Should African-Americans be given reparations for slavery Sup Forums?
It's rather undeniable that their economic opportunities were restricted compared to White Americans due to slavery. Reparations would help remedy this.
Also, are there any other groups (not just in America) that might deserve reparations? I think the Palestinians might be owed money by the Israelis, and arguably the United Kingdom owes members of the Irish Diaspora money.
>Reparations would help remedy this. It really wouldn't.
They'll spend all their money on useless bullshit, end up back in debt, then claim the previous amount paid wasn't enough.
I wholeheartedly believe that paying reparations would utterly devastate their communities.

No. Their reparations are getting to live in civilization.

Should the Irish? The Germans? Japs? Chinese? I realize they had it worse arguably but come on. Some blacks in the U.S have a terrible victimization problem

They already get it in the form of welfare, quotas, affirmative action, not to mention the blood of 750k whites and the complete destruction of the Old South to free their black asses. What more is there to give them at this point? No one else ever got reparations for their ancestors being slaves/serfs/etc.
