sure thing, ya dipshit! While we're at it, can we throw you in a cage, release you, then demand to be paid for the favor?
Same goes for blacks who want reparations.The ones who freed you were not the same ones who threw you in a cage.Sure thing, ya dipshit! While we're at it, can we throw you in a cage, release you, then demand to be paid for the favor?
I can't believe I'm going to continue this idiotic conversation... But... Psst... The ones that freed you are not the same ones who would receive the reparations. They're all dead.

Well, maybe if enough people agree on the subject they might be able to string this one out as much as anything the left is constantly harping about.
I seriously doubt it though. The people that could probably never would.
It's an interesting thought though.
There's nothing "interesting" about it.
Slavery was a crime of epic proportions. It should have never happened in the first place. And Certainly not for over a century in a country that purports to be the gold standard in terms of Human Rights. Europe was already done with it for quite some time.
If anything, the slaves should have been compensated for all of that..and for a time there was legislation that was making it's way through congress to do exactly that.
However, the focus shifted to reconstruction and while that was important, it also allowed for the racists to get a foothold back into politics. Hence Jim Crow and a plethora of abuses that followed the civil war.
Racist Democrats. Jim Crow laws went into effect in 1876 only because enough Democrats won office during and after reconstruction. Seems to me Democrats owe reparations to blacks.
BS. I would never accept blood money. There isn't enough gold in Fort Knox to cover the debt owed. So I forgive it. Keep it.Reparations should not be paid to anyone.
This isn't a serious issue.
You are wrong Black people need to be paid.This country paid the Japs,native americans.So white you need to pay,pay,pay and pay some more.For all the atrocities you performed against Black people.
Democrats are still buying African/Americans as slaves today through welfare.625,000 men died fighting the civil war, almost all were white. More than half of them were Union soldiers. These men gave their lives and the beneficiaries of their sacrifice were slaves, who gained their freedom as a result.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Wait for it. They had no business buying Africans as slaves in the first place.

All those men were volunteers. saw the link showing that men were drafted, so I learned something.
And no one owes anyone anything from that time. turth
No black alive knows anyone that knew someone that was a slave truth
so what's moronic?

You're missing the point. It doesn't matter if it will pass or not, the point is that there are those who are asking for reparations.Agreed, but that didn't stop John Conyers from seeking reparations for slavery.
Tracing Center | Rep. John Conyers re-introduces H.R. 40 on reparations for slavery and discrimination
Lol! Conyers introduced this bill for the first time in 1989, and it still has not been passed into law.
Mr. Conyers is now 84 years old, and it dos not appear to be likely that he will have many more chances to try. And no one appears to be stepping forward to carry on.
Dead issue, being pushed by ONE soon to be dead man, and swallowed hook line and sinker by an organization that increases membership by inciting paranoia.
The fact is that black people sold other black people into slavery, *and white people fought and died to free them. Deal with it.
White people wouldn't have been buying if black people hadn't been selling.The fact is that black people sold other black people into slavery, *and white people fought and died to free them. Deal with it.
You left out the part about; * white people buying , enslaving, and creating a whole bunch of industries by enslaving them.

So what if someone is asking for reparations, they have a right to do so, it doesn't mean that it's going to happen. This "the Blacks want reparations" is a bunch of crap propagated by bigots who have a racial chip on their shoulders.

Allow me to translate that from buffoon into human;
dammit, he's right, but I'm a coward, not a man, so I'll insult him.
John Kerry on buffoon
