Oh, did the profits just disappear into the thin air?
Or, did it get passed down to their children.
and that got passed down to their children and so on and so on.
So much brutality and rape back than,
The rape victim's family should get the profits, not the rapist grandchildren
I'm suing to get those so-called lost profits
Is that what you're afraid of?

Why would you ever believe that a slave owner's profits disappeared into thin air? Its now many major corporations were started in this country.

Well, good luck with that. However, neither I nor my white family have ever owned slaves. My ancestors came from Scotland and Ireland. The Irish side of the family came at the beginning of the Potato Famine. So, why in the hell should I give you any more of my money when my family never had slaves? Are you targeting specific families, like Al Gore's, for instance, or every White person? I bet it's every White person, right? Then it isn't reparation, is it? Further, can you prove that your ancestors were raped as you seem to dwell on that? No, of course you can't. So, don't hold your breath getting rich on this.

WOW...here we go again....let me guess?? You probably don't have a job or at that you don't make much. So, this is your excuse to claim money. I have news for you and anyone else that feels this way....GET OVER IT!!!! We are in an effing war right now!!! You want to sit there and complain, because your ancestors were slaves. Welcome to the cruel world that we live in!!!! Good luck on the law suit, you know as well as I know....you will never see a dime. You can thank your government for that. Oh yeah...I am white and my ancestors came from Ireland and guess what??? They were slaves too!! Go figure, you don't see myself or how do you say it..."my people" trying to claim a freaking dollar??? I think someone needs a wake up call and needs to concentrate on our society as a whole and not a race. Like I said before we are at WAR right now, our troops are protecting me, my family and you and yours!!!! Instead of contemplating on being upset due to the past, why don't you worry about the fact that our soldiers that are protecting us are losing there on life for us!!!!

I am white male and any white women or minorites who don't like more for that fact and think I had something to do with slavery or any other repression in this country can go walk in front of a bus for all I care. IF you really think you can "pay me back" for something I had nothing to do with the future of this country is looking ugly!

go ahead and sue tom.you wont get anywhere.im so sick of the whiney black men in this country still crying about slavery.i as a white man agree that it was a crime against humanity and a sin against God to enslave any man and to rape and beat them like they did.however no black man alive today in this country has ever been a slave to the white man so man up and get over your crying.you never even met your great-great-great grandparents to run your mouth.to them i apoligze as a white man for the crimes committed against them by my forefathers...to you i say get over it.you were born free and the only limits you have are the ones created by yourself.no white man is holding you back.so be the man God made you to be and forgive and accept it as something that none of us can change but remember them in your prayers..as i will.good day.
