    Default Poll: Do you support slavery reparations?

    The American people are solidly against illegally confiscating the wealth of those who have done nothing wrong and giving it to people who were never slaves...because it's blatantly immoral, divisive, and racist. The vast majority of poor people in America are white. "White privilege" is a myth invented by the only actual racists involved, who create racism where it never existed by fighting imaginary racism with actual racism at every turn.

    As Democrats debate reparations for slavery, polls suggest Americans are not convinced

    A Fox News poll in April found that 60 percent of Americans oppose paying cash reparations to descendants of slaves, while just 32 percent support it. A Rasmussen poll in the same month found that just 21 percent of likely voters think taxpayers should pay reparations to black Americans who can prove they are descended from slaves.

    However, in a finding that could put 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls in a bind, the Fox poll found that among Democratic primary voters, 54 percent said they were likely to support a candidate who backed reparations, while 33 percent said they were not likely.

    Additionally, Data For Progress found in a poll last year that while the measure had only 26 percent of Americans in favor, it had net positive support among voters under 45. A Point-Taken Marist poll in 2016 found that while 68 percent of Americans were opposed to reparations, 6 in 10 black Americans [who make up only 13% of the population] said they were in favor.

    I'm actually glad Democrats are staking their 2020 hopes on something this universally rejected as lunatic extremism by the American people.

    If Islamic invaders endlessly violated, conquered, robbed, and enslaved Europeans for hundreds of years before the first crusade ever happened, then does that permanently give all people of European dissent a legal standing to impose racist preferential treatment for themselves against all Muslims, Arabs, and Africans? Or should we just ditch the left's simple-minded emotional idiocy here and correct historical injustices by making society as impartial as possible for everyone?

    This is the key difference. Liberals are trying to retaliate, inflict harm, and create injustice...instead of supporting actual equality.

    Is looking like someone who did something wrong hundreds of years ago a valid legal basis for confiscating their wealth and handing it to someone else just because they look like someone who went through something hundreds of years ago? Or are liberals just too intellectually impaired to come up with sane, adult arguments?

    So every promise that was ever broken in the history of mankind suddenly now has to be rectified specifically by illegally targeting white people and robbing them blind?

    General Sherman had no authority to promise the land (the mule was added later).

    No he did not. Just saying it was 40 acres, not one.

    Reparations are not giving a condo and an SUV to descendants of slaves. There is a long list of proposals.
    Blacks have not had equal opportunity and their schools have been neglected. There was lynching going on until the 1960s. The voter's rights act came in 1965. It is not like blacks were treated fairly after the Civil War and slavery ended. They still are not treated equally, either by racists or the system.

    if we do reperations then i want it to be full reparations. Whoever takes advantage of it gets sent back to wherever his ancestor was taken as a slave from and becomes a citizen of that country.
