Reparations for African-Americans who endured 200-plus years of slavery in America I'm all for paying those 200 years and older.

I think that liberals should give money to a reparations fund. Then they won’t have to feel guilty about this subject.

The answer is no. You want it, you earn it like everybody else. God bless America.

I’m all for reparations for US Military Vets. Including the ones in Compton.

That’s where they’re having the Compton Reparations Party. I figured it would only apply to eligible residents of that city.
It’s like a raffle; you must be present to win.

Piece of cake, settle with the two hundred year old person.
Shouldn’t be too hard to find them, right?

200-plus years of slavery in America ..In America..But in the US?? 1865 - 1776 = 89 years.
Also I'm 51 now and I've been working and paying taxes since I was 13. Since 1/3rd of my pay goes to taxes, that's 4 months out of the year I work for nothing. 4 months x 38 years = 152 months which equals 12.6 years. 12 years a slave. I WANT MY REPARATIONS!

I admit it...my ancestors did own slaves.
But I'm sure if they had known that I would frown upon it now, they would have never been involved in it.
Also, I have searched all my personal documents and I cannot find one instance of anything that I have now being a result of them owning said slaves.
I made my own way.
You whiners need to make your own way.
It's about time, doncha think?
From my cold dead hands.
And I do not make that statement lightly or in jest.

I remember when Compton was a respectable, nice city. Yes, I am that old.

My ancestors did
NOT own slaves. But at least one of them
volunteered to risk his life for four years on the bloodiest battlefields of the Civil War to free them.
I could demand my reparations from American blacks for the hardships this caused my family back in Watertown, Wisconsin, but I'm willing to call it even.

Another event that keeps the Negro man down and poor dreaming he will
not have to bother working if he can just hang on for a little bit longer
for the dream of free money. Not the dream MLK was talking about folks.
Waiting for that payout. Never going to happen, those Black leaders will
clear the bank before 0.01% even hits the streets. And you'll get to
see their Cadillac taillights driving away.

There were blacks in the south who owned slaves.
Will their ancestors get reparations too?

There have been many Pigford type schemes. When I was a kid in the 60s a Federal Judge ordered the government to pay all Blacks who were not given jobs at Eglin AFB because they were Black.
The standard of proof? There was none except I guess you had to be Black. All you had to do was tell them that you wanted to work but never applied because you knew they would turn you down for being Black.
In simple terms, any Black person could get money just for the asking.
