and hundreds of years of continued exploitation of labor of the African people and their children. The question extends to the children of the former slavemasters and their children and "white people" in general who received benefits which was based on "white skin privilege",benefits which were denied to Africans because of the absents of "white skin".

No. We've been free long enough to make it on our own, a sudden infusion of free money will probably only make things worse. Look how many lottery winners have had their lives ruined. By the way, why did you only mention europeans? Why not the africans who sold my ancestors in the first place?

Anyone who was an actual slave and suffered should get reparations. Hmmm, not a single person alive has suffered from slavery. Guess that means quit your whining and STFU. By the way, you may wanna read some history. It was blacks who sold blacks from other tribes into slavery, and there are more benefits and priviledges available to blacks than whites.

I think that we better move on, try to forgive each other and live in peace. Asking for reparation only cause more trouble and hatred.

No.

Otherwise, where does it stop? Examples:
So-and-so invaded my country in 1100 A.D. I want to be paid back for that.
Egypt enslaved the Jews in blah-blah-blah B.C. I want to be paid back for that.

Sure, why not? I bet a lot of white people, like myself, would benefit from this.
Although, I think doing this would cripple the economy.
So, maybe not then!
