If somebody can make a reasonable case for Reparations, and make a reasonable connection with the impacts slavery had on their lives today, then I'm fine with some sort of Reparations that would be a symbolic expression of regret and a modest remittance to help someone out.
But as a condition of that potential step, I want the full story about the African and European slave trades to be told, going back to its beginnings in the Arab world and before that, China and the Far East. I'm sick of this shit about how America "invented" slavery. It's such a steaming pile of dishonest horseshit that I would never give a dime to anyone who propagates that myth. African Kings loved slavery and made a killing from selling them to whites and browns headed to the new world.
And shall we dare discuss the Barbary Pirates who decimated white and brown villages from all over the Mediterranean and up and down The Atlantic Coast from Iceland to the Congo? Those Muslim mother-fuckers cleaned house, capturing an estimated 1.25 million people they used as galley slaves, leaving abandoned villages all over the Mediterranean and attacked American cargo ships until Jefferson attacked finally attacked them back and the French conquered them in the 1830s.
Every time I hear some asshole on TV talking about how slavery in the U.S. was "uniquely" terrible or exploitative, I have to remind myself that bondage is arguably better than being eaten by a cannibal back home.
If you were on the losing side of a war on the African continent back in the 1500s, life was not going to be a picnic for you, IF you were allowed to live. The truth hurts. -
I'm not responsible for the actions of others. Let alone others 150 + years ago.
Who's going to pay reparations to all the dead soldiers who died freeing the slaves?
Democrats should be responsible for all reparations. They did it. They fought ending it and they're still keeping minorities down. They are "the man"! -

Then the government can lose it and you'll never see a dime, cause your submission will be deemed too late. -

I’ll gladly write a check if I never have to hear about systemic racism again. Problem is those who receive handouts just end up resenting those who wrote the check though, they feel shamed.
