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.
Send them back where they came from with no money. Just a free ride back to the land they know so well. See how that works for you!

I agree Donald G
Genius college indoctrination professor could start collecting his reparations by filing a claim first against the descendants of those of his own race who lived in Africa during the slave trading days who went into the jungles and kidnapped their own people first, then sold them to the white slave traders. The white slave traders knew it was too dangerous to go into the jungles themselves but they quickly found out their were some within that same race who would do the dirty work for them for the money. Why is it these freeloading want something for nothing indoctrinated never want to tell the whole truth. maybe some of his ancestors were the ones kidnapping their own people.Hey, he could start a family feud if he wants to dig into history enough.
I owe you nothing. Go did up those dead people who did that 200 years ago. Make them pay
We gave it to Obama, go see him for your portion !
