    if you mean blacks like obama, who are african or nonamerican black and half white, then yes

    but if youre mixed because of slave ? or jim crow exploitation then that doesnt make sense at all

    and if you have a full blooded white ancestor past a certain point, then yes you should

    as long as black people as a whole arent respected and have no real clout, reparations will continue to be nothing more than a dream.

    people dont give a ? about you unless its in their best interests to

    and , seriously, americans are insensitive to the injustices they face/have faced. They sit back with their thumb in their ass and wade in arrogance and the genuine belief that america is the apex of life and humanity

    so do you think someone who turns a blind eye to their own problems (past and or present) is gonna give a ? about urs?

    them being purchased from someone who "looks like them" doesnt absolve the fact that slavery's labor spring boarded so many industries and led to the accumulation of so much capital. which led to even more capital...so on and so forth..


    how did those merchants do after the initial sale from an economic standpoint?

    if they gave african slave descendants reparations,then african countries who were destroyed by colonialism and economic dependency would need their bread too, then asian, then latin, then austrialian

    yeah well white people are willing to take to the streets to protest legislation that was supposed to eliminate the ability for them to get screwed out of decent, affordable health care by insurance companies. those same crackas that talk about death panels are also against medicare and social security (even though half of them receive it). they think the president is a secret muslim and not even an american citizen simply because he's black.

    just imagine what would happen if we got 200 years of no income tax and free college - the KKK would become a legitimate 3rd political party.

    it would also be the official end of the "one drop" rule when they have dudes that look like wesley snipes having to produce non-existent slave records and dna samples and ? just to qualify as black all of a sudden.

    Due to availibiliity of slave labor , poor working whites were in less demand and recieved less wages.

    Should their descendants [especiallly if still dirt poor] pay reparations ?

    And how about descendants of whites who came to USA after 1865 [like maybe came in 1920] ?
    Should their descendants pay reparations ?

    Should blacks [and descendants of them] that came to America after 1865 also get a cut of the reparation pie ?
    Or [since some of their forefathers caught and sold slaves at the port] should they chip in to pay the reparations ?

    Should descendants of house slaves get same as descendants of field slaves ?

    If it were known/proved that in order to get better living conditions, a particular female slave deliberately
    seduced a master [anyone deny that occured ?] and her children/descendants were economically benefited
    by her union with the master,... should they get reparations equal to that of descendants of blacks
    who had no such unions ?

    No doubt particular familys,... mainly S.plantation owners,... greatlly profitted from slave labor.

    What percent of 1850 white Americans owned a plantation/slaves ?

    Some think slave labor made USA prosperous. I think it was peaceful environment, economic reward for productivity and advanced technology.
