Doc Brown Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Didn't Japanese Internment Camp survivors get reparations at one point?
Chandemonium Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 2 hours ago, Doc Brown said: Didn't Japanese Internment Camp survivors get reparations at one point? The key word there is survivors. I’d be fine with former slave owners being required to pay their former slaves back wages for the time of their servitude. The problem is none of those people are alive today. 2
Keukasmallies Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 I guess making amends for past wrongs could include fashioning social support programs such as welfare, food stamps, WIC, cell phone accessibility, etc. for target groups. Seems like a lot of those things are in place, and many more are on the drawing board. Such programs appear more effective than cash handouts, but we appear to have covered that base too, so....?

Yes but those were paid to those who were interred, not their descendants And as shameful as the Japanese Internment Camps were, they weren't forced labor or extermination camps. Calling the Japanese who were forced there "survivors" is a bit melodramatic.

SoCal Deek Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 My family are all Italian immigrants. We were not here during slavery. Why would I pay for something done over 100 years ago, when none of my ancestors were involved? Give me a break! The Democratic Party has become a PT Barnum circus. If you watch The Greatest Showman movie you’ll know all that’s level is to recruit the Dog Boy and Bearded Lady.

I was going to edit my prior post because I may have left the impression that there were no slaves here prior to my ancestors arrival. There were no black slaves here but plenty of Native American slaves held by various tribes. Now, I've had this nagging question that's been heavy on my heart. Were the actual slave auctioneers evil? Asking for a friend.
