$350,000 to every black descendant of slavery. No prob - it's not even as much as our national debt, right? We can do it.

Let me make sure I have this right ... we collectively, people who have never owned slaves, are supposed to pay billions in reparations to people who have never been slaves?
Yeah, fuck that... |

Calls for reparations started with MLK, fifty years ago.
Even they don't take it seriously. |

If countries started paying out to ethnic groups for the wrongs other ethnic groups had done to their ancestors in the past the money would never stop changing hands.

Well in today's world we can all identify as decedents from slaves.

raparations What Rappers get for messing around with women that aren't theirs to mess around with.  Personally, I think that the only slave reparation should a one way ticket back to Africa.

What if the person isn't all black, like Obama or any other light skinned colored person? Will it be a prorated scale? Only pure bred African descendants should get the full amount if this passes. Everybody else gets lesser settlements. IMHO

In fact, Obama's ancestors on his father's side were the ones that caught Blacks in Africa and put them into slavery.

That would mean that there would be a balance owed for all the preferential programs that have existed since the 60's. ouch. Would come to more than 350,000.00 each.

$350,00 to every slave, or to be divided amongst their living heirs on a per stirpes basis.

They dont use their money for anything except trying to destroy the nation that allowed them to prosper and keep others from attaining wealth of their own. |
