How do you feel about reparations? I am a proud Black woman, who is totally against reparations. I don't think anybody owes anybody else for slavery or slave related incidents. White people shouldn't be held accountable for what happened, if they weren't even here to begin with. To even offer a Black person payment for slavery suggests, you feel some guilt, or you are harboring shameful thoughts towards the Black race. To accept payment from a white person, sends the message to society that slavery was ok, & that the debt has been paid. The debt can never be paid, & slavery wasn't ok! It shouldn't have happened in the first place, but the past can't be undone. What do the rest of you think? I value all opinions, even those who don't agree with me, whatever your race!
