Give them a season pass to the Obama Library if it ever opens.
Reparations?
For what, exactly?
Blacks captured each other in Africa and sold each other to other blacks to transport to all over the world. The US took in less than 5% of all captured blacks as slaves.
A black man started black slavery in the Virginia colony when he sued to keep another black man as a slave.
Blacks by a larger percentage of their population than whites held slaves in the colonies.
An all-expenses-paid on-way trip to whatever country they consider better than America.
All the slaves are dead!
So get over your slaves, I mean selves already...
Buncha friggin’ whiners! Just looking for some free money, that’s all it is...
No FReeper opposes reparations for any living person who was held as a slave prior to 1865.
The argument that the US economic system was built in the back of slaves is a stretch
Totally ignores industrialization and modernization. US western agriculture never used slaves

Plus I am willing to provide a one way ticket back to their homeland
What about all the blacks, like Barack Obama himself, who are not descended from slaves?
This woman is batcrap crazy. There is NO interest on savings accounts right now. You can’t set an artificial rate and esp. do it arbitrarily. THe Indians will get very upset and go on the warpath (sarcasm intended).
Land? The states own much of the farming land, not the US govt. Boy some people are stupid.
Forgive student loans just for blacks? Why, that’s racial discrimination against whites, Asians, real Africans, Hispanics, Europeans in general, and other groups who have been made into racial units despite not being in “other” racial groups.
I thought Cynthia Nixon was a progressive crazy but the writer is far to the Left of her, so far in fact that she fell off the pages of her article.
Maybe the fall knocked some sense into her racist head. Who am I kidding? She’ll never change. Too much of an Obamite for that.
Send the bill to the African tribes who enslaved and sold their ancestors in the first place.
I see it as proof Hussein is NOT BLACK!
Seriously, a black man is president for 8 years and never lifted a finger to end the Jim Crow/Hairy Ansslicker oppression law? Not Black!
LBJ’s War on Poverty. It seems to me the reparations have already been paid.
Nearly $25 trillion in spending of taxpayer money on “anti-poverty” programs since 1964, and what has it gotten?...Black Lives Matter, riots, killing of law enforcement officers, feral animals with no fathers roaming city streets, drugs, gangs.
False premise. This country was not mostly built by slave labor. I really am beginning to hate these gimme thats
How about one way ticket s to Africa
“...Reparations...”
More than of 3/4 million Union soldiers died to free the slaves.
The U.S. is the only country in history that sacrificed its own citizens to free slaves.
Slavery has been around since the dawn of human history (sadly).
The idea that AA’s are somehow owed reparations in addition to this is ludicrous!!!
