This is ignorant. Some Blacks owned slaves. Many other nationalities have also served basically as slaves or indentured servents. How about indentured textile workers who burned in fire in unsafe buildings? MANY immigrants arrived AFTER slavery ended - inculding Blacks ! How in God's name could you even figure out who is owed and who should pay on such a large scale? Injustice occurs to ALL people. If "the nation" owes any "group" it should be the indigenous people. But how many have not fallen in love with someone of another race and no longer 100% indigenous. The same is true of every other race. So.

@22:20 I disagree with Coleman Hughes about the statutes of limitations. You can't casually compare a mass crime such as slavery to any other corruption committed in 1865. I disagree with his opinion as a reason to use the statutes of limitations to oppose reparations. Why? Back then the legal and political fields of the country were racist and corrupt as a whole. Communities, government, and individuals helped perpetuate racism which in turn helped suppressed and delay reparations in a stubborn, arrogant, and nasty way. So casually saying a mass crime such as slavery and racism is past the statutes of limitations in legal terms you got to ponder some things. First of all, it's the SCALE of the crime on a mass level we are addressing and also the perpetuation of that crime after slavery was abolished. Even though it was abolished, crimes against the dignity of those people were in a perpetual state of racial tension and distress that lasted for generations. Also, we are addressing the restorative nature, that was deliberately delayed by white supremacists (past and present). If a man can't see It was their intent to use the statutes of limitations to get away with this crime and avoid paying for the use of free slave labor...then that man is a blind man to the subversive tactics white supremacists use on black Americans several times over generations.

@@user-gu8fg7ft5b Even if you were right about the government not being liable for slavery (because it says so in the amendment)...It would be a fickle contradictory arrangement. Why? Because if you say that African Americans were awarded citizenship, then What about the OTHER AMENDMENTS that were not honored by the American federal government in the treatment of ADOS after slavery? I say not honored as they allowed things to happen and sat idly by as white mobs, racist individuals, and white supremacist groups, at state and local levels treated black people like garbage and were never brought to justice. There are too many amendments that were broken, or personal boundaries of African Americans that were crossed by white supremacists and bigots that governed with legal and political power. Remember Jim Crow? That was a shameful incident in history that got your opinion looking like a contradiction. Many other things were done to African Americans during, but specifically, AFTER slavery that was unconstitutional and contradicted some of the Amendments based on ADOS treatment in America. Even if you were half right about the 14th amendment, Jim Crow laws and racist horrific treatment of black Americans AFTER slavery was unconstitutional and didn't honor all the other amendments. You know it. The point you made about the statutes of limitations that are somehow in section 4 as a clause to keep America from being responsible to pay the debt of slavery only proves my point that I disagree with Coleman Hughes in the video above. American government back then intentionally put that there for a reason...Yet when it comes to paying reparations or compensation to other groups of people in America that went through distress such as The Japanese, Native Americans, and other groups there is no problem. Why are Black Americans getting these delays to be compensated for their legitimate hardships? Therefore, reparations would be owed for slavery and incidents after slavery as they are treatments that targeted the humanity and livelihood of black Americans.

Well said!

Slavery has been a universal institution for thousands of years as far back as you can trace human history. And what we are looking at is if slavery is something that happened to one race of people in one country when in fact the spread of it was around the world. In 1776, which is when Adam Smith published The Wealth of Nations as well as the United States got started,he said that Western Europe is the only place in the world where there is no slavery. And even the Western Europeans had vast numbers of slaves in the western hemisphere but not in Western Europe itself. And so if you’re going to have reparations for slavery it’s going to be the greatest transfer of wealth back and forth because the number of whites, for example, who were enslaved in North Africa by the Barbary pirates exceeded the number of Africans enslaved in the United States and in the American colonies before that put together. But nobody is going to North Africa to ask for reparations because nobody is going to be fool enough to give it to them. These people have to take a chill pill, digest the facts and realities, and move on instead of blaming all their troubles on a stupid idea that someone owes them anything for picking cotton for free.

Why haven't all the tradition courses that were taught in public schools been reinstituted, knowing how vital they are to the process of producing well-rounded healthy members of society? Where is the national public campaign to stress the importance of education? Why is even parenting been instituted as a course in schools. It is the most difficult jobs perform, certainly a most important one. Surely, we all can agree on what the basics of good parenting are irrespective of our varying beliefs and ideologies.

very dangerous ground, there are many groups that could also demand reparations...it should be a case by case, such as the beach property in Southern California...Russell City residents should check to see if the property was illegally seized and if so then seek restitution & resolution

Then let those groups make their case for reparations. There has still not even been an official apology for slavery and it's racist aftermath.

I think it’s disgraceful for people that are so far from understanding,knowing or being directly involved with what these men and women suffered is insanity. They need to talk to the African sellers for money. But to ask for money for the suffering and sacrifice of men and women in a time of ignorance is ignorant. With that said, eminent domain is socialism and i totally support payment for this thievery, but for slavery. Sorry but no, talk to the African governments for selling their own people.

Even if you just calculate lost wages, there is clearly money owed. If you worked at McDonald's for minimum wage, you know you would demand that they pay you your last check when you quit, right? So what would a "field hand" be paid in 1864? Now, multiply that by a lifetime for their work. So a ridiculously low annual wage, multiplied by 60 or 70. The lifespan can be determined by census records and genelogical studies. Honestly, even if you didn't add interest and punitive damages for the cruel physical punishment visited upon those enslaved workers, those lost wages are a sum of money that no one can dispute. In a country as wealthy as ours, an apology without a monetary award is hollow and insulting.

Coleman Hughes I disagree with your argument. The opposite of an apology is a thank you. So if an apology with some symbolic significance would be "honorable gesture" and that would be "enough" then why were the Japanese who were harmed paid payments? Was that hush money or some sort of "symbolic gesture"? So as for a 150 year expiration or statue of limitation...BS and a thank you has not been given as convict leasing still exists. Life chances for the American Descendants of Slaves is no where near that of white American who's ancestor did not own slaves at all but benefited indirectly just by being white in America that's called white privilege which many white people disagree that they have. Redlining still exists and there is no consequences for it. So Coleman Hughes your argument is just what white America want you a younger black man to share because you make a strong case in their opinion. Also, I have issue with a 26 year old African American/Puerto Rican has the lived experience to have his opinions shed light on this matter at all. That is just extreme disrespectful to those of us who have lived experiences of the results of the direct impact of slavery, Jim Crow, and have specific justice claim in California as well as linage based out of the south as well. So no, the consequence have NOT been a symbolic thank you but rather oppression and de facto segregation continues. De facto segregation was a term used during the 1960s racial integration efforts in schools, to describe a situation...subjectguides.library.american.edu/c.php?g=1025915&p=7749743

Anyone who advocates reparations needs to articulate exactly what objective method is to be used to determine what each person owes and to whom. Furthermore, this method needs to be justified in moral terms. Without that no coherent national policy can be decided or voted upon. However, if you ask this question to anyone who advocates reparations you will get squirming, evasions, and no answer because there is no answer. Advocates of reparations are intellectually dishonest.
