Slavery Reparations

[Sam]

Sorry I look like a tool to you Guff, the sad truth is that I'm just lazy. I honestly don't want to argue with you anymore, consider it a win in your book if it makes you happy, but I simply do not agree with you at all, guess I'm just not human enough. Darn.

So anyway, yeah,I 'm not going to argue anymore because I realise there's not a chance in hell I can get you to admit I'm right, and there's not a chance in hell you'll make me believe that the decendents of slaves deserve reparations.

It's pretty much a pointless battle in my eyes, but consider my opinion posted.

I do not think the descendents of slaves should be given reparations.

uh there is no "right" in this situation, it's a matter of opinion

I do not think the descendents of slaves should be given reparations.

I'm black and I personally think the idea is just stupid.

Why in the hell should we get money for what our great great great grandparents did?

I'm sorry, but the "It heals our wounds" crap, is total bullshit. nigro;

WTF a ton of other people don't think so either. I don't think you should make someone pay for what thier anncestors did

the bible does

[sans culottes]

I think that's just stupid.

I hate how a lot of black youth of today thinks they're under white oppression or something. No one living has been a slave back then, and anyone below 40-50 hasn't dealt with very much segregation problems.

Hey hey. White men have been slaves too. The term slave comes from slav, because slavs of east Europe were used as slaves once. Every race has been oppressed in the past.

I want what Martin Luther King wanted: pure equality. It really makes me sick how a lot of the black teenagers get away with saying racist things to the white kids. Affirmitive action is bullshit.

Make the government pay for them. It wouldn't be a problem at all if we hadn't sunk a few trillion dollars into invading Iraq.

[don't let's]

It seems to me that this should be Europe's problem. Because aren't they the ones that originally started bringing slaves to America?

Why should the government waste even more money on something as stupid as this? What happened over 5 generations ago shouldn't matter to people today.

Well, you do have to consider the possibility that the slavery and discrimination of their ancestors has hindered them financially. For the most part, though, it is silly. My point is more that the war in Iraq is ridiculous.
