I would take issue with discussing this in any court of law.
This subject is a subject to discuss as a seminar or as part of some round table discussion on C-Span.
To be in any sort of a court implies that someone somehow has legal liability for what happened hundreds of years ago.
And the liberals and our media would gloss over slavery which happened, even today, in other parts of the world, and focus on African slavery perpetrated by European peoples.
No thanks, I think this is a bad idea.
We don’t even need to go back to ancient civilizations to shut these reparation morons up.
Just tell them we’ll pay them reparations on the very same day they pay us back for 600,000 ancestors dying in a war to end slavery.
Of course the cause of the American Civil War was a lot more complicated than that, but considering the lack of decent education given to the reparation jerks, that’s all they know about it anyway. No need to delve too deeply into casus belli.
IMHO, reparations should be paid by the black descendants of slavery to the families of the hundreds of thousands of Union soldiers who DIED or were horrible maimed and wounded fighting to free their slave ancestors.
This is a bad idea, because there would be no equal sides to it. It would be set up to basically justify why it should be paid out.
What about the muslims who rounded them up in the first place, and who are still involved in the slave trade? How about demanding reparations out of them?
Blacks have had plenty given to them recently. They have received reperations many times over.

Is guilt passed down through the genes? Which is the guilt gene?
If there were one, then there is a 50% chance that it was passed on down to each generation. Meaning that everyone would have to have a DNA test.
If any of that were true, then I have zero chance of having that gene, since none of my ancestors were slaveholders.
If not a gene test, then what standard would they use to determine guilt or privilege? Skin color? Identifying as black? (Rachel Dolezal). Not having a discernible father? Not speaking English properly?
And suppose they steal money from all Whites and give each black $50,000. Will that shut them up? No. The blacks who aren’t born yet are entitled each to $50,000, so this will go on forever. Blacks would flock into the country and start collecting their $50,000.
So give up sovereignty and subject this country to foreign laws over something done in the past here, but in the present elsewhere.
A fair number of my ancestors were held as slaves for 400 years and it took numerous acts of God to gain their freedom from the black Egyptians (ask Farrakhan about it). Four thousand years of compound interest or even just simple interest should be a fair amount. Plus legal fees and cost of the court of course.
My ancestor was a King , GIVE ME MY STUFF NOW
If you want to sue anyone, sue our first parents, and their ancestors, for having bought into Satan's lie.
It is the height of absurdity to keep looking in the rear-view mirror, particularly over things that happened years ago. Stop the yammering about "reparations".
People, by nature, are evil and they are slaves to Satan. It is only by becoming a bond-slave to Christ they truly become free ('His yoke is easy, and His burden is light').
I would consider this idea if it would mean an absolute end to all race based preferences in all facets of society. For example, No more asking for race on applications etc. Make that illegal.
African war lords used to slaughter the vanquished by the thousands.
Then, Europeans came along and said “Hey - dont kill them. We will buy them and send them to America where they can live.”
This topic is TOXIC. It should NEVER even be discussed. The idea is CRAZY on its face, but it is the easiest way, and almost assuredly so, to start a race war.
Don’t ever give anyone the idea that reparations is a serious idea. Riots will occur everywhere, Cities will BURN.
If people think that they can diffuse the situation by agreeing to reparations at the start, they’re WRONG. Then begins the discussions of “how much?” and how much is enough? Who gets what? Who will pay? and on and on until the riots start.
You want to cause a seismic fracture between the races, start talking seriously about reparations, that’ll do it.
Reparations calculation.
1. Average annual income of west Africans who did not have an ancestor brought to the US as a slave.
2. Income of individual slave descendant in the USA filing for reparations.
If #1 is greater than #2, subtract #2 from #1 to determine annual reparations amount.
If #2 is greater than #1, subtract #1 from #2 to determine annual payment to US Treasury due from slave descendants in the US.
I’m all for Reparations. Just have anyone who was a Slave prior to 1865 show up and I’ll write them a Check.
