    That's really at the issue as to why there will never be slavery reparations but it will be a political issue that will haunt the US body politic every 4 years from now on; because it is a thousand times more useful as a political issue than it would be as a real program. As you can see, Moriah is just eating this up, she thinks it's really going to happen one day. Instead, it will be promised every 4 years. It's really the perfect political issue!

    Or to clarify, US citizens of Japanese ancestry did deserve reparations, because their rights as US citizens were violated, but US residents of Japanese ancestry who were not citizens didn't deserve reparations because it's common practice to intern citizens of enemy foreign powers during wartime.

    American Indians do not deserve reparations the US government has already settled with every single existing tribe.

    Senator Warren has suggested gay reparations for the period of time before gay marriage was legalized. How much should gays get paid? This is important because it's likely the gays will get reparations before there are slavery reparations.

    I've already explained why. I'm not ridiculing the idea or concept of reparations, merely that there is no practical way to carry it out at this point in history. It's simply a political trick that you are falling for, which I find amusing, but fear it is only going to leave you sad and bitter when, at some point down the road, you realize that the political angle was never about reparations, and only about an issue that's important only as long as it's never fulfilled.

    In other words, I'm telling you that neither you, your children, or their children are going to get reparations, even though generations will vote for that promise.

    Now that's just racist.
    You wave the white flag? You admit your case was weak and that reparations is a poor idea?

    No, I have the white flag as a sign of goodwill. My case is strong. VERY strong. And reparations are a magnificent idea.
    I have goodwill towards Whites even though I know White privilege does exist.

    Then, could you, please, be so kind to describe this "magnificent idea" to all of us dummies who cannot grasp how the redistribution would take place and who exactly it is that would recieve it.

    PS. White Privilege™ is not real, but that is for another thread.

    Don't call yourself a "dummie".
    I never would have bought up White privilege if you hadn't said, "What about being 1/4 Black, 1/4 Native American, 1/2 Japanese and gay".
    But, you are right. It belongs in another thread.

    Goodwill? I kind of doubt that. Don't you remember...

    If you don't believe reparations are a possibility for American Decendants of Slavery, I don't remember writing these posts.
    Case closed.

    I can tell when posters are getting desperate. They bring up posts from way back when to try to shame you with them. :razz:
    Sorry. It's not going to work.
    Try again, Lil Mike.

    I have nothing to try, only I'm glad that your memory is refreshed after forgetting that you wrote some fairly pro-genocidal comments. My position is that you are not going to get reparations...ever. But you will hear about them during presidential election years. If I'm wrong and you actually get reparations, then you can pull up this thread and mock me. I will be good humored and take my lumps. Maybe you'll have better luck with the genocide though, although just being honest if I survive I doubt I'll be good humored about it. I would rather you get reparations.

    Regardless of the what the naysayers here keep posting, I do believe the American Decendants of Slavery are going to receive reparations.
