Mayors back reparations that could cost $6.2 quadrillion, or $151M per descendant

You posts alone shows who is ignorant, you are trying to make the excuse that African traders are responsible for the subhuman treatment black folks suffered on another continent by white folks. If the police comes by your house and finds 4 stolen flat screen televisions do you think they are going to let you keep them off of the strength that someone stole them in another city. If you stole a Rolex in Germany and came back to America, if the cops find you in possession of stolen goods do they let you go because it was stolen in Germany.

 

That's because you have your eyes closed.

 

So they are responsible for white folks did a continent away in America, is that what you are saying? When did the last ship carrying cargo for slaves dock in America?

 

Straight up hatred, nope. I don't hear that unless it is some wacked out extremist on the news.

You could have easily done it yourself.

 

How do you know for a fact our ancestors sold us into slavery?

All I know is you just pulled that BS out of your.............

You know that how? I find it amazing how you know so much about black folks in America and you have never been to America and met any.

When I move to Africa I will check it out, I live in America Jack.

 

Oh so we just got hurt feelings. Smfh. Have a nice day I don't want to get banned.

 

If you show me people that are enslaved today, I am all for reparations and freedom! Beyond that, nothing but stupidity.

 

What else is it? You havn't been maimed. At this point it is literally just feelings and emotions. There is nothing physically keeping anyone from succeeding in todays world. Claiming events from decades ago is affecting your ability to make decisions and take initiative today is just silly.

 

No problem. Just show documentary proof that you are directly descended from a slave, and we'll write the check.

 

Beat you to what? Do you think that's crazy or something?

You wanna know what's crazy, people getting upset over a guy they don't know, who was killed by a guy they don't know, in a city they don't live in, and their first reaction is to burn down their own neighborhoods.

Oh, you were probably thinking the dollar amount is too high. Have you heard of the Green New Deal?

Here's a dollar amount for you:

In 1999, African-American lawyer and activist Randall Robinson, founder of the TransAfrica advocacy organization, wrote that America's history of race riots, lynching, and institutional discrimination have "resulted in $1.4 trillion in losses for African Americans".[7] Economist Robert Browne stated the ultimate goal of reparations should be to "restore the black community to the economic position it would have if it had not been subjected to slavery and discrimination". [8] He estimates a fair reparation value anywhere between $1.4 to $4.7 trillion, or roughly $142,000 (equivalent to $153,000 in 2019) for every black American living today.[8] Other estimates range from $5.7 to $14.2[9] and $17.1 trillion.[10]

Cool, post some more ideas from people nobody has ever heard of.

 

Fo sho!

Not as much as I should. I still need my reparations.

 

Remember the sage advice about arguing with idiots.

 

There were thousands of escaped slaves who fought in the Union Army also.

 

Thank you. I wonder why some people want to over look this fact?

 

Nope - conservatives should be leading the charge.

But there may be a peculiar and dangerous entitlement mentality - often projected - which prevents this.

 

Again, those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Any remember all the millionaires in the Weimer Republic? Make 13% of the population instant millionaires, you then also create MASSIVE inflation. ECON 101!

 

Yup.

Huge mistake now and then.

 

Oh they are, in other countries but dont expect a tear or a single penny from those with their hands out.

 

They dont care, it's all about them and some new rims and such.

 

Conservatives continue to win the meme wars!

 

Not all memes are equal, some are true!

 

I think it's an incomplete truth, but as far as it goes, not bad.

We're seeing lunatic cancel culture joining forces with those who wish to see a problem that should have been addressed seriously hundreds of years ago - and still hasn't been - addressed and resolved.

 

Go live in Uganda or Rwanda for even 6 months and tell me how ya did. There are many whites that had to suffer in the sweat shops in hell's kitchen, my grand parents did, so that means I should get reparations too?
