I see in a previous article, this guy think gay marriage should be imposed on the Virgin Islands. So, I guess this guy is colonist who wants to impose rich white people’s morals on the Virgin Islands.

Funny how Muslims never get any blame for slavery.

Doofuses, look up Zanzibar just for starters.

Money-grubbing scam.

End of story.

Give the jerks a bag of rice and a loincloth and send ‘em all back to Africa.

700,000 dead Americans paid the ultimate price over slavery. Tens of thousands more gave arms and legs in the same cause.

Reparations have been paid in full in blood and lives.

My figures are for every five slaves freed one white man was slaughtered.

***Everybody with a “smidgen” of black blood gets to own a white slave! ***

DON’T LAUGH! I’ve got several post Civil War cartoons dealing with the FREED MAN’S BUREAU showing the white man slaving away to pay for the indolent black man. I’ve posted these on FR and the mods immediately remove them even though they are from the late 1860s.

Reparations have been paid in blood and treasure many times over.

If we are going tribal I want to bill for today’s murders, assaults, robberies, burglaries, theft, room, board and vandalism.

You guys got paid the first time, fair and square.

You can’t write an addendum to the original contract hundreds of years later....

GFY

Now that I think of it.

You sold us junk goods.

We want a refund.

I’m all for making the Democrats pay reparations for what they did. Republicans, on the other hand, freed the slaves, so we should be exempt. In fact, Republicans should also get reparations from Democrats for the losses they suffered fighting them to free the slaves.

I don’t doubt that the whining from the Caribbean is tied to the fact that tourism is dropping (as everything is due to the economic mess Obama is prolonging). Apparently any time the easy money dries up (including with welfare here), it brings out the same outstretched black palms in whites’ faces.

This is a side effect of Planned Parenthood’s plan to eradicate blacks taking longer than anticipated.

I figured probably a 1/3 of the $1M + of fed income tax I have paid in my life has gone to the entitlement slugs. If that ain’t enough slavery reparation, I don’t know what is.

There is no compensation for slavery. All those enslaved are now dead, as are the enslavers.

Is Rome going to pay Great Britain for the enslvement of her people? Is Saudi Arabia going to pay whites and blacks both (slavery existed there, legally, until the 1960s, and probably still does, illegally. ASk numerous Philippine housemaids)?

Some people need to get over themselves and try to make something of their lives, instead of demanding that other people be “sensitive” to their racially charged tantrums.

Just saying.

Let those who were actually enslaved get reparations from those who actually enslaved them....not from present day descendants who are neither slave owners or the enslaved.

When word of massive ill-treatment being meted out to slaves that were sold to the colonial powers got back to Africa, the African countries tried to stop the selling of their people, but Europe and the US, so caught up in their greed for the products that were produced from free labour, continued to enslave Africans by force.

That sounds to me like an unmitigated LIE.
