Reparations should come from Islam that took the slaves,
and STILL takes slaves with the help of
Obola and the docile, enabling
EXEMPT US Congress, especially the
proslavery DNC and RINOs such as McCain.

Most of the industrialization in the US before 1865 was in the North, and that was also true for the period after the Civil War. It wasn’t black slaves who were working in the steel mills up North but immigrants from Europe. And the industrialization of Britain, Germany, and other European countries was done with the labor of white people.

Whites who lived and worked like slaves. They got their freedom or survival from famine in their home countries at the cost of factory labor.

African slaves were cared for and protected as valuable property while their white counterparts died from starvation and injury.

Full reparations would be to return them to Africa. I support full and complete reparations

When will whites get reparations for the trillions of dollars wasted on the black community for “programs”, welfare, education, crime-prevention, and everything else the gov’t funds to keep them afloat?

Barrack Hussein Obama is the very embodiment of any and all "reparations" "due" the American Black Community as being paid in full, with interest.

If there could possibly be any more meaningful end-of-discussion form of "reparation" beyond that immeasurable debt already paid by America's good people in The Civil War, one would have to be a monster either to conceive of or request it. There is surely nothing left that we owe anybody, especially to those already gifted with the freedom to become whatever they wish, who have taken that gift and spat upon it with hatred in their hearts.

Nontheless, if there yet remained some vestige of a ghost of debt America still owed her Black community, it has been paid in full a thousand times over with this petulant, puffed-up poppinjay playing President.

IMHO

Interesting that the blacks are a "community" when it comes to getting stuff, but are always to be considered as individuals when it comes to wrongdoing, while whites are to be treated as just the opposite - responsible as individuals for getting, always to be punished collectively.

Didn’t the United States buy land in Africa, call it Liberia, and gift it to the freed slaves?

Nomenclature and descriptors notwithstanding, what did you think of the point that was made? Just for my own curiosity.
