I suppose we should accept that any white should be expected to allow "guilt" to compel them to pay any black just for being black. Me, I'm not buying that.Which ones? Far more blacks have immigrated here one their own than were brought over as slaves. So not all blacks deserve to get paid. If one of your relatives was a free Northerner they don't deserve to get paid. Any white people in your family tree? You shouldn't get paid anything for them, according to you you would owe some money for that.Black people.Who should be paid? What criteria do you suggest for potential recipients of such tax-payer funded largesse?Since the entire country benefited from slavery I disagree. The country should pay. Thats like saying only the military should have paid back the Japanese.Back wages owed to the black people who earned them. Hey, I have no problem with forcing anyone who owned slaves to pay into a fund to be used to compensate anyone who was held as a slave, based on the minimum wage at the time, or any common wages that would have been paid to non-slave employees. That would be fair. File a case against the family (families) you claim held your long-lost relatives as slaves. We have the legal system. Otherwise, it's time to get over it and move on.That only works if the money is never paid back which I pointed out is usually a one off. Besides white people arent the only ones that pay SS. Youre way off base talking about an issue that has nothing to do with back wages owed Black people.
I dont have to get over anything. You asked me about it. I was just telling you.
