Alot of people saying “why should i have to pay” but you paid them for the
japanese americans and also the native americans and are continuing to do
so…so why not african americans…what was done to blacks was wrong and
so the US govt should make a formal apology and pay..even though slavery
ended a long time ago blacks didnt get equal rights til the late
60’s..thats only 30 to 40 yrs ago people..whites til this day are still
benefiting from slavery so cut the BS..
The last thing we want is the devalued American dollar-land and free
education up to a masters
Many (not all)of these white men are soo evil with their egotistic greedy
mentality they rob the world of its original history and knowlege enslave
their own people take land from the native Americans and go on rape and
killing sprees then tourture african slaves and develope manipulative
mentality to trick slaved into indusing hate on their own kind and trick
Africans throw Monetary SYSTEMS t o enslave they own ppl and continue to
develope oppressive systems to this day that will only excell coloreds or
ethnics that pan more to there white mentality and only glamorize coloreds
that carry out THIER corrupt aggendas and still think a couple programs and
some calculations and sorrys are gonna fix it NO ! THATS ENOUGH OF THRIR
DECEPTION DONT TRUST MOST OF THEM HISTORY REAPETS ITSELF And many ethnic
groups are ignorant to the fact that knowledge is necessary to free the
mind and rise up !!!
I spat my drink across the room when I heard 5-10 trillion dollars. Then I
did it again when I heard 77 trillion. If we go for the figure of 10
trillion, that is an estimated $152,000 per black person! This guy can’t be
for real.
Why should all Americans pay for African Americans oppression? However, I
do feel that some sort of recognition is necessary, as they provided
tremendous amounts of work and money for America. First off, my parents are
from Portugal and England and they haven’t been in America more then 40
years. They left their homeland to start a new life and family. This
situation is very similar to that of the slaves, and my parents didn’t get
any money, so why should people who never had slaves or anything to do with
slavery be held accountable for it?? The biggest mistake people make in
life is thinking they’re owed recognition, if you want something do like
every European immigrant and WORK for it.
My ancestors came to this country with nothing and they grew into a high
functioning society. Why should I have to help a group of people that
can’t stand up on their own two feet? I understand why African Americans
want to be repaired for years of free labor, but one also has to pose the
question, why haven’t you gotten past an incident that occurred over 200
years ago? I agree that what white Americans put Africans through is very
wrong but at the end of the day this is in the past.
you tube shows just how evil soooooo many non blacks really are in this day
in age.
We should at least get land back! Notice I said back because some black
people already had property and tools until it was taken from them. Black
people have been driven mad by this racists society and then blamed for
symptoms of a sickness that was contracted over 150 years ago.
Get native Americans paid and blacks shall be paid lol simple as that.
Everyone forgets us. Except Dave chapell and fluffy. No BS only way to go
about it.
black people need to forgive white people for slavery already and get on
with their lives. they can’t get ahead because they’ve got a huge victim
complex.
5 to 10 trillion dollars omg what ignorant stupid fuck ! oh yea black were
gonna give you 5 to 10 trillion dollars ! how much would we owe you after
we take our portion back for hud housing,welfare,taniff and food stamps !
we don’t owe shit especially white people like me that didn’t even have
family in this fucking country until well after the civilwar ! man you all
can kiss my white hairy if you think i am giving you one fucking dime ! how
your people went from such beaiutful culture to bunch of lazy ass victim
playing broke dick bitches ! man no one owes you a goddamn thing except
yourselves grow the fuck up and quit playing that poor me poor me victim
panzy ass bitch shit !
okay heres my answer to giving your people reparations ! were gonna keep it
fair check this shit out ! most of America didn’t own slaves. basically
what i am talking about is the confederacy we will make those states
responsible for paying reparations ! another thing you want money for
something you relatives went through. fine then what i suggest is we
reprint the confederacy money. they were the people that owned your
relatives so it should be there money that is given to you ! LMAFO that
means once you receive your reparations no more welfare no more fucking
food stamps no more off white people having to be politically correct ! oh
yea reprinted confederacy money wouldn’t be worth wiping your ass with !
I am a white guy. VERY white! In fact my last name is perhaps the most
famous of all the southern Confederacy. I have the Last Will and Testament
of one of my ancestors, showing the passing on of a particular “kitchen
nigger bitch” to his progeny. These are not my words, so you can’t call me
a racist.
I believe I am due reparations for both slavery and it’s abolition. You
see, not only did I lose vast sums of inheritance that I would have
gleaned if indeed my ancestors had kept this source of cheap labor, but
also, my ancestors had grown dependent upon this labor as well. The loss
of it affected them deeply, leading to a inherited depression. To this
day, I am not happy unless I have a black man to oppress. So much for my
Constitutional Right to the “pursuit of happiness”. I figure I am owed a
million dollars, but I will accept three fifths of that.
bLv!!!! reparations….bLk power riches!!!!

Reparations For Slavery To African-Americans (1/3)
how origional
It must have felt like the weight of the world coming off of your shoulders
while you were typing that non surprising emotion filled response. I
present facts, you expose your vagina. That racist train is NEVER late. How
old are you? Picking cotton? Shining shoes? Next you’ll be telling me to
stick to dancing at the Savoy? I bet your name’s some OLD racists shit like
Zebediah, or Ezekiel. Dude, you just proved @scdevon’s intelligence curve
comment to be shit. For that, I thank you.
@bubbiz99 ,First off how can anyone with a brain deny the advantage of FREE
LABOR in building a national economy?? When you don’t have to PAY your
workers, obviously profits will be increased substantially. Second off, 99%
were poor as black slaves? Where did you get this figure? I don’t believe
it is accurate.The southern states were the wealthiest in the nation pre
Civil War. Third, some were poor but they were still considered HUMAN
unlike blacks who were called 3/5 human and had NO rights.
@slideharp1 No problem. I hate it when I hear this argument.
Africans were enslaving each other for a long time before the colonial
powers showed up. It was African slave owners who sold their own slaves to
the white slave traders. Africa is the place where slavery STILL thrives,
and OF COURSE…It’s because of evil white people. HAHAHAHA How pathetic
their blame game has become. White guilt voted in a black man to the
highest office they have to give, and what did those Americans get for it?
hope and change. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
