@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?

@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.

That's my two penn'orth.

@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.

@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.

@The.Adept.Chamber "The U.S. conference of Mayors says that the U.S.A. owes Reparations". Well they would, wouldn't they. Especially, the black ones. 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.
