African or American ,pick one but not both
What about the freed blacks that had slaves themselves?
What about blacks who also have white ancestors? Do they pay reparations to themselves? And what about the blacks in America that owned slaves.....do they have to pay up? And what about the whites who owned no slaves?
LOL!
They will discover they were sold into slavery by their own families!
Try it.
CW-II is way overdue.
What, you mean reparations from the African tribes who kidnapped and sold your ancestors? Or the Muslim tribes who are still at it today? Hmmmm???
If DNA shows them to be 50% white, do they have to pay reparations to themselves?
Don’t give a crap where their ancestors came from 4+ generations ago. We owe present day black people absolutely nothing beyond what we owe any other human being.
They want money?
Here’s an idea.....WORK for it!
What about Africans who came here and were never slaves?
I did not own any slaves and I ain't in the least responsible for what my ancestors did or did not do.
Keep it up with this reparation crap and we'll see CWII real quick.
Not one damned penny.
Pull up your stinking pants and get a job.
reperspirations
Who'da thunk it.
More strange stories everyday.
Next we'll hear that Trump has won Iowa.
What about descendants of Union Soldiers killed in battle? They should get it all.
Why not take the money from Africa? The slaves were captured by the kings of West Africa to get rid of their tribal competition. I’ve seen the palace of the Dabomey Kings in Benin. His throne had the skulls of captured kings embedded in it.
Or the slave traders, many of which were Muslim. The slaves went many places, not just America.
NatGeo has spent the last 20 years tracing mankinds ancestors back to the “scientific Adam and Eve” using human DNA samples from worldwide populations. Every human alive on the planet today has DNA that can be traced back to a scientific Adam and Eve who lived in east Africa about 100,000 years ago. I sent them a cheek swab and can now see how my ancestors migrated from Africa to what is now Germany. I am going to get in line for my reperations. Thanks for posting the article.
OMG! Reparations to decedents who had relatives as slaves? Wow, that means just about everyone. It should be reparations for all of us, dating back to 3000 BC. Make everyone happy, free reparations for all. Anyone who owned a slave should pay up now.
Good. Go after the mussies that sold you into slavery and also England who brought you over.
***tinfoilhat*** notice these DNA sites all over the place these days. Wanna bet gov has huge DNA collection site now a days? has been another goal for the them.
How about the CiC DNA? what would we find about him?
No reparations without re-Patriation. You want the money “just because”— well then, go back where you are “from” so to speak. NO? Why not— aren’t you asking to be compensated for having ancestors taken from there and now you haven’t grown up where they were from?
