The Africans taken out of Africa are all long dead.
Those who removed them are all long dead.
The heirs of slaves that were not slaves have no standing to demand anything from those who never owned slaves themselves.
These reparations clowns need to be told to shove off in no uncertain terms.
As I understand it was African Muslim tribes that captured other Africans, non-Muslim Africans, and sold them to slavers for transport to the Americas.
Obama’s ancestors were African Muslim slave traders - not slaves. Try teaching that in American schools.
Excellent points, all. But I actually would be supportive of reparations in at least one circumstance: where it can be proven that a family’s wealth can be reliably traced back to their owning slaves and the descendents of said slaves could be reliably identified. In that circumstance I would be 100% supportive of wealth being seized from those who profited from slavery and given to those whose wealth was extracted by slavery. I honestly think this would be rare. But blanket reparations from (only) white people regardless of lineage and to African Americans regardless of lineage? Absurd.
I've got their "reparations." Right frikken here. Chambered in .40 Cal, 9mm and .357 Magnum. Oh, and an 8-shot 12-Guage Mossberg.
Come and get it!
