Maybe we should pay reparations to the descendants of families that had to work in workhouses during the Victorian era. How about coal miners who often died early because of the conditions they worked. Many of the descendants of those families are still poor. If we go down this road where does it stop. Would the Arabs have to pay reparations to the descendants of their slaves.

To answer your question on Martin Luther King, why not just get his answer? He said: “…Our government was giving away millions of acres of land…not only did they give the land they built land grant collages with GOVERNMENT MONEY to teach them how to farm. NOT ONLY THAT. They provided county agents to further their expertise in farming. NOT ONLY THAT. They provided low interest rates in order to mechanize their farms. NOT ONLY THAT TODAY these people are receiving millions of dollars not to farm and they are the very people telling the BLACK MAN that he needs to lift himself up by his own boot straps…this is what we are faced with!

Slavery in the british colonies “ended” in 1834. The payouts to enslavers and their descendants ended in 2015. So, they’ve been paying “reparations” to the descendants of enslavers for almost 200 years after slavery ended all while denying reparations to the formerly enslaved and their descendants using all kinds of hypocritical arguments, as we see here.

Why? Because a debt is a debt!! If I owed $1,000,000 in taxes in 1980 and the IRS doesn’t catch up to me until 2023, I’m paying $1,000,000 PLUS 43 years of interest! People are ok with this because we know the punishment for evading taxes. Why are we upset when it’s the other way around? The value of 40 acres and a mule in 1865 was about $4000. Today it’s worth around $200,000 give or take. That doesn’t even include the wealth that could have been gained over this period of time. Generational wealth passed down.

And to add insult to injury the people of Haiti had to pay the French slaveowners after winning their revolution. Besides, slavery is only the tip of harm where restitution is needed.

Sorry slavery was backward and not very profitable. Secondly go cry to the Africans who sold the slaves in the first place .

perhaps the British government should get the money back from the slave owners to pay reparations to their subjects (of the crown).

Should the Government get the money back from the slave owners

Reparations for past dirty deeds in our ancestries should NEVER be made. Full stop.

past dirty deeds that's a lovely way it was not dirty deeds it was a crime as just as the jewish community have put the generals in prison even when they were 80, 90 years old the same applies here.. Slavery is the only thing white people don't want to take credit for.

Their own African leaders won't pay and they sold them all in to slavery in the first place.

@@ianreid agreed. The blacks sold their own people into slavery. They should be shouldering at least half the blame for the slave trade and the atrocities done by white people. Instead of carrying on bringing forward all the hatred (and they had reason to hate I believe), they should be focusing on their freedom (and they do have more than we do) and start working towards a better life. We all have to. I think slavery is one of the worst abominations of our history. The whites fought a war to free those slaves. We’ve had over two or three hundred years to properly integrate. No matter how hard we try the blacks won’t let t happen. Yes it has been very difficult for everyone concerned. But they’ve got to learn from our history and let it go. Otherwise what’s the use in living without all this pain and hatred. I think the words racist and racism should be banned from our language. Oh, and I’m white.

You could give them trillions tomorrow but I guarantee they will be back for more within five years .

Not if under agreement but for the agreement to be valid our people must agree with it as being the solution.

MLK was talking about how america ole us land 2 years before he departed from us....MLK was also talk redistribute the pain how we should be owning our on business

Why is this even a discussion, did they discuss it with the Jews, or Japanese or the slave owners? When it comes to race relations with black people its always a discussion but nothing ever gets done!

This is just ridiculous now . Enough of this victimhood mentality 😒

Black people were not the only people to be enslaved!

I recall back in 1972 when I belonged to a theater group heavily influenced by Marxism as so many theater groups throughout America were back then, and most likely still are. And I recall a specific conversation I had with a co-director. She explained that Americans are too spoiled, too selfish and too stupid to ever do the right thing and vote in a socialist government. And then she explained how when the cultural Marxists figured that out, they planned to enter all our institutions as bureaucratic, unelected managers and alter the policies of those institutions to conform to their revolutionary Marxist agenda, to radically alter America into a socialist state through those institutions, and the Department of Education reveals their radical success, and lo and behold, they now got the military, CIA and FBI. THAT was the successful first stage, capturing all our institutions. The 2nd stage was developing a deadly political weapon based on false claims of racism, turning America into a nation corrupted by radical racist division when, in fact, America had been heroic in dismantling at least 95% of racism in America, until the Dems started jacking up false claims of racism across all political fields. THAT was the 2nd stage. You figure out what the 3rd stage is. But one aspect of it is certain: dismantling our Constitution piecemeal, as they are already active in carrying out. And here’s some pertinent info on that Leftist front Media will neve reveal: In 1968 I read all the literature produced by the Leader of the Black Muslims in America (much of what Ali got indoctrinated into accepting until Malcolm X freed him from that rabid racist indoctrination), the Honorable Elijah Mohammed. Much of it was educating Blacks on “real Black history” where he would explain that all Whites are devils born that way because a mad scientist millennia ago had performed an experiment of splicing human genes with the genes of a pig, resulting in the creation of Whites. This phenomenon was the birth of Black racism, and Muhammed, and now the Dem Party, argue this is not racism because it’s a racism defending oneself against racism, nullifying the racist aspect of Black racism. But we all know in our heart of hearts what Gertrude Stein revealed, that racism is racism is racism. But the Dems didn’t and don’t want to accept that fact. They saw how quickly Muhammed became wealthy and powerful and controlling the minds of multi-thousands of followers, and they wanted in, and that’s why racism became a permanent weapon used by Dems, even when racism doesn’t exist, which is now 99.9 percent of the time. Here’s what we don’t talk about: When someone suffers from a mental illness like racism that has afflicted them, their parents, their siblings, friends and associates, and the prognosis makes clear how difficult it would be for them to be cured, that it might take decades with a fierce dedication of being honest with themselves on the genesis of the illness and why it was allowed to spread, causing massive suffering and murders. That’s the Democratic Party’s problem in essence. The Dem Party was always, in essence, a dedicated party of racist leadership because they never really examined in depth, and at length, their racism. They became addicted to the disease of racism and benefitted from it because, although racism is a deadly disease for those they persecute and enslave, it helped to make them rich and powerful, especially powerful, for even a poor White could freely dominate with cruelty and even kill a person of color and be protected, actually justified by the Dem legal system, and when the sheets were pulled away from Dem leadership faces-being found out, what they feared and still fear most-they created Jim Crow. What’s changed? Things at the surface changed, no doubt; but what of the Dem heart that moves the mind that ends in action taken? I’ll explain one thing they did that reveals the etiology of their corruption, their inherent, never-dealt-with racism that is still firmly intact. Why would they deal with it when it is the fundamental source for their wealth and power? Here’s one of many examples that prove this point: President Roosevelt during the Great Depression was advised the bedrock of American culture, the Nuclear Family, was under serious assault from within. Men en masse were leaving their homes, hitting the roads, hitchhiking or jumping freight trains to get to where the work was, and then sending back money to their wives and children. And these men would sometimes be away for years; and in the data Roosevelt read, his singular concern was for those men on the road seeking work who were also seeking prostitutes to fend off their loneliness in being separated from the existential comfort of their wives and children, and widespread cases were reported of men transmitting syphilis to their wives upon returning home. And their wives, after stretches of loneliness, started seeking nuptial comfort from other men. THIS is the origin of the Welfare State. It was Roosevelt’s serious attempt at saving the Nuclear Family. He wasn’t looking at color. He was looking at the complex dynamics of Family and how it is the cornerstone of every successful culture, what every anthropologist knew until the Dems took over all our universities and began to war against the Nuclear Family as Marx advised, but had the good sense to keep their own nuclear families firmly intact, what reveals the Dems’ utter hypocrisy right from the beginning of their cultural Marxist assault on the dispossessed, creating a not-so-disguised newly contrived Slave Urban-City System, using the Welfare System to do just that, mostly to keep getting the votes from impoverished Blacks, and the Blacks who agreed to support this system (political House _______) would be paid off with fully paid-for college degrees at the best universities and a guaranteed good life after leaving those universities. This is also the origin of Black race hustlers supporting the Dem Slave Masters (the powerful White Liberal Leadership of the Dem Party), like Al Sharpton, Maxine Watters and Don Lemmon, always jacking up racism in every second as they learned from Elijah Muhammed, to keep their true motives hidden, wiping out the frontal lobes of their followers with searing racist rhetoric. That’s a familiar tactic of Dems, no doubt. And the proof is in the pudding exactly how the Dems weaponized the Welfare State to keep Blacks in line as permanent Dem voters: Roosevelt created the Welfare State to save the Nuclear Family, but when weaponized by racist Dems post-Great Depression, they would use the Welfare State to destroy Black Nuclear Families, robbing entire Black communities of the fundamental strength of a strong nuclear family. And even while Dems were intentionally, systematically destroying Black Nuclear Families through Welfare, they kept protecting and strengthening their own nuclear families. To accomplish this, Dem leadership simply made it a condition that Black women would get support from their State husband-daddy ONLY if they promised never to cheat, to not ever let another husband-daddy into their home. If they did, it would be the end of the relationship-no more money, dammit! The Dem leadership were in fact using Blacks in an experiment involving the implementation of Stalin’s model for dismantling the “oppressive nuclear family construct” used by patriarchal oppressors to stomp on and suffocate the freedom of women and children. This involved first and foremost taking over K-12 Education, as well as controlling all capital flow to keep Blacks impoverished and dependent on Welfare for survival, excepting those Blacks who support the newly devised Slave System, the Al Sharpton’s, the Jesse Jacksons, the Maxine Watters and Don Lemmons in service to keep jacking up racism as the only means Dems have to emotionally hide what they have always been up to in keeping Blacks in servitude, especially when they are needed to commit rampant violence against property and innocent people to achieve the ends planned by Dem leaders through that violence, and Kamala bailing these nihilists out speaks clearly what the Dem-instigated violence means: a direct assault on our Constitutional Republic that was once held together by the Rule of Law, what Dems have obviously been dismantling since Trump became president, and there is no turning back for the Dems. They are now in the open. They have revealed what they are up to in destroying America, starting with Blacks after completing their first task of destroying Black nuclear families, the Dems proceeding to their 2nd major assault: taking over K-12 education and making sure Black children never get an education, knowing a K-12 education is the 2nd most powerful path to true freedom. Now consider this: President Johnson gave the Dems an open check to solve the problems of Black impoverishment. So far the Dems have spent $23,000,000,000,000 to clothe, feed, house and educate Black children out of poverty, and yet they still keep using that money instead to elevate themselves into upscale suburban homes with 2 Teslas in every garage. And Biden just gave them trillions more, which will lead to bankrupting America, what Dems want, the only way forward to implement their socialist regime that will save the planet by obliterating human beings, starting with Blacks, of course.
