What does the ease with which one earns their way out of slavery in some societies have to do with whether slavery is fundamentally and universally immoral? Not sure what this semi-literate drivel is even attempting to accomplish with such an off-topic point.
The key question is racism. Since it is so deep in the reactionary American psyche you find it difficult to understand, but in the real world it matters rather a lot.
As much as can be proven they received to descendants of those enslaved, dummy. Same level of proof as is made in every other civil action not involving
race and that therefore doesn't cause you to run to your closet to don a white cape and hood to post here.

reparations 
Post #89. Not very good at this whole thinking thing, huh?
English a 2nd language for you ?
How about British colonialism, a form of skavery, Nazi, Iolo sock?
Yes, living in what is literally the most pampered and prosperous place on Earth (thank you capitalism) IS the ultimate reparations.
Wrong again. You don't just get to arbitrarily make up BS rules on a whim insisting that only white-on-black slavery from this one narrow time period, only in America, counts, and all other slavery is invalid to question. Either slavery entitles all people who've ever had any ancestors victimized by it to compensation, or it doesn't. You can't have it both ways. The REAL key question is, "What is a valid basis on which to confiscate money from one race of people and give it to another?," and since the answer is, "Doing so is immoral, racist, and unconstitutional, hence, there never is one," your entire point here is moot.
Try again, race-baiting demagogue.
The only people trying to steal money from one race of people and hand it to another (i.e., the only people demonstrating actual racism) are...liberals. And the racist attitudes that existed so long ago when blacks were the primary slaves that were traded, came to America from...Britain (your people). And invalid ad hominem fallacies will get you nowhere.

And I'm the one that jaded you.
I support reparations, in the style of going in, and building up poorer black communities. The country made them build them up, separated from society. It could help solve a lot of issues with crime, homelessness, drugs, etc.

How would you envision "building up poorer black communities"? What would you see that entailing different than what we are doing today or over the past four or five decades?
Sputtering semi-literate sentence fragments while calling other people dumb.
I'm fine with that. By this standard, no reparations will ever be paid.
The person advocating Klan-like racist policies against one group of people based on nothing: Disagreeing with me makes you racist.
Says the only guy who can't understand what his own statement means in the English language.
Racism in America CAME from Britain. That's the irony of this Brit trying to argue that America is racist (other than Democrats), and that that somehow legitimizes illegally stealing from one race and giving it to another.
Letting them exist in the most prosperous country on Earth getting racist preferential treatment at everyone else's expense in schools and in the workplace ALREADY IS reparations that are beyond what they deserve. I support actual equality. You should consider it. It's much more legitimate, valid and enlightened.
Exactly.
And the dumbest fallacy award goes to Penderyn.
