I hope you guys asked about white descendants of African slaves. Because do white descendants of slaves deserve reparations? Because they exist. There are white people who have ancestors who were slaves. Do they deserve reparations even though they don't look black?

@SAIL-f6j why do we act like this is something strange? We fought a war against these people and they lost. Why would we let them stay on the land that we won from them? That's now our land. They lost. They don't get to stay if the winner says they go. That's kind of how it worked.

@arthurgibbons7401 to be fair that wasn't a privilege that was a right. Back then might made right. If you wanted land and you had a gun and they didn't you could take it. The Indians didn't have guns so they lost wars and we won the land. Nothing was stolen. We didn't have to make peace treaties. We could have wiped them out.

@fennerexv4438 handouts have never and will never make people work harder. The only way to make people better is if they work to be better. I cannot make poor people not poor. Even if I give them money they will spend it until the point where they're poor again. Why? Because they don't value money. They spend it as soon as they get it. You people thinking that giving money to people who don't know what to do with money is a good idea or stupid. Dependence has never made anyone independent before it won't start now.

@v3rlon college students wouldn't be paying which is one of the reasons they're all totally okay with it. Also I highly doubt the recipients would be expected to pay so that decreases the amount of people actually paying.
