USA: People who were never slaves now seeking reparations from the offspring of those who died and gave life to free black slaves
To all of you who had ancestors die and risk life to free slaves, how does it feel for you to know that the offspring of those freed now want you, aside from your ancestors already having died and risked life to free their ancestors, want you to pay them for your ancestors dying and risking life to free them from slavery?!
Now think, which party in the USA is helping those seeking reparations to do this to you and your families? The democrats want to give the descendants of those your descendants risked life and died to free from slavery tax breaks and other subsidies while you get not anything for your ancestors putting an end to slavery.
How sick is this, free people from slavery so their offspring many generations later can try and squeeze your offspring for reparations for freeing them all from slavery... Our descendants up here in Canada even helped free those slaves because we Canadians, along with USA citizens, do not approve of slavery.
The offspring of those who died and gave life to free black slaves in USA could have demanded reparations from the offspring of black slaves for freeing them, but the offspring of those who died and risked life to free black slaves are obviously not that small and petty, not to mention after all of this time later.

What about those of us who's ancestors (my great grandfather fought for the Union) fought to free their ancestors?
How about they pay us for freeing their greedy racist asses?
Will Union Soldiers (and their Descendants) be excluded from paying into the Reparations Fund?
It was reparations, which puts them in the same class. It was also racist.
I thought someone would as soon as I wrote that which is why I specifically included "not to mention after all of this time later." in the following sentence because I suspected someone would after I wrote that.
"The offspring of those who died and gave life to free black slaves in USA could have demanded reparations from the offspring of black slaves for freeing them, but the offspring of those who died and risked life to free black slaves are obviously not that small and petty, not to mention after all of this time later."
To my understanding, democrats propose reparations in the form of tax breaks and other subsidies while everyone else gets the shaft.
reparations doesn't automatically make Japanese slaves no matter how desperate you are to try and make false comparisons. One was slavery and the freeing of those slaves and the other appears to be a precaution in times of war, a precaution that was extensive and obviously regretted.
They were not slaves, a completely separate issue.

How much is it worth to send our African friends back to Africa? It seems like a 'win-win' situation.
Africans HATE being HERE, so they get a free trip back along with a chunk of Money to restart their Lives.
They were also the ones that had been put in the camps.
Todays blacks are not slaves.When you put whole families in jail, like the did with the Japanese, all that is missing is work requirements. 7 Japanese prisoners were killed trying to escape or going too near the edge of the camp.

They are Americans. You should say we should send Americans back to Africa. But they have never, ever been there. They are Americans. You make no sense.
African Americans are not Africans. These Americans have no affinity with the countries in Africa. They are 100 percent Americans. Ever hear of Italian Americans? How about German Americans?
Yes I have an opinion on reparations.
Nordberg: "Yes I have an opinion on reparations."
Jack: Good. Spit it out. Or, ... is it just a Slogan?
Will Union Soldier's descendants be exempt?
How about people that came to the US AFTER 1865, will they be exempt?
How about people like Obama, that are part African but no slave relative?
How about people that have Slave Master and Slave blood, will they be charged ... and then pay themselves?
Will the 'Ben Carsons' and the 'R. Kellys' receive the samr amounts as the 'Little People'?
Any idea how much this is going to cost?
Who will administer the Fund, Nation of Islam or some white people?
The IRS would administer it.
Exempt all descendents of American veterans, as well as registered Republicans.
Thank you for your detailed plan, I was hoping it wasn't just some Slogan you were tossing around.
Do you know that the IRS is in contact with every working person in the country? In short, everyone who would be involved in reparations.
Translation: "I have no idea how it should work out, I just think 'Reparations' is a cool Slogan and I like to toss it around to show my support for our Negro friends here".
Like others have pointed out, you'll have to explain exactly WHO gets 'Reparations', and WHO pays for the 'Reparations'. Like does the Chinese guy that just got here pay Reparations? How about the Indians that have lived here for 10,000 years, do they pay? Do the Descendants of Union Soldiers that died to free the Slaves, how much do they pay? Does Obama get Reparations? How about these Tech guys from India, how much do they pay? Mexicans, do they pay?
Until you come up with an actual proposal, all you are doing is 'Sloganeering'.
Translation, the IRS would do it. That is a simple fact. They are in contact with everyone involved.
You are not in charge of definitions. I do not accept yours. Shove your sloganeering.
How about Indians, Mexicans and Chinks? Would they be exempt also?
