Because my people came to the North just in time to fight for the Union, I think Blacks owe me.
I am good with this, as long as we also take into account how many trillions of dollars non-whites have received in preferential treatment and monetary benefits from the government since 1964, and we can all agree to pay the difference.
We might get a good chunk of money back!
I can see them now-”Hey! I never got any of that money or preferential treatment!”
And we can say: “Hey! I never owned slaves or repressed anyone!”
It’s “Jizya”, don’t be fooled.
Us white people have paid out billions in tax payer money to give many blacks better schools, free college tuition and fund other social programs. The race baiters still encourage them to stick their hands out and demand more. I bet we could pay every black in this country reparations for slavery and a year later at least half would be back on welfare.
If I recall correctly there were about 300,000 people brought here
That is almost the number of SLAVES SOLD on the Courthouse Steps in Weekly Auctions in Egypt TODAY!!!
I’m screwed. The family has been here since 1635.
My family were Northerners (PA) on my mom’s side. My dad was a legal immigrant who came here after WWII. My husband’s family were Southerners but too poor to own slaves.
They owe me.
I owe not one Red Cent.The hell with them empty hand folks.
I never owned a “slave” so why should I pay?
Uhmmmm...K.
then Blacks would pay an equal tax, as they are recipients of the benefits of a slave system.....
Would Rachel Dozeall pay?
He told me that we should be exempted.
My grandmother was a “Cherokee princess” with “high cheekbones” so I don’t owe anything but the “calculation” said I won a free 32 piece box of buffalo wings.
Calculation of amount due non-white US citizens:
1. Income from all sources of US citizen
2. Average income in nation of US citizen’s ancestry
3. Calculate difference of 1. and 2.
If 2. is greater than 1., difference is amount due US citizen from US Treasury.
If 1. is greater than 2., difference is amount due US Treasury from US citizen.
I have multiple ancestors that fought for the Confederacy, my lineage is solely Northern European, and I don’t owe the leeches a damn thing!
Dang. I’m from John and Priscilla Alden. I’m bankrupt.
...then some black people find out their ancestors were slave traders!
Ooops.
Since three of my kin were among the 600,000 that died between 1860 and 1865 to make slaves free, when do I get compensated or even thanked.
Guilt is passed through the genes. Each generation inherits the guilt gene. This gene is very dominant, and is unfailingly passed to every child, in distinct contradiction with the known rules of inheritance.
Also, by a miraculous process, light-skinned people who aren’t descended from slaveowners acquire the guilt gene the moment they move to this country.
That explains why people who never had slaves are asked to give money to people who never were slaves, and why Whites are always considered guilty, even if they don’t have a bit of racism in their system at all. The simple fact of having light skin is enough to condemn a person to a life of guilt.
A 95% white, 5% “African American” then, owes what, 5% to himself?
And if the “African American” is biracial, say only 40% “African” then how much does (s)he owe?
And if the “African American’s” ancestry shows immigration after 1865, then NO SOUP FOR YOU
Non-Whites in America have already had their “reparations”.
It’s time for them to carry their own weight and start contributing instead of taking.
The US has spent over $22 Trillion dollars on poverty programs and we are $20 Trillion dollars in debt.
It’s time for all minorities to stop the whining and join the mainstream.
The US Constitution promises equal opportunity, not equal outcomes.
Minorities on the take need to follow the example of the small percentage of minorities who do have traditional American values,
independent spirit and personal pride and who do make their own way in life.

THE WAR ON POVERTY AFTER 50 YEARS
September 15, 2014
“In his January 1964 State of the Union address, President Lyndon Johnson proclaimed,
“This administration today, here and now, declares unconditional war on poverty in America.”
In the 50 years since that time, U.S. taxpayers have spent over $22 trillion on anti-poverty programs.
Adjusted for inflation, this spending (which does not include Social Security or Medicare) is three times the cost of all U.S. military wars
since the American Revolution.
Yet progress against poverty, as measured by the U.S. Census Bureau, has been minimal, and in terms of President Johnson’s main goal of
reducing the “causes” rather than the mere “consequences” of poverty, the War on Poverty has failed completely.
In fact, a significant portion of the population is now less capable of self-sufficiency than it was when the War on Poverty began.”

You left out the disproportionate amount of taxes and insurance and security you’ve had to pay over decades, which was both a “transfer payment” (ie, redistribution) or cost to you as a result of racism and “affirmative action” and crime against you.
Once your factor that in, you will be owed MUCH more than a buck ninety eight.
