The many billions given to Africa in aid, by Britain, the US, France and other one time slave holders more than wipe out any notional 'reparations'.
What next? 'Reparations' demanded from Danes and Norwegians for all those raped women, stolen cows, murdered monks that the Vikings were responsible for?
The foreign aid given to Africa didn't then get divied up to American descendents of slavery.
Stop dodging my post punk!
Prove your kidnapping case!
Thanks Sunni for the idea (sorta) re: 40 acres and a mule.

We kidnapped them, enslaved them, should pay backwages. Fair's fair.

I'm not dodging your question, I'm ignoring it as I'd sooner debate the color of the sky.
The 40 acres was a military decree after the Civil War when the pop was much lower. Was later overturned by another military official.

Not sure how this would work out. If you take the 2010 census, there are 38,929,319 African Americans in the States. Giving each 40 acres would equal out to 1,557,172,760 acres. Which comes out to 2,433,082 sq. miles. The United States is around 3,794,000 sq. miles. Would all other ethnicities have to move out? Maybe head North?

Technically the slaves were captured by other black people. Trivialities aside, yes, if any one is alive today who was a slave they should get back wages.

You're assuming every black person are descendants of slaves. And you would be wrong.

Exactly. Any surviving slaves I would agree deserve compensation.

I wasn't sure what Delta4Embassy was getting at with this thread, if he meant that reparations should be given to the descedents or should have been given after the civil war. Reparations are impossible today and Gen. Sherman never had the authority to issue Order no. 15 in the first place.
yeah because anyone who see blacks as equal must hate black people huh?
Gee why cant you convince black people with such a great argument huh?
How about THIS?
Every black child who can get a certain grade average gets free college?
