fine, but if you accept, you must leave the country for good and go back to africa and you lose citizenship


Why? Japanese Americans weren’t forced to leave when they received reparations after WWII.

I am 100% convinced that in the coming years they will try to force some kind of reparations garbage thru the federal tax code because they know there is no legislative path.

We are already there.
Isn't that really what welfare is?

I totally agree with you. They should be given land back in Africa and paid for by the tribes that sold them into slavery. Then that black person can decide to move there are sell it and stay here.

About 15000 freed slaves took up the offer. The rest chose to stay.


Why return to the scene of the crime? The US was all that they knew. They were granted freedom and hoped for better days here. Why return? Too bad it took so long for equality.

I suppose that is your perspective. Who am I to argue with you. My perspective is different.

We are constantly told how they were kings and queens in Africa. I'd be fine with footing the bill to return them to their kingdom.

Because blacks are the only people on welfare?

I wish the answer were simple and wrongs could be made right like that. But at the end of this life, all will be made right.

What about the 300,000 white slaves that came from Britain?


Send ‘em back to Britain. That seems to be the answer getting proposed.

And those reparations should come from the Africans that sold them.

Fine, but every white citizen who can prove through ancestry records that their ancestors had nothing whatsoever to do with slavery should then be exempt from paying a single penny.

I'll be first in line since no one in my family came to the U. S. until after the Civil War.

Sure, but white people should get an offset for the insanely absurd disproportional amount that blacks have received in welfare and a direct credit for the racist institution called affirmative action that was unconstitutionally mandated over the last 60 years.

Once all the math is done, just let me know where I (as a white dude) can go pick up my check.

frick that ! If that's the case, then every mthrfkr in this country should trace their ancestry history, move back to original homeland and give this country back to the original people who inhabited it, the native americans.


I ain't going no damn where but right here in Platte County MO. Let the people who bitch about reparations pay that shite, because 99% of those people are Dim voters, you know, the party of slavery and Jim Crow, that is all.

Well there's a good opportunity for the gov to pull some shenanigans.

Confiscate some land to divvy up as "reparations", assign it to those whom are eligible, and then offer to buy it from them for pennies on the dollar of actual market value them since they want cash and not a little undeveloped piece of property, and it's all funded by the American Taxpayer.

Government ultimately pays nothing and ends up with more land than they should ever possess, then sells it at a premium to build low-income subsidized apartment/housing complexes for the people who received their land checks.
