If blacks want reparations I suggest they do some digging and seek them in Africa. Could you begin somewhere because all I'm getting from you is I disagree and they should go back to Africa.

I'll speak for myself. Yes, reparations are stupid. 10 minutes ago, Warcodered said: Could you begin somewhere because all I'm getting from you is I disagree and they should go back to Africa. I didn't say they should go back to Africa. I said they should seek their reparations there. There's a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Dude Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Look, if we give the Indians reparations then whom do the Indians give reparations to? Should we do genetic testing on people in England and award Anglo-Saxons with reparations from Norman’s? Make the Ottomans give back the Byzantine Empire. Remove the Slavs back to the steppe. I mean nothing that America’s done in the past has been any worse than things done by others. In fact, as a guy who’s pretty damned familiar with history I’ll stand on my soapbox and say that America has been the light of the world for all peoples since 1865. No it isn’t perfect. Yeah we’ve done some things. But did we not kill hundreds of thousands of young men to right our wrong for slavery? How many countries can say that? Did we not save the world and put it better in WWI and WWII? Do the S. Koreans live better lives because of America or worse? Magnimity in victory is what we’ve always been and is another reason we’re so special. Imagine what would have happened had we lost to the Japanese. Read what the Japanese did in China. Read about their savagery. Imagine if we hadn’t been there to meet the Russians in Berlin....the Nazi’s might have prevailed and had they not the Russians wouldn’t have stopped at Berlin without Joe’s there to block their way. All you idiots that focus on the things America has done wrong need to learn and realize that America has committed no unique sin, and that it’s presence has been to the global betterment and any person who argues differently is a fool. Ill pay no reparations for being an American. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Dude Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Where does it stop? Plus, I come from a long line of Scottish peasants. I mean, I don’t owe any Indian *****. But I’m white so I do, right? If you start this, where does it end? History is nothing but one group of people killing another group of people and then conquering their land. Everybody’s ancestors at one point were slaves, the conquered, or the conquerer. So what’s the complaint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. I'm all for a 4th or 5th round of reparations to blacks. On one condition: They must prove that they were personally enslaved in the United States by a white massa with government sanction. Or, you know, they can go support the 'Green Dream or Whatever' if they want money they didn't earn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but unless you can prove (with a receipt) that your ancestor paid for their passage on the Mayflower, I think you owe England for the fare, plus ~400 years of interest. Freeloader.

If not, pay up. As for the orphan, you should sue Massachusetts for not providing her parents with RomneyCare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
