    No the Holocaust was bad! Slavery is a part of history it was a part of every culture. Perhaps it was a necessity. Why would you give reperations to ancestors of slaves. They certainly don't deserve it.

    Almost all the world have had ancestors that were slaves at one point? Why are African American slaves so special?

    Blacks have all the chances in the world. It's insulting you think they need handouts because you believe they can't be successful on their own accord.

    If blacks are failing like you say they are it's a cultural change they need and not handouts. Blaming slavery is a copout

    Give a man a fish or teach him to fish and all that.

    I am for helping struggling communities by providing the tools to succeed but paying off people and sweeping the problem under the carpet i'm not cool with.

    Don't fight for a big pay check that people will squander, it's not the solution. Neither is blaming Slavery, with this attitude you are setting blacks up for failure.

    Stop putting blacks back into the shackles of the past.

    Why don't you read the entire thread to find out? It is annoying to repeat the same answers over and over again.

    There is no legacy but that which you impose upon yourself, in the 21stC.

    Not one person has yet declared the criteria for determining eligibility for reparations. IE, criteria for blackness.

    They will never confront the brutal reality that 200 years on, there is no longer any way you can declare someone black without become Hitler.

    Seems pretty obvious: 'they' refers to the leeches with their hands out, claiming an entitlement for reparations. And they have not given any thought to who qualifies. It does not matter to them, as long as they, personally, get that check.

    Not once. Never. The only answer ever given (and it's not an answer, it's feeble dodge) is "descendants of slaves".

    You know full well it can't be done without going into eugenics. Want to try? Go ahead, tell us how many drops will be required.

    If no one can qualify (because requiring qualification makes them Hitler), it can't be done.

    If you want a rational, thoughtful dialogue on the issues (besides me} this is obviously not the place.

    There's nothing rational about counting drops of black blood.

    Ridiculousness is not an explanation. Please explain the mechanics of how identifying the ancestors of slaves would work. Be specific.

    And if you say "Ancestry.com", I'm going to point at you and laugh.

    Agreed. I think there is a site called: lazyleecheslookingforfreemoney.com That would be the place for you to have this 'rational, thoughtful dialogue with like-minded leeches.

    That's false.

    The Arab slave trade was race-based slavery involving the enslavement of black Africans. The Arab slave trade goes all the way back to the seventh century, it lasted far longer than the Atlantic slave trade, it involved far greater numbers of African slaves, and it only ended when the might of white European and American societies forced it to end.

    The Arab slave trade also involved sexual slavery on a mass scale, and horrors such as the practice of castration, which was never present in the Atlantic slave trade.

    Kind of sick, huh?
