Reparations can only apply to people who had bad things done to them, not their descendants. Unless a contract for money was involved, no living person can sue for something where there was no contract. Japanes-Americans stripped of their property and incarcerated BY DEMOCRATS!!! during WWII deserved reparations from personal property illegally taken from them.
If you can reward people for something bad done to their ancestors, where does it stop? Can I demand reparations from Italy for things done to my Slavic ancestors two thousand years ago by the Romans? Should descendants of the Irish who starved during the potato famine get reparations from the British? There are too many instances of similar injustices done to some people by other people over the millennias to count.
And we're still left with the fact that American blacks are far better off in America than in Africa. Does anybody believe Oprah Winfrey or the evergrowing numbers of black billionaires and multimillionaires would have obtained their riches back in Africa?
Add to that the trillions of dollars already spent on numerous black families who sit around and not work while cranking out babies one after the other i.e welfare while black crime also totals in the billions annually, and you've got a demand that deserves to be harshly laughed down.
So when living blacks ask if they're supposed to be glad they were slaves, tell them yes, they're damn lucky they were sent over the waves.
Many non-black Americans came from countries where their ancestors were cruelly oppressed. Few of them want to go back.
One other thing black Americans.... please quit whining and begging.....I've run out of sympathy.
