NEVER. The reparations program started in the LBJ administration. Trillions of dollars later we are on the verge of OUR nation collapsing and these losers want more. These lazy bums have lived on my white male tax dollars for decades. Say no to handouts.

Fuck that, no reparations ever.

I tend to disagree. If someone can prove to have been a slave and who their owner was then they could sue for damages to receive reparations. I wouldn't automatically dismiss such a case.

So all you have to do to get reparations is to be black and a couple hundred years old.

America needs to pay reparations for something the WORLD invented?

That is just stupid thinking!

You forgot you also have to sue the individual or group that enslaved you. So you have to be a couple hundred years old with proof you where enslaved, AND have a couple hundred year old slave owner to sue. Also who would be considered more at fault? The slave owner, the slave transporter, or the people who put you in slavery first? I would argue the initial person or group that captured and enslaved someone would be the primary defendant in any reparations lawsuit. So would you then have Blacks in the US suing Blacks in Africa?

But that would be a private lawsuit, not a government policy. There's a big difference.

Who captured blacks, and sold them all around the world. Who started doing that over a thousand years ago. Who themselves used slaves taken from weaker tribes, and killed millions because of tribalism. How many tribes in Africa have disappeared from the face of the earth because of what is genocide on a massive level. Who still engages in that practice of human bondage ??? Think hard. Even in the US during slavery how many free blacks (thousands) owned numerous slaves. The blacks created a market for slaves, and yet don't claim responsibility ? How self serving is that.

Liberals like to pretend that isn't happening now.

Because Obama’s actions made it possible.

Yep slavery was up and running in some parts of Africa and the ME before Obama.

But Obama destroyed Libya which under Gaddafi had the highest standard of living for all its citizens in all of Africa, if not much of the world.

Now Libya is a major slave trade hub for Africa and the ME. See how that works?

There are some Christian groups that are doing that today not just in Libya but throughout Africa.

One of the reasons Christians are being slaughtered in Africa by the way.

I wonder if the people in those pictures think America is racist?

I imagine they think the US is a monster for reducing Libya to rubble from once being the economic, medical and educational crown jewel of Africa.

I believe it is new. Gaddafi ran a tight ship and accomplished incredible things.

Or they just want to eat and don't give two shits about international politics.

If they are Libyans they care, if they come from some of the many African countries that Gaddifi helped, I bet they care as well.

"We waz kangs but somehow we ended up in America and want reparations."

I might be in favor of voluntary reparations, but it would first require better boarder security. People could take a one time reparations payment in exchange for revoking their US citizenship and moving back to their country of origin. Get your one time payment and GTFO. They could live like royalty over there until they were murdered or enslaved.

At least in Libya they cut their balls off so when they decide they have robots for cheaper they aren't stuck with them running around stabbing, raping, and shooting everyone.
