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.
Dominic Wood
No. Their reparations are getting to live in civilization.
Dominic Bell
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
John Green
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.
Eli Thomas
They already do, its called welfare, foodstamps, and section 8 housing.
Austin Nelson
Why is no one addressing this? This is a great question.
Joseph Baker
African American should get their own country. Make citizenship in America something that's actually based on ethnicity and move on.
Carson Gonzalez
They have been paid and continue to be paid quite handsomely compared to their African contemporaries.
Gavin Perry
Yeah we could do that. Or we could, you know, rebuild the black family, the degradation of which under progressives has completely destroyed the black community.
If you replaced every non-black community with modern black communities, the country would collapse almost instantly.
Jaxon Adams
They've received more in government spending than they would have earned.
Heck, they actually received more from their slave masters than they would have earned on their own.
Slaves had a superior standard of living and material wealth than free blacks in Africa during the same time period.
Henry Bell
YES!
Blacks need to be sent back to their homeland to be KINGS and QUEENS once more! FREE tickets to Liberia and FREE homes to ALL BLACKS shall be issued from here on out. They must be free from racist america!
Christian Martinez
This
Ian Foster
Their reparations are the 365,000 white people who died and 282,000 whites who were wounded freeing their black asses.
Carson Scott
They already get reparations (no-need to qualify welfare, EBT, quotas, ADC, section 8, affirmative action, etc etc), they have for decades, and it's going to end up bankrupting the fuck out of us.
Ethan Jenkins
...
Brandon Garcia
They already do get reperations.
Its called welfare and about 80% of niggers are on welfare.
So there you go.
Alexander Taylor
No If you are a Christian, which many people in the US claimed they are, there is a passage that will go against reparations.
As a black, I don't care for reparations and do see a need for it.
Sebastian Hill

Their economic opportunities were restricted compared to what opportunities they would have had in Africa?
both sides only offered freedom as a term for serving. you know this right, it was mostly a resource war for rights of production. silly american.
Jason Evans
...
Carson Nelson
Not one of these black ass holes are slaves, so no repperations, the already get an obscene amount of welfare and preferential treatment. Palestine doesn't get shit unless they can defeat Israel which isn't going to happen, the Irish I don't know enough about the Potato people to say anything.
Gabriel Jones
Slavery? They work less than I do and it looks like a good chunk of my money goes to social welfare.
If anyone deserves a fucking break its me.
Juan Gomez
>African American should get their own country It's called Liberia, and it's a utopian paradise.
Caleb Brooks
Blacks were given a better life because of slavery. If anything they should be paying whites for the opportunity.
Angel Smith
no we shouldve killed them all
Henry Hall
No. They weren't slaves. The best we could offer is 40 acres and a donkey in africa, just renounce US citizenship.
Nathan Wood
Sesame Street isn't quite how I remember it
Sebastian Gray
I'd give them $10 to fuck off back to Africa
Justin Campbell
Liberia was taken over by the natives a long time ago ausfam.
Gabriel Wilson
Yes they should get reparations.
They should also be made to pay for the boat ride over and either drop their American citizenship or buy a green card.
So, with inflation my calculations indicated afro-Americans owe about $10,000 each.
Brayden Sanders
Now my wallpaper, made me smile ausfag.
Asher Green
>Should African-Americans be given reparations for slavery Sup Forums? Sure, but I didn't own any slaves. Go collect from those that owned slaves. idiot
Luis Rivera
No. No black person alive today in America was enslaved by America. Also, other races have been slaves before, it is not unique to African Americans. In fact, Africa enslaved Africans and sold them too.
Christopher Roberts
i would gladly chip in to send them back to africa even though that's more than they deserve. my family came here in 1850 and settled in the mid west. we never owned one slave. stupid fucking niggers
Camden Walker
Yes. All living slaves should receive full financial compensation.
They'd all be about what....one hundred and eighty nine years old? So I'm sure the extra money would come in very handy for them
Nicholas Butler
Sure, they can get reparations when they pay their debt to my family for freeing their ignorant asses.
Austin Howard
As long as a stipulation of the reparations is they are deported to their country of origin or choosing or host willing to accept them. I'd take a tax increase to fund that.
Chase Gutierrez
They've had reparations. They were given citizenship and allowed to stay. Which was one hell of a gift considering the state of Africa. Damn near every other nation that had slaves sent theirs back home with nothing.
Jonathan Myers
Jewish financed slave ships bought African POWs as slaves from other tribes, who themselves held 200k slaves. Should whites receive reparations for the Barbary slave trade?
Jeremiah Torres
>NO REPARATIONS WITHOUT REPATRIATION
Cooper Nelson
Blacks should get reparations for slavery after the jews get reparations for slavery in Egypt
We was kangs and we appropriate jewish culture
Alexander Clark
Oy vey goyim we were slaves and stuff
Nolan White
Sure - I'd gladly pay reparations to an actual former slave.
Kayden Adams
Who pays and who benefits?
Is this paid with tax money? Not every white citizen came from a slaveholding background, plenty immigrated after the civil war as well. What about asians, hispanics, etc?
What about the few africans/afro-caribbeans whose ancestors came to America as freemen? Do they get free money too?
Logan Lopez
No one gets money, might as well just say niggers dont pay income tax for a year
Colton Cook
We didn't enslave them for one.
No one alive today bought black slaves, and no one alive today was a slave.
Anthony Diaz
Who gives reperations to who though? All the farmers who owned slaves are dead so we can't distribute the land if former slaveowners don't own it. The federal government wasn't behind slavery since it was a state right. Therefore they don't pay. You can't take the money away from whites in general, because the vast majority of whites in America do not have an ancestor who owned slaves, so it's unfair to make them pay.
How can we determine who gets reperations and how much? Does everybody with a slave background get reperations? Do half breeds get reperatios? There are a lot of White Anericans who have an ancestor that was black. Do they get reperations? Do whote people who have immagrant backgrounds beyong 1860 have to pay? So many questions
Caleb White
Yes
All living former slaves of the United States or Confederate States get 5 billion dollars cash no questions asked.
Evan Russell
So... Where's the problem?
Ayden Diaz
Their reparation is to live in the greatest country in the world. C'est la vie mein Familia.
Christian Thomas
Simple... You take it from da joos.
Juan Jones
I honestily wouldn't mind giving reperations if they leave. Hell, I would support giving them free shit for a decade so long as they all go there.
Christopher Rivera
And what about the impoverished white families in places like Alabama and Mississippi, the two poorest states in the nation, that once owned slaves? Are they supposed to live on the streets because they're now paying for their great, great, great-grandfather's sins?
David Ramirez
Not to mention Irish and the Chinese, who worked in factory conditions in the north and on the railroad in the west. Shouldn't THEY get reparations, too?
why they'd just blow it. and none of the people currently alive can trace their slave ancestry back to their grandparents. So a big NO. It was 154 years ago.
Caleb Edwards
This guy on omegle agrees.
David Watson
If you could build a time machine and go back in time, would people evne consider you to be one of their own? Wouldn't they be horrified by all the tolerance to gays, lack of christian faith, women and black rights, teaching children sex education, and all the sexual depravaties and liberties that we have today? People would probably ask have you exorcised if they knew you fap to hentai girls being violated by tentacles
White people from back then aren't white people from today Saying that you should pay reparations for blacks today is as absurd as asking some rape child for reparations because of his father's actions.
Nolan Diaz
>both sides only offered freedom as a term for serving.
You do realize how dumb you are, right? One side offers to free all slaves if they win. Another side offers freedom to the slaves that fight to keep slavery. ...I don't understand how you can be this stupid. Are you a feminist?
Eli Wright
Only if they migrate back to Africa.
Luis Robinson
No other people who were enslaved in the history of mankind, from slavs to jew, got a single shit in reparation.
Why would black people?
Christian Adams
Black social mobility in this country is not the problem, and throwing money at black people isn't going to help their victim mentality.
Nolan Reed
you're probably talked to someone high or a polster
Parker Lee
They already got reparations. Freedom, welfare, and affirmative action. They squander what they're given though, so nothing more we can give could help them.
Anthony Bennett
So they think they came over here on a free boat ride? Id say they owe me for the boat they came here on
Isaac Torres
>be born >be assigned a slave number >be given jew name >be given jew sugar food all my life >be taught jew written history by gov school >be given no red pills or useful skills until i'm out of high school >fed a shit diet from blue pilled parents, my health is hindered >add all this in with our levels of inflation and regulation
i want reparations.
Wyatt Harris
Their reparation is not getting gutted like a fish for shouting out a bunch of delusional bullshit.
The second they go full on violent is the moment they're dead.
Dylan Peterson
You faggot conspiratards ruin every thread. Get out
Alexander Butler
>david ige I thought it said david cage for a moment there.
Christian Williams
All jokes aside, you take a fuckin look at central sub-Saharan Africa today and gauge whether or not the average nigger in America is better off than some poor fuck in the fuckin Congo.
These fuckin uppity spooks in the US god damn A should be fucking HAPPY their ancestors were valuable enough to be considered commodities.
Mason Foster
>THEY WUZ DISADVANTAGED!
The nigger population tripled between 1940 and 2010. If the white population had grown at a similar rate then there would be 372 million whites right now.
The fact is niggers have shitty lives not because of "muh jim crow" but because if Dr. Blackman has only 1 kid and Shaniqua the hoodrat has 5 then your affirmative action policies aren't going to do shit
If the poorest people have too many kids and the well off people have too few then it drags down the average.
Pay niggers to have few kids and in a generation their "problems" will disappear.
Leo Flores
No. Black people aren't slaves anymore. They don't deserve reparations, but sadly, they get them in the form of welfare checks and food stamps.
Something like the Japanese would have more of a reason to give reparations to because generations to generations of the Japanese will be biologically affected by the atomic bomb.
Should Will Smith and Beyonce be given reparations even though they're some of the richest motherfuckers around?
Cooper Nguyen
>It's rather undeniable that their economic opportunities were restricted compared to White Americans due to slavery. Reparations would help remedy this.
You gave yourself away here, m8
Nolan Turner
i've been thinking about this...how would it work? Would there be 1 payment to all blacks in the US now? what about mulattos/half breeds? What about unborn blacks/future blacks? would they get payments as well? Is there a figure or price that needs to be met and the "debt" is paid?
Colton Morris
You're right they would have been far better off in Africa
Carter Lewis
>conspiratards >All he did was post factual information
wew
Kevin Ross
We should stop giving money to all blacks. Let them take personal responsibility like whites. None of the blacks affected by slavery are alive today.
Dominic Mitchell
Yeah a one way ticket back to Africa so they can get a taste of reality
They were not the only ones to be oppressed and suffer the evils of humanity and they should stop crying about it
Jose Scott
No.
Brandon Carter
It's funny because most white people were willing to discriminate against chinks because they immigrated of their own volition while blacks were brought over against their will. How the world changes.
