Reflect on the words of Caucasian economist, Douglass C. North, then ask yourselves

How do they tell who gets paid.

and relating stories by movie stars is not an answer.
there are millions of people at stake here with no documentation.

 

That has to be voted in, and I doubt it would pass.
Do you mean black people have to pay. What's the point there.

 

it matters not, its a lose lose for you either way.

 

Not for me, for you because you are expecting free money.

 

im not expecting anything over here in briton. you though are an american and you will need to pay up or be in eternal debt to so called african americans, thats why its a lose lose for you. you want a get out?

accept the messiah Yeshua as your saviour and maybe you have a clause.

 

Yeah right.

 

All of it.

An entire race of people don't get credit or compensation because of past wrongs. Just as Germany does not owe all Gays, Jews, and disabled people.

 

Your post is simply not based in, logic, when considering the fact that every adjudicated tort case in USA history is a direct result of some citizen(s) being compensated for past wrongs. No matter how long the past had been.

Thereby if you agree that every tort case, ever, should be dissolved/dismissed then yes your remarks I quoted do indeed make good sense.

Nonetheless since the yield and the work and the impact of 'that cotton' belonged exclusively to Black humans, then you gave no tangible proof here that their Estate should not be compensated for 1)literally making America great and 2)how us Whitefolk today get to enjoy our White Privilege thanks to the current legacy of Slavery.

 

As stated, you and I disagree on logic....you find my reasoning invalid and I find yours unworkable.

 

Actually I gave both world history's and American history's, facts, which verify that your reasoning is simply not based in logic. Whereas you only used your, emotions, to claim my reasoning is unworkable

 

I don't think you understand the legal theory that you're advocating here. Descendants? Why? Descendants were never slaves, so there are no reparations to be delivered. And to put a super fine point on it, reparations were already offered, hence 40 acres and a mule. I know, history doesn't support your dependency drive, but neither does the law. There is zero precedent that can support your desire. The only folks causing racial tensions are folks, like you who can't let it go.

 

LOL.... laughable. Clearly, you don't understand torts. More clearly, you don't understand that fact that reparations have actually been extended historically. Today, there isn't a single slave to extend a payment to. None. Zippo. Your fantasy is just that, except it's also inherently baiting racial tension.

 

Sorry, I understand I used large multi syllable words... My bad. I will address you appropriately in the future...

 

No, clearly you don't understand tort and you especially don't understand the term legacy.

Tort can be awarded to an Estate of a victim, is that victim is dead. Especially if the victims' family/descendants is still toiling in the legacy of that same slavery.

 

Again, laughable. Who is "toiling in the legacy" except those folks who inhabit your own imagination? There are no victims today. Intending to pit folks who are basically uharmed against those who didn't harm them at all is just ridiculous. And just for grins, what do you suppose the average descendant of a slave is owed? And does that mean all descendants, or just one in the lineage? If one slave created 500 descendants, do all 500 have to split the reparation of the original slave? if not, why not?

 

And suppose some are half white, do they get half a share.

And how do they prove it.
Most cannot be proven in a court of law.

 

I live in Los Angeles. Please tell us the skin color of my neighbors and how you came to that conclusion.

 

because a precedent has already been set. White Jewish European descendants of concentration camp victims are receiving payments as we speak.

 

the were never met though. The only folks causing racial tensions are folks, like you who refuse to accept that you never paid reparations and you fully dont intend to. little wonder there is racial tensions in america

 

Their homes were stolen, their wealth stolen, and they were murdered by the millions.

 

exactly, yet white americans refuse to pay reparations to them as it will likely end up costing $75 Trillion.

 

Shouldn't the white people in England be paying.
They are the ones who benefited from the cotton trade.
They even supported the south in the war.

 

LOLOL

Do they get paid on the percentage of black blood they have.

What percentage does Obamas mothers family get.

 

damn right they should be paying too, many slaves were taken to liverpool and bristol.
