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.
all of the tax money they have cost us in welfare im sure we are pretty much paid up anyway………so should we stop welfare now?
Why do blacks who are supposed to be intelligent really say & do stupid things? I think the average black person is the one with the real smarts and these are just well groomed idiots!
Maybe a return to Africa will be simple.
should have left them in the cotton fields ,from the looks of it???
Most idiotic mindset
We will need to pay in lead you have squandered all the money on welfare
BLACKS TRYING TO START A WAR …WE OWE THEM NOTHING !
Forty trillion in bullets if that how u want to think
Go to work & earn your own money. I don’t owe you 1 cent. I have worked for every thing I got.. No one gave me anything.. I never owned a slave & you have never been a slave. What ever happen in the past none of us had nothing to do with it. There is not one slave still living. . If you want money from your ancestors go back to Africa & ask them for the money they are the ones that sold your ancestors. Not any of us.
Don’t hold your breathe…
