LOL! Srsly? How about someone calculate transportation, medical care, housing, food and clothes to come up with a number for shipping folks here. Thing is most "slaves" ended up in the Caribbean(I believe) and other locations south of the U.S. If I recall correctly there were about 300,000 people brought here. Add in the service my ancestors gave to help free people during the civil war (Union regiment out of NY) and I'm lookin' at around $1.98 or so due me.

The tacit assumption is that black people owned no slaves when in fact they did, some of the largest slaveholders in several southern states, Louisiana in particular, were themselves black. The whole chattel slavery thing was set into motion by a black man in Virginia, a former indentured servant himself, suing his own black indentured servant claiming that he was bound to him for life. Anthony Johnson. He won. 1655.

MLK if a SJW: “I have a dream that little white babies and little black babies will be judged by the color or their skin, and not their character, and that this time it will be done so that black babies will grow up to feel harmed and white babies grow up to feel guilty and thereby both will vote for communists saying that they are Democrats.”

What is the value of a man?

If 600,000 died in a conflict which freed the slaves, the bill has been paid for centuries to come.

But what if we identify as African Americans? After all, you are what you say you are.

If you ask me blacks should be required to pay whites a culture tax for things like science, computers, clean water, the automobile, and a million other things they would NEVER have if it wasnt for whitey.

If you calculate in the percentage of black crime, this might actually turn into a credit.
