There are many problems with the reparations idea: #1: not all Whites owned slaves. Only about 1 in 5 American households owned slaves (depending on location); #2: Slavery was the best thing to ever happen to Blacks. They are now “civilized” (to a degree, at least). Ask a Black man if he’d like to go back to Africa and live in a mud hut in the jungle, uncivilized, without things like refrigeration, electricity, a telephone, air conditioning, 40-ounce malt liquor or menthol cigarettes. Most American slave owners treated their slaves well, even teaching them to read and write; #3: Black tribal leaders in Africa are partly responsible for slavery. They sold their own people to the Whites for almost nothing (chickens and trinkets were traded for Black slaves); #4: Wealthy Jews owned many of the slave ships. Are Jews also going to pay reparations to Blacks? Nope. Jews never pay for anything; #5: Slavery still exists in Africa, yet American Blacks never complain about that. Why not?; #6: Whites have already “paid for slavery,” i.e., Blacks have been murdering, robbing and raping Whites for decades, and stealing their tax dollars via welfare payments. If anything, Blacks owe Whites, not vice-versa.
