KCAL POLL

Are the 35 million descendants of African slaves entitled to reparations?

[US_MilitaryRules]

Do your part and vote.

[antidemocommie]

Are all blacks in America descendants of slaves?

[knak]

I'll gladly vote NO! I can't see any results though.

They should get their reparations from slave owners. Has anyone seen a slave owner lately?

BTTT

I think the millions of descendants of slave owners are entitled to reparations. Slave owners received no compensation for their lost property.

PC Newspeak: Reparations = "from those who never owned slaves to those who never were slaves"

Talk about destroying the meaning of words.

First off there aren't 35 million, not all blacks are descended from slaves. Many of their families came to the US after the end of slavery, okay??

geesh

[Reagan Man]

Reparations harm people who never owned slaves and rewards people who never where slaves.

Sure. They're in Sudan. The slave trade is alive and well there. Maybe these guys should be seeking reparations from the slave brokers. They're the guiltiest. But wait, they don't have deep pockets.

Does Halle Berry's mother have to pay Halle Berry's father?

[altair]

Ditto. Ditto. That web page sucks. I hope whoever wrote it dies a slow painful death.

I will go on record and state on this forum that:

THE GOP WILL SIGN OR SPONSOR A REPARATIONS BILL

This will occur prior to 2016. You watch. The spineless GOP will do it.

Comments?

Politicians only care about one thing POWER and how to keep it

They would like you to think so.

My Irish great grandfather was essentially slave laborer in a coal mine. I think all Irish, Italian, German, Jewish, Norwegian, Swedish, Polish, etc. immigrants to the US that were working to pay off the "company store" (i.e for nothing except food and housing)are also entitled to reparation. /sarcasm.

You folks whining because your 3rd generation ancestors were mis-treated: get over it, grow up, and learn to make it on your own.

Quit looking for a free ride on the backs of your relatives; they would be ashamed of you.
