I am so tired of hearing about slavery reperations, it was well over a hundred years ago get over it. If you spent as much time educating your self as you do looking for a meal ticket you would live the American dream. If you were personaly enslaved i am sorry and email me for you check. If not please shut up.
The real root of rasicm now days is not the whites wanting to keep the blacks down, we are just tired of all the complaning. Slavery was a terrible thing but christ it was along time ago, and if it would of never happened you would be in Africa right now chasing zebras with a spear with a bad case of aids. Please dont let what happened to you distant relatives be in vain..... get an education and live the american dream. whites dont hate blacks we are just tired of being called racist....what do you think

Its a shame that people keep bringing up the issue of slavery. None of us in this generation were or are slaves or slave owners. White people don't owe me a thing I owe it to myself, blacks owe it to themselves to get educations and jobs and stop looking for handouts from a government that no longer outright oppresses us. I get offended by Affirmative Action and welfare the notion that blacks need a helping hand because we're less capable.... its an insult. Blacks that try to get out of the negativity are called white washed and are accused of trying to be white.... Holding each other down...

I agree, but here's what most folks black or any other don't realize. All races are actually slaves and have been since man was designed. The concept of slavery does not originate from humans it originates from other more older technologically advanced civilizations. Humans are not on top of the food chain and are used much in the same way as humans use other lower animals except on a more sophisticated level. Blacks just happen to be the 1st race created as manual slave laborers, but the rest of the races are or have been used in much of the same way throughout history. Today we are all what are called economic slaves, same concept disquised in a different package. This may seem far fetch and crazy sounding but do a little research and you may find that the history an science we have been taught have for the most part are lies, designed to keep the sheeple from knowing what is really going in order to maintain control and dominance. If anyone dares to look outside of the box that they have been locked into they might see a much bigger picture. If you really think about it, if humans have not been pitted against one another based on all the divisions especially race, then humans to me would not have a care of what others look like, but how they act. No matter what type of body you currently operate you are not your body you are a spirit using the body you where born into to play and experience human life on earth. Below may shed some light on other influences that control and manipulate how asleep and the unaware see this reality. Keep and open mind and check these videos out, you may find something that will answer alot of questions you may thought upon on your own. This stuff may disturb you but if you can handle learning a different perspective than what you have been fed, it may liberate your enslaved mind.

I am sick of it. It will never happen and it shouldn't happen. There is no way to determine exactly who owes and who would be qualified to receive. You can't make all tax payers pay, then you would have blacks paying blacks and that doesn't make since. You can't have just the white people pay because less than 5% of white families had slaves so it wouldn't be fair to most of them. Also you can't just pay it to all black people because not all of them come from a slave background. The whole thing is to confusing to ever work out so they should just drop it and get past it.

I find it funny that people are complaining about this like blacks are constantly bringing it up, yet from what I can see on here it's white people that keep talking about it. I know I don't care about slavery or reparations and I'm sure I'm not the only black person who feels that way.

I don't recall my grandparents bringing many slaves with them when they immigrated from Sweden 75 years ago.Perhaps there were several hidden in their steamer trunk but i doubt it
