    And that still doesn't excuse what the Europeans did.

    Honest question for you. You seem to hate America so if you got a reparations check for a hundred k and a first class ticket to the African country of your choice would you take the deal? If not why not? You’d be a very wealthy lady in Africa and could retire in luxury.

    Practice social distancing. Wear a mask when out in public. Wash your hands frequently.
    Have a nice day. Bye.

    No but it levels the plating field. Europeans were no worse than the native Americans so don’t vilify them

    Honest question for you: Why do you think the USA insists on operating a system of White Supremacy when they can clearly see it is not working anymore? When something isn't working, it's best to try something new, right?

    The focus of this thread is African-Americans going back to Africa. I just had another thought: how many here would like to see White South Africans relocate to the USA?

    When is the last time you called black citizens just Americans?

    Black people were the only race whites wanted in America. They had a complete industry devoted to bring them here and refused to let them leave. They even fought wars to keep them with them at all times. And after the Civil War it specifically said that black Africans could become citizens. During WWI they even imported more black people.

    Notice that he said $14 TRILLION, not $14 Billion. That is a very large difference.

    So you refuse to answer my question and I have to believe despite all your hateful rhetoric about America no amount of money would convince you to leave here and Move to Africa. Something you should think about before you complain further.

    Most of the American slaves were born in America. Only a relatively few were imported, especially after 1800.

    Why are my posts" hateful rhetoric"? I speak the truth. Why are you so fragile and defensive?

    You claim we are a white supremacy country. That’s not only hateful but if you truly believe it you would take the money and run to Africa. If a 100k isn’t enough then how much would you accept as a price to leave America for Africa? Is their any price or maybe you like it here better that you think huh.

    Doesn’t change the fact that Africans sold Africans to white slave traders

    I think that is something that the race hustler Jesse Jackson cooked up.

    "In the 1980s, the term African American was advanced on the model of, for example, German Americanor Irish American, to give descendants of American slaves, and other American blacks who lived through the slavery era, a heritage and a cultural base.[256] The term was popularized in black communities around the country via word of mouth and ultimately received mainstream use after Jesse Jackson publicly used the term in front of a national audience in 1988. Subsequently, major media outlets adopted its use.[256]"
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Americans

    BTW, by that definition, Obama is not an African American.

    This thread has turned ridiculous, Moriah is born American and is afforded all the rights as anyone else, white or black and chooses to complain about her ancestors past. sad.

    Most if not all blacks call themselves African Americans so your point is moot

    Are you going to pay me to go back to Africa, JosephWalker? That's what your post sounds like.

    I previously asked you if you would take a reparations payment contingent on your moving back to Africa. You have dodged the question repeatedly so obviously your answer is no and you wouldn’t leave America for Africa for any amount of money. I don’t blame you either but you should admit that to yourself. Not so bad here after all is it.
