    I could be wrong, but I think you are under the impression 'Slavery' just happened to 'Black People', and it only happened in America.
    Again, your whitesplaining STILL doesn't explain or forgive the 2 Century plus practiced in America, does it?

    America owes Black people 40 acres and a mule and for building this country for free for 2 plus centuries of slavery, jim crow, discrimination, and oppression.

    Time for America to pay up.

    IMO, you seem focused on a narrow part of world history, the enslavement of one group by another group.
    It's like you went to a 'Blacks Only' school and were only taught one subject.

    Now, I do support a candid talk, I have no problem with that.

    TBH, most of these are good ideas, and shouldn't be weighted down with the absurdity of reparations for black people.
    You have to understand oppression and why laws were instituted.

    Most were instituted because the south didn't want slavery to end.

    You are conditioned to think it's not about race.

    I live in America. That is where my concern is.

    You may support a candid talk......but the problem is YOU DONT LISTEN!

    Why the fuck do I want to hear anything else?

    Slavery in bumfuck Egypt isn't going to eliminate for profit prisons in the US.

    I'm talking about the US and the horrors they have caused my people.

    YOU want to talk about something else......and I can understand why.

    By who?! The media and academia are incredibly anti-white and call everything racist.

    And what do laws against skateboarding on the sidewalk have to do with slavery?

    You are brainwashed by the media and the racist right...…...specifically racist white men.

    I'm guessing you think Blacks don't skateboard? Just like they don't swim or camp either right?

    There is no case for Reparations. The people who suffered under slavery and Jim Crow are long gone. We fought a destructive massive civil war to rectify the past sins. Time to get over it and move on.

    Doling out free money to those who are two generations or more removed from the actual events doesn't solve anything. I know; you want a handout as usual. How about getting off of your dumb lazy ass and getting a good paying job for a change.

    Coleman Hughes said it best:

    “Reparations by definition are only given to victims, so the moment you give me reparations, you’ve made me into a victim without my consent. Not just that, you’ve made 1/3 of black Americans who poll against reparations into victims without their consent, and black Americans have fought too long for the right to define themselves to be spoken for in such a condescending manner.”

    Burgess Owens gets it too:

    “Every bad thing that’s happened to my race over the years, you can go right back to the Democratic Party. Whether it be Chicago, whether it be Mississippi.”
    "When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."

    YOU don't talk like an American, YOU talk like an African Negro with a Hatred for 'White People'.
    TTQ: "Why the fuck do I want to hear anything else?"
    Jack: My point exactly.

    TTQ: "Slavery in bumfuck Egypt isn't going to eliminate for profit prisons in the US."
    Jack: Only brought up so you can grasp that 'Slavery' was world-wide and NOT just some freak anomaly that happened to black people in America.

    TTQ: "I'm talking about the US and the horrors they have caused my people."
    Jack: Yes. I get that. Solely self-centered and Afro-centric.

    TTQ: "YOU want to talk about something else......and I can understand why."
    Jack: I was trying to bring the 'Discussion' into an 'American Perspective'. How 'Americans' view this, not just 'African Negroes'.

    LIE and LAME; your hatred of whites oozes out of every stinking pore of your race hustling soul.

    I am an American...…..you mean how white America views this...I'm not surprised they are against it. I think it's because they are afraid of being left behind. They can't compete on a equal playing field. They don't want to give up their privilege and need it to get ahead.

    My point is there have already been reparations- and part of those are the blood, lives, and limbs of those who fought indiscriminately to free slaves and end slavery.

    These men were not drafted! These men volunteered to fight and die for their cause of freedom for all.

    Do you have any appreciation for them? You seem to be blaming them.
