[QUOTE="Frederick, post: 3990637, member: 17825"] I'm Irish-American, still waiting for my reparations from the UK for all that potato famine nonsense. While we're at it, the Norwegians owe me money for that whole viking conquest thing, when my people were forced out of England by the vikings.....imagine the interest accrued on that one, since 1066.... Is it just black people that get the award, or only black people who were direct descendants of slavery....Lots of slave-rape back in the day, what's the percentage cutoff? are some >1% African-American white dudes gonna get some? Plenty of modern day immigrants from africa who've immigrated here since slavery ended in 1865.... What happens when u get ur millions from the .gov for the whole slavery thing, then you blow it all on booze, hookers or whatever, as tends to happen when people get large sums of cash unexpectedly... Will your progeny not be entitled to more monies from the .gov since daddy blew it all? Does that settle the issue forever-and-ever or a few decades from now will descendants of horrific past crimes want more money? No amount of reparation money is worth it for the descendants of black people....it will only embitter white people, and devalue their own success....Now everytime somebody sees a successful black person, they will assume it's because of the slavery reparations...it will breed resentment and drive a wedge between racial groups by selecting them out for special treatment....it will actually make their lives worse, not better.
