  1.  @MikeslyMontague  Have you ever received welfare, food stamps, subsidised housing, healthcare, or been a beneficiary of affirmative action. There's your reparations right there. At least in the US, you're not allowed to starve. Although, you might not be as lucky, if you were in Africa.
    61
  2.  @MrLTLB  Are Africans the only ones who were ever discriminated against in the USA? What about the other groups, who were denied equal treatment in the past. Aren't they eligible for some free stuff too?
    43
  3.  @ladynita7329 "get out of here!". Is that the best you've got? How is that a detailed argument, to persuade others that you deserve a handout?
    27
  4.  @22darkstarr  Your real claim for a handout. What makes YOU special?
    21
  5. Or a car rim store. Although, you'd probably get robbed blind by shoplifters "liberating" your stock for free.
    11
  6.  @Judy-gi6pp  So black people are the only ones to have ever been discriminated in the US?
    10
  7. It's like one big joke.
    9
  8.  @ladynita7329  U got nuthin'. That's the real problem.
    8
  9. Yes, that's where the word comes from. But of course, they get nothing.
    7
  10.  @dozhadeville444  It's not you're money either. You don't deserve a penny. Also, what do you mean by "your people"? Remember the phrase, "don't bite the hand that feeds you".
    5
  11.  @youknowwhat5664  Why would it be?
    5
  12.  @raynellwelch2792  And where would you be free, Africa? BTW, it's "you're" not "your".
    5
  13. Once that money was blown. Would the recipients ask for more?
    4
  14. The perpetual victim. Doomed to failure. If you want something, why not build it? Just like every other successful group has. You're living in the best time, in the land of opportunity. What more excuses have you got?
    4
  15.  @D4L_457  Really. Why. Or don't you know?
    4
  16.  @jessemarcel25  "Their land" Aboriginal never owned land. They were just hunter gatherers who roamed freely around the continent of Australia. The same as the native American tribes did.
    4
  17.  @youknowwhat5664  "Modern technology has been around for centuries". Not without a lot of hard effort, mostly in Europe and principally Britain. Do you think Europeans are the only people to have committed genocide or slavery against other? These were a fact of life, in all continents, as long as humans have existed. Modern weapon, just made the process more efficient. Luckily, thanks to the efforts of the British almost exclusively. The trade in humans around the globe, is now a thing of the past. Why did that particular country spend the equivalent of $1 trillion and many lives, eradicating that trade. The simple reason was that owing others as property, was simply abhorrent and immoral.
    4
  18.  @michaelpalombo850  You'd think that it was whyte people, who originally sold blaq people into slavery. It was actually other blaq people. So how much should Africa contribute to any reparations?
    4
  19.  @Wethepeople783 "everybody else has got reparations". Really. Who?
    4
  20. Prayers are a waste of time.
    4
  21.  @gregorywright9971  Do you want a cash handout or not? Billions of dollars are given in welfare every year, much to African Americans. What exactly do you want?
    3
  22. The solution is simple. The US National Debt is $35 Trillion. Why not just print another $15 Trillion, to bring the total up to a round $50 Trillion. The $15 Trillion can then just be given away. Does it matter if it makes the dollar worthless. At least everyone got their money, right?
    3
  23. That amount is zero, give or take a few cents.
    3
  24. And bigger rims for their cars.
    3
  25.  @jessemarcel25  "every indigenous group has concept of ownership". Wrong. Few, if any had the right to own land as a principle in the modern sense. Although, they might have had tribal areas, if they weren't too busy wandering around. "Even today this concepts can be seen through the signing of treaties". They never had treaties of any kind, until recent times. One primary reason, if you're talking about North America or Australia, being that none had developed a written language.
    3
  26. you're
    3
  27. You just illustrated how ridiculous and unworkable the whole idea is.
    3
  28.  @diontebyrd "reparations are for people whose lineage can be traced back to slavery days in this country not for immigrants". Best of luck with that one, dude. How are you going to work out who qualifies, and how much they qualify for. Also, what about those that think they qualify, but are rejected? The lawsuits for discrimination would be never-ending.

  29. When YOU want something for free. Somebody who's not responsible has to pay.

  30.  @ArtTaivoMane  You gotta earn respect right? You also can't just take things for free. You have to work for them.

  31. Prayers are useless and don't work.

  32.  @candicefarrel472  "Am from the caribbean from what i know the caribbean if fighting for it from england the royals." What? Can you write that in English?
    2
  33. Why don't you be the change you want to see, and stop asking for handouts from other. Every people had to start from nothing and build. What's your excuse?
    2
  34. Home country? What happens if their ancestors came from different continents, let alone countries. Also, in many cases, the countries we know now, didn't even exist then.
    2
  35.  @MikeslyMontague  What's your excuse for still being poor today?
    2
  36. Firstly, it might help if you knew how to spell the word.
    2
  37. What. So you can waste in on useless goods?
    2
  38.  @YOUR-WORD-IS-YOUR-BOND  Why not read the rest of them. You might learn something. Especially, those that explain why this is unfair and also unworkable.
    2
  39. Good point. However, at the same time. There should also be an immediate cessation of the $ billions paid out in welfare, to African-Americans by the US government every year. Are you down with that?
    2
  40. What do mean by "indigenous"? Do you mean those descended from the Asians, who just happened to cross over to the Americas, before anybody else got there. All people in the Americas had ancestors who travelled there at some point.
    2
  41.  @Alexandrias.Washington  So you know "millions" of black farmers? How many have you met, or been to their farm? If there's millions, you must know many.
    2
  42.  @CynthiePompey  What isn't true. Do you even know?
    2
  43.  @sh80611  Good. There's too much bad happened to many groups of people in the past, to give any group special treatment. It's only because they live in the US, where free stuff is available. If they lived in a poor country. They'd be too busy trying to survive, to bother about what might have been the fate of some distant ancestor.
    2
  44. One year on. I guess we'll never know.
    2
  45.  @ruthsherman2507  So you want to live in freezing cold and dark this winter? Let us know if you're still alive next spring.
    2
  46.  @mr.hansholmes2367  Correct.
    2
  47. If reparations are paid. Will the billions paid to blaqs every year in welfare, be deducted from any payouts?
    2
  48.  @youknowwhat5664  "Is your name your birthright?" Birthright to what?
    2
  49. ​ @XaldinX  "well know but both the Chinese and Italians received reparations for being discriminated against". If it's "well know", when did Chinese and Italians get handouts for discrimination?
    2
  50.  @wr606  "that you can give your all (physical, mental, spiritual & etc...) to the enemy, regardless of their ethnicity; nevertheless, they will always hate you and want you to be forever submissive to them." And just whom or what is the enemy, either real or imagined? Every person today, is responsible for the decisions they make. So why blame others for your shortcomings?
    2
  51. @JYoung-fl8fc They had already been captured by other Africans, before any Europeans even got involved. So Africa is the first stop for hand-outs. Best of luck with that.

  52.  @Lori2540  But who claims more of it per person?

  53. You never had any land to give back.

  66. Britain stole NOTHING from India. It GAVE modern technology, democracy, the rule of law, good governance. If you want reparations, first give back all you were given by Britain.

  69. Maybe, when the European settlers came, you should have already had bigger guns than them, and told them to phuq off.

  70. The American dollar was backed by gold. Now, it's just a piece of paper backed by nothing, except a mountain of debt.

  71. Maybe because they're not capable of generating wealth for themselves?

  74.  @Shng275  "Ramesses III" Really? Descended from somebody who lived on the other side of Africa, thousands of miles away. Divided by jungle and desert.
    1
  75.  @Shng275  "Africans crossed the ocean to the Americas, hundreds of years before Columbus." Are you serious, or joking? What evidence is there for that? West Africans are one of the few peoples to never have travelled anywhere, especially across a large ocean. The only time they ever reached the Americas, was in the hold of a European ship. As for your DNA results, they are meaningless. They are just approximations as to where some of your ancestors may have come from, possibly thousands of years ago. Also, why is your non-European heritage less important than your African. Is that because the European part, isn't asking for a handout? Are you also part of the "one drop" club. Does somebody with 1% West African DNA, get the same handout as somebody with 100%?
    1
  76.  @Danceeric1  Do you know how many people have African heritage in South America. The Spanish and Portuguese, were bigger sl@vers than anyone else, except the Arabs.

  77.  @zaethebitch849  17 trillion is the current size of the US national debt. Doubling that would make great economic sense. Why doesn't the Federal Reserve not just print off some paper IOU's called money, to cover these supposed reparations? Job done.
    1
  78.  @micon9460  Any handouts would be blown on goods people can live without. Try turning a 1000% profit in today's market. You're more likely to lose most of your money.

  84. Americans are ALL immigrants. So what are you talking about. Also, most came with nothing, and built lives for themselves, WITHOUT asking for handouts.

  85.  @taechasingit7991  Do you think everyone else would spend it wisely. There's too much materialism in the World today. Maybe, you should think twice about opening a dispensary. So many pharmacies are being robbed blind near the hoods, that they're just shutting up shop.

  87. You already have Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton and and Louis Farrakhan. Who else do you need?

  88. There are no black families anymore. At least not in the traditional sense. When black women married the government, and made fathers redundant, it was downhill all the way for the Afro-American male and the black family.
    1
  89. So both side of your family were ensl@ved by other Africans ad sold on . So you DO have a double claim from the descendants of those Africans. How soon do you think they'll pay you?

  90. Singapore and Hong Kong were also victims of colonization. Why aren't they asking for reparations too?

  91.  @nwatson2773  You are already being paid. The US government pays out $ billions every year in welfare to African-Americans.

  98.  @xocolatl3682  Oh. So they get two lots of handouts do they?
    1
  99.  @xocolatl3682  And do those who came from South America or Mexico, deserve handouts too? Also, what sort of violence do you advocate?

  100. A handout because your mother worked to provide for a family? What about people who worked down mines for a dollar week?
    1
  101. Are you the only one who had ancestors who were agricultural labourers? In the colonial era, most farm labour was provided by indentured servants from Great Britain—white men and women, even children, who exchanged four to seven years of hard labor for passage to the colonies. Some of these workers were recruited through trickery or force and were kept and sold as property, with few rights. Do the descendents of these people, deserve reparations too?

  105.  @tovah7173  And what happened before your people were shipped to the Americas. They were captured and sold by other Africans. Are you going to ask for money from Africa too. Best of luck with that one!

  110.  @danamounski  Jamaica had immigrants from many nations. How would you determine who gets the handout?
    1
  111.  @traviscarter1023  Ukraine is at war, fighting a bigger bully. The money is mostly in the form of weapons and other aid. So the Ukraine can fight the Russians, Not money to give to Ukrainian civilians. Is the USA , directly at war? Not unless you include cities, like Chiraq, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Baltimore.

  112.  @traviscarter1023  OK, so you want the 40 acres and a mule, that you might have been promised? What are you going to do with them. Farm in the inner city? What percentage of farmers in the USA are black, anyway? So you could sell the mule, but what demand is there for them today, when everybody with a farm has tractors. If you did sell it, you might get a few dollars. But again, there ain't much use for mules in the city. What about the 40 acres? You might get a few dollars for that too. Firstly, because you're not going to farm it. Secondly, as all land in the USA is already owned by someone, you're going to have to take it from someone, and what are you going to do, if they point a gun in your face, and tell you no? Thirdly, a viable farm, needs to be at least four hundred acres, which is ten times what you're going to take from someone. Fourthly, what happens if the 40 acres you get your hands on it, just a patch of desert. What are you going to grow there? You can make the desert fertile, but it would take millions of dollars to do that. Personally, the reparations you were promised, are probably more of a burden than a benefit. How does that sound?

  113.  @paulcoates4458  $200. How much weed, rims or Nikes are you going to buy with that? Yes, the families of the fallen soldiers, deserve it more. However, most of them were not the right colour.
    1
  114.  @japhya0378  One way would be to test the DNA of those asking for handouts. However, that poses more problems than it does solutions. How much of one ethnicity would you have to be to quality for the handout?

  115.  @BobSmith-pi3fe  What's handouts to Israel, got to do with handouts to black Americans?
    1
  116.  @WecanWinJesse  Your jezus doesn't exist. So best of luck with that one, buster. Israelites. Are you joking? Your ancestors came from West Africa, thousands of miles away from from modern day Israel. They had no connection with that area, whatsoever. They had their own religions, which had nothing to do with them. You've just read some old book, and included yourself in it. When in reality, it has nothing to do with you. "The atrocities of the Israelites happened all over". What atrocities did you commit? If you're waiting for some kind of "payback". Don't hold your breath, because you ain't gonna get it. You never have, and you never will.

  117.  @Alexandrias.Washington  I already addressed this in a previous comment I made in this thread. However, you obviously failed to read it. However, as I'm the generous type, I will repeat it, just for you. "OK, so you want the 40 acres and a mule, that you might have been promised? What are you going to do with them. Farm in the inner city? What percentage of farmers in the USA are black, anyway? So you could sell the mule, but what demand is there for them today, when everybody with a farm has tractors.

  123.  @YOUR-WORD-IS-YOUR-BOND  This is turning into the long goodbye. Also shouting doesn't mean what you say has any more gravitas. It's only the veracity of ideas being conveyed by those words, which are of importance. "WHAT I SAID WAS "FACTS". So far, the only relevant sentence you've so far written is the following. "We all are the same and weren't under the same bs... so we shouldn't be paid by the same entity." And even then, it's devoid of any "FACTS". Are you able to make clear what those "FACTS" are, or not?

  124.  @YOUR-WORD-IS-YOUR-BOND  Don't you know what writing in all capitals is considered the written equivalent to shouting? It has nothing to do with speaking. Why not search Google for, "writing in all caps"? The only valid reason for typing in all capital letters, would be those who suffer from sight problems, such as dyslexia or dysgraphia. Do you suffer from either of these?
    1
  125.  @YOUR-WORD-IS-YOUR-BOND  Google is just a search engine. A way to convey "FACTS". Other search engines are available, and they will all state the same "FACT". Do you have a problem with literacy, or not?

  146.  @youknowwhat5664  It's still free stuff, to people who are owed nothing. The Aboriginals, never invented, built or owned anything in 50,000 years. Which is a long time not to improve technologically. The Australian government, just gave them some of it's resources, so they could live a modern life.
    1
  147.  @youknowwhat5664  It depends what you classify as modern technology? The Industrial Revolution is where rapid, sustained change in science and medicine first occurred. Also, genocide and slavery were common during all times and places, wherever humans were in contact with each other.
    1
  148.  @jessemarcel25  "every indigenous tribes fought and for land". Wrong! They may have fought as a group, for control over certain areas. However, they never had the modern concept of individual property rights. Of course, indigenous groups "owned" things. Just because a group migrated to an area first, does that mean that they "own" that part of the World, or the lands that they travelled through. The Americas were empty of humans, until the end of the last Ice Age. When environmental changes, made it possible for those who just happened to be living near the Bering Strait. To be able to follow the newly exposed coastline from North East Asia into North America. Of course it wasn't until one thousand years ago, that Europeans developed ocean going ships, which allowed the Vikings to discover the continent of America from the East. As for signing treaties, this is a modern concept. As most indigenous and aboriginal peoples, had not developed written language. Imagine trying to make a claim on anything, if you have no ability to record that in written form.
    1
  149.  @jessemarcel25  "not all tribes had a written language at the time, but it still didn't stop them from learning how to read and write in english or some other european language". You've been in a location for millennia, in the case of indigenous North Americans, and fifty thousand years in the case of aboriginal Australians, and you haven't developed a way to write down your thoughts and ideas. How does that happen? "Also, i would like to see your citation on whether native americans had concept to ownership of land in relation to land ownership as a principle of modern sense?" Where did I say that they did "own" land in the modern concept of ownership by individuals? My contention was the opposite. Maybe you have evidence that they did own land as defined in a modern sense?

All that welfare did, was to make them dependent of the Australian state for survival. And the government is going to oblige, as it thinks it has some kind of debt to pay these people.

  176. Wrong! The Constitution contains only two sections dealing with monetary issues. Section 8 permits Congress to coin money and to regulate its value. Section 10 denies states the right to coin or to print their own money. The framers clearly intended a national monetary system based on coin and for the power to regulate that system to rest only with the federal government. The delegates at the Constitutional convention rejected a clause that would have given Congress the authority to issue paper money. They also rejected a measure that would have specifically denied that ability to the federal government (Hammond, 92). Although the Constitution does not state that the federal government has the power to print paper currency, the Supreme Court in McCulloch vs Maryland (1819) ruled unanimously that the Second Bank of the United States and the banknotes it issued on behalf of the federal government were Constitutional.

  205.  @tracysharp1361 "white people have always received this and received even more !" Maybe, that's because they founded the country and laid down it's laws, principles, values and society. They put in all the initial work. They planned and built the cities, towns, and also created the industries which caused the economy to develop and grow.. So why shouldn't they have got back all that they put in, and more? "communities they burnt down". Which communities. Name some? "schools they burned down". Which schools? "black businesses". Which businesses? "the welfare system has benefited more whites". And why shouldn't it? Whites were the ones working and paying their taxes. So they deserved something back, if times got tough. Since the 1960's, many black women have married the government, becoming reliant on it for support and many black men are now redundant. And we know what happens to children, who grow up without two parent families.

  206.  @elysiyah3364  If you paid into the system. Of course, you should get some back, if you're in need and deserving of help. Japanese Americans did get some compensation for the losses suffered during WWII, but it took them forty years to get it, and then it was only paid to those who were still alive. Not those who had since died. When were Jews compensated by the US government? After World War II, the Indian Claims Commission formed to compensate Amerindian tribes. It paid $1.3 billion dollars to 176 tribes, which only amounted to less than $1000 per individual.

  246.  @HiphopisaGIF  What's Haiti got to do with claims for handouts in the US? Billions are being paid out to black US citizens every year. According to Judge Joe Brown, some families he had in his courtroom had never had a job for multiple generations. Almost back to the 60's. When LBJ made the government the daddy, not the biological father. The same man who said he'd have "n"s voting blue for the next two hundred years. And making people reliant on the government for money, is the best way to do it. Why work hard and create wealth, when having as many babies as possible, with no fathers needed in the home is now the way to live.

  259.  @D4L_457  Maybe, you should do just a little research, before you make any further comments, relating to this subject. Slavery was banned in England nearly one thousand years ago. It was Africans who took other Africans and sold them to traders. Britain was the last country to have it's people involved in the trade. It was also the first to ban the global trade of humans as property. This cost her billions of pounds and many lives of her sailors. And why did Britain end the trade? She did it because it was immoral.

  260. If you want to be pedantic. Africa was their continent of origin. So why not ask for a handout from the descendants of the Africans who first ensl@ved them. Although, how much do you think you're going to get from them? The answer is not one thin dime.

However they're the ones usually in charge of crime-ridden, drug-addled, hell-scape cities. Maybe, they should spend more time fixing , what they are in charge of. Instead of lecturing other's about what they don't. "those who were promised 40 acres and a mule". And that what they should get, if anything. 40 acres and a mule. They weren't promised any money, which is subject to inflation. Physical objects, aren't. Although, instead of land and a mule. maybe, they could have an equivalent cash sum in today's money? The cost of 40 acres of farm land and a mule today, can easily be calculated.
