What do you guys think???.....As for me...My ancestors werent even here....And if we were going to give reparations for this,then how about reparations to Russian Jews whose ancestors were murdered by Nazi Germany in Concentration Death Camps...Should we ask Germany to pay Jewish people for something that their Nazi ancestors were responsible for???....Simple question...

I believe that everyone living today who once owned a slave should pay reparations to anyone they once held as a slave. Other than that, forget it. No one should be forced to pay for what someone else did over which they had no control. Nor should anyone benefit from the misfortune of others.

Why stop there, Norway and Sweden can start paying reparations of the pillaging of the Vikings.

Or how about those Romans...………

Simply put, no. And I see no reasonable argument for reparations. Enough said.

If they can find a living person who was a slave before the Civil War freed him, then by all means make reparations to him. If they can find a living person who was the son or daughter of a slave before the Civil War freed him/her, then by all means make reparations to him/her.

Otherwise, a solid "no."

The kommiecrats just want to transfer wealth from anyone who has more money than they think they should have to those people who they think should have that money. Slavery doesn't have much to do with it other than to rally the transfer.

Every human that was a slave should be compensated by the ones who enslaved them. People using the slavery of generations passed should stop using it as an excuse to suck the system for everything they can get, suck it up and join the human race.
