When are we getting our reparations?

Question

Whites have kept us down for 400 years and it's time we get what we're owed. When will we?

Answer 1

You arent owed anything, you did not suffer did you? White people of today weren't responsible for what happened are they? You dont deserve anything! To be honest you should be glad you dont live in poverty stuck Africa

Oh and another point, it was black Africans who began to sell people, it wasnt just white people who enslaved Africans, Arabs too were responsible, and after we outlawed it we stopped other people doing the same thing..

Answer 2

First, there is not a single former slave alive today. If there were they would certainly be due just compensation for their labor, but the ancestors of atrocities do not deserve compensation in any way. As a precedent for this point of view, from the last century, let us look at how the compensation of slave labor during the holocaust of World War II has been handled. The thousands of people that survived that inequity are being compensated by both the government of Germany and by the companies that gained from their forced labor, and rightfully so. But their children have no inherited right to collect for the uncompensated labor of their parents. Certainly the grandchildren and great grandchildren of American slaves never experienced the appalling life of slavery, and therefore, like the children of Jews and others enslaved in Germany 50 years ago, they have no claim for themselves.

Secondly, blacks do not have a monopoly on living in poverty in this country. According to the latest census data approximately 30 percent of blacks and whites live in poverty. Hispanics unfortunately have an even higher percentage living below the poverty line. All this current day poverty can not be attributed to a disgusting institution that was ended 150 years ago. It can however be attributed to present day governmental policy. There should be a monumental effort made by the government, at all levels, to get all Americans out of poverty, but a policy centered on only one race is just as wrong as slavery was.

Thirdly, slavery could not have existed without the complicity of black Africans who supplied most of the unfortunate humans that were sold into this dreadful condition. It was not just whites that kept this retched institution going for over 200 years. In addition, there were over 200,000 white Americans that paid the ultimate retribution during the Civil War, when they gave their lives to end slavery. The reparation debt owed to slaves was paid a long time ago when the North won the Civil War and freed them.

Answer 3

Would you prefer to be living where you do now, with access to a computer and I assume, everything else that is required for an enjoyable life, or back in Africa, where civil wars and poverty would make your life a great deal less comfortable? Had your ancestors not been brought here by the slave trade, you would be a great deal worse off (this statement written under the assumption that your ancestors were actually slaves).
