How far back can we go with all this reparations business anyway? 100 years 1000 years?
How will we determine who owes what? Who will determine those who profited most and who committed the most nefarious act? The European slave merchants or the Africans who sold off their captives gained in tribal wars?
Basically its a game of, "hey people who look white gimme money."
Yeah... how about go to hell with that nonsense.
The funny thing is that Native Americans had slaves too, before the Europeans showed up. It was pretty common in interactions and wars among the tribes. Land also changed ownership through that same war.
If you are not the victim, then you are owed nothing.
If you were not a slave. Then you are owed nothing due to slavery.
If you were a slave. Then the person(s) who enslaved you are responsible, talk to them about reparations rather than generalizing and stealing from people who had nothing to do with it. That is racism, and the worse thing is it just creates more victims.
Will the people you steal from for your fake reparations at some point in history demand reparations from you for stealing from them for something they didn't do to you?
Slippery slope, and just plain stupid.
It is mostly about people who have spent too much time trying to identify as the victim and having envy who want FREE shit for stuff they imagined they are victims of.
Do you wish to become a slave? Perhaps the indentured servant type? It might be legal if you voluntarily enter it under contract and treat it as some BDSM thing. Then perhaps your reparations will be whatever wages you agree to in the contract once your term is done. Then at least you'd be getting paid for something that ACTUALLY happened.
35 years ago a black kid stole my bike off of my front porch. I'd like the black community that benefitted from this theft to offer reparations for my loss...
It's really that retarded X 10!
Victim mentality guarantees that's what you will always be.
