I want our lands returned and treaties honored! If you get paid we should be too, and hate to break it to you brother, but our claims should be heard first as they predate slavery issues.

No way! Slavery didn't even begin in America! There were slaves long before the American's got involved. And not only that, not ALL of America agreed with slavery! That's why there was the war between the North and the South.
Besides, what do you have to complain about now anyway? You have equal rights, equal opportunities, equal everything! You are just as much as an American as I am and can do just as much with your life as I can. Why do you cling onto such racists tactics against ALL Americans when for one, we today, did not own slaves, and for two, wouldn't take part in slavery IF it existed in America today?
Pshaw! Stop trying to provoke and just try to love.

NO
Whites have also been enslaved throughout history, and in some places (Balkan women forced into prostitution in the West for example) still are.
If blacks get reparations so should whites.
As for btyboo - Get some history books, slavery has been going on for a hell of a long time more than England has even been a country.
And in America slavery was going on before Europeans arrived, native America tribes enslaved those they conquered.

Any more money you get from govt will be your own money. Do you think all the zillion white millionaires/billionaires are all paying their taxes correctly ? It is only the working class that pays correct taxes.
If you can get money for all the worng things this country (or, white people) did, there will be a huge line: starting from native Indians and Mexicans to Iraqis and Iranis.

No, i think of it relatively is extra alongside the line of sharecroppers. After the Civil war the freed slaves that stayed interior the South have been taken benefit of by potential of plantation proprietors. They knew the freed slaves have been undesirable and desperately needed paintings and money. so as that they have been employed as sharecroppers on those plantations. they could frequently survive or close to the plantations/farms. they could then paintings on those farms which gave them guard and little or no money. The sharecroppers could borrow money from the plantation proprietors for the crop seed and for kit. they could plant, tend, and %. each and every of the flowers on the plantation(purely like the slaves) yet on the tip of the crop season they could could desire to pay back the plantation proprietors and shop what money that they had left. even with the undeniable fact that, throughout the time of a foul crop season, the sharecroppers could no longer pay back the money and could be in debt to the plantation proprietor. this could be a non-end cycle because it replaced into no longer common for the households to paintings off the debt and pay back the money from the present season. they could frequently fall right into a hollow of debt that replaced into impossible to dig out of. The households could no longer go away till they paid all bills. They have been manipulated by potential of the plantation proprietor. So now he have been given loose paintings that replaced into technically felony as they have been paid......they could purely could desire to pay it back to the plantation proprietor to pay off some debt. i understand i rambeled somewhat, yet back to the unique element. The unlawful immigrants are being manipulated by potential of the folk who employed them. it is way less high priced paintings, and the employees can paintings lengthy hours for little pay. Now are not getting me incorrect, unlawful immigrants thieve jobs from human beings. My stepdad misplaced many pastime opportunities to unlawful immigrants. yet that still does not make it suitable. it relatively is not any longer slavery as a results of fact they're being manipulated no longer pressured to paintings. The slaves have been pressured to paintings.

Black people should be paid full reparations for slavery in the 1800's just as soon as I get reparations from black Americans for the time my great-great-great grandfather spent in the Andersonville Prison trying to abolish slavery.
I think they owe my family a debt of gratitude.

You don't deserve anything. You need to get over it and get a job. Why don't you go to England and ask them for money, since that is where it started. Maby you ought to be grateful, you could still be in Africa in the bushes. Have you thought of that? If anything, we owe the Indians. We took their land.

I'm from Europe originally (ancestry wise) and we were slaves to the British government. Do you really believe that black Americans have any more claim than any other group from other countries. Heck! Wasn't the US founded by ALL FOREIGNERS???
I'm so tired of Americans whose ancestors were black to keep trying to win a war no one is fighting anymore. let's give Irish Americans money, and India Indians money, hey, let's just give every citizen except the poor amercing Indian, the only original Americans--money.
Geez...

Your ancestors should have caught the boat back to Liberia when it was offered after the Civil War if you feel like that.

Yep they should. But it's the slaves themselves who should get the money from their masters. Seeing as both parties are dead then there is no one to receive it or pay it out.

Slaves would be ashamed of the young black people today. They would weep. You have rights they only dreamed of and you can't be bothered to learn grammar or make something of yourself. Slaves saw their own children sold to other landowners and young black men today are referred to as baby daddies and don't even support their own children.
