There’s a growing demand coming from the fringe — well, let’s hope it’s the fringe — demanding reparations for sufferings caused by slavery in America as well as for the sufferings, primarily of African-Americans, in the years since its abolition. It’s a radical idea that cannot be supported economically or ideologically.
Before going further, it must be stated emphatically that the practice of slavery is abhorrent. That it occurred in America is a stain on our history. That it occurred throughout the world for millennia, is a stain on humanity. No amount of words will remove the fact that this inhumane practice has been part of the human condition. Those who worked for its abolition deserve our admiration and gratitude.
However, demands for trillions of dollars in reparations to the descendants of those who suffered under slavery in America in not supportable. More on page two.
First : you must prove you actually a descendent of a slave ? Remember their were black slave owners .
Second : you may only collect reparations from slave owners . Or those who fought to keep slavery alive .
Third : you must pay reparations too all of those who fought ,and died ( and/or were wounded ) freeing you .
Fourth : you must pay reparation to all the cites you burned ,during your riots .
Fifth : you must pay back all the welfare , food stamps , medical , and education . Blacks revived over the years !
That comes to about fifty trillion dollars ?
