“What about Great Britain, Spain and Portugal?.................”
And Africa. All these countries accounted almost 100% of the slave trade.
Legal scholars AKA Leftist a-hole professors
The dead bodies on the civil war battlefields are all the reparations they need.
And they should pay the rest of us for (1) the welfare costs that we have borne due to their self-destructive behavour and (2) the benefits of the technology that they would not have received (clean water, etc.) if their ancestors had never been enslaved.
They already got their reparations, in trillions spent over 50-60 years of Great Society and beyond, welfare programs. Affirmative action jobs and college admissions.
Blacks need to shut up and be grateful they don’t live in Africa.
My family paid their “reparations” in the 1860’s.
Great-great uncle mortally wounded at Spotsylvania Court House, died as a Confederate POW.
Patralineal Great Grandfather contracted typhus during the seige of Petersburg but survived.
We’ve done our part.
1 to 1.2 million white slaves captured into slavery by Africans?
5 to 5.5 million black slaves sold to Latin America?
10 to 12 million black slaves sold to Asia?
And, as others posted, virtually all of the black slaves were captured and sold into slavery by other blacks. And we could spend all day posting about all the white-on-white slavery, and native American on native American slavery, and Asian on Asian slavery, and black on black slavery (captured Africans sold into slavery to African slave masters).
But the insane left wants you to think that the black slaves brought to the U.S. had some unique experience.
Already paid reparations for blacks =
300,000+ union soldiers dead fighting the civil war
End of Jim Crowe
Passage of voting and civil rights acts
Affirmative Action
Gerrymandering voting city council and congressional and state districts to ensure race is a part of elections.
Billions spent in the Great Society Programs on the inner cities.
When Japanese Americans got 30,000 each in reparations, they had to still be living and having had been in internment camps. My secretary got 30,000, as did her husband and her mother. But the land that was taken from them in Florin CA was worth 1.2 million at the time they got 30,000 each.
When blacks stop playing the victim card, look at the rate of black on black crime, value education, hold fathers responsible, they will blossom in the US economy like they have never done before. The power of “reparations” is already in their own hands to improve their lives.
It is unfair for citizens whose ancestors were not even here during slavery to have to pay taxes for reparations to people who have not been slaves.
“Reparations” is a leftist dog whistle to call for white genocide.
Nope.
Send the UN hq to Uganda. Get the USA out of the UN and the UN out of the USA.
Affirmative Action law professors, that is. Why exactly would descendants of slaves be entitled to a single dime? And even if they were, how many people can document their ancestry as being from slaves—that is not including hearsay. What about other people who were enslaved? Should China be paying reparations to its Uyghurs? Should Egypt be paying reparations to the Jews it enslaved? How about the various Native American tribes who enslaved captives from other tribes? What about Americans whose families had not yet reached American shores until well after the Civil and therefore had no slaves? And, just who is to pay for these reparations? Will the taxes paid by African Americans be applied toward this? The whole concept is utterly ridiculous to the extreme, pure commie agenda-driven, zero logic.
The legal, historical & common sense argument AGAINST paying reparations of blacks today! Presented by a history professor to a bunch of college student & they are remarkably respectful!
I’m sure the slave owner democrats will pay out $14 trillion in a heart beat of taxpayer money
Go ahead, UN. That will be the final straw to leave it, entirely.
With such large assets, they will have the means to pay damages for all the destruction they caused. I smell a class action!
UN to order America?
How many divisions does the UN have?
I demand the UN repatriate all blacks with their native African tribes
Immediately
Problem solved
What about the muslims who sold them to the europeans?
