What about Blacks or other minorities who were here pre-1865 that were never slaves to begin with? What about those who might have been slaves but never were by escaping, etc.?

    The problem here is that those being rewarded were never slaves themselves, and many may not even have ancestors who were. At the same time, those who were never slave holders / owners would be forced to pay these reparations for something they didn't do, and their ancestors likely never did either. What kind of totally fucked up system of injustice would allow something like that to occur?

    Would Obama be eligible for such reparations being the son of a White woman and a Black Kenyan who wasn't a US citizen?
    I think that rich bastards like McSlobber should give up his property to a poor black and the land to the Indian tribe that it was taken from!

    The African tribes that sold the slaves to traders should pay for reparations! Actually the majority of blacks from Africa would never have reached the US if they hadn't been sold, they would have been killed instead.

    She's a hustler who never ever talks about anything but racism. Think of Queen Latifah in real life, only more porcine and noisier.

    Reparations? Hell yeah! My great-grandfather fought for the Union. He won the freedom for slaves, therefore they should pay me reparations because my ancestor fought for their freedom. Pay up, bitches...
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

I do not know what the proper response is, but since institutional bigotry still exists 150 after the civil war ended, it is probably worth a sober discussion
    How long have we been saying “sober discussion “ over this BS? It never gets anywhere. Like Jack says, who pays? Who gets?
    I propose a drunken discussion.

    he former president claimed that a reparations proposal didn’t make its way through the lawmaking process during his presidency due to "the politics of White resistance and resentment."

    "And what I saw during my presidency was the politics of White resistance and resentment. The talk of 'welfare queens' and the talk of the 'undeserving' poor. And the backlash against affirmative action," Obama said.

    "All that made the prospect of actually proposing any kind of coherent, meaningful reparations program struck me as, politically, not only a nonstarter but potentially counterproductive."

    REP. BURGESS OWENS: 'UNFAIR AND HEARTLESS' FOR DEMOCRATS TO RAISE BLACK AMERICANS' HOPES FOR REPARATIONS

    Obama went on to say it was "perfectly understandable why working-class White folks, middle-class White folks, folks who are having trouble paying the bills or dealing with student loans, wouldn't be too thrilled" about the prospect of "a massive program that is designed to deal with the past but isn't speaking to their future."

    Obama appears to have changed his position on reparations over the years. He opposed reparations during his 2008 presidential campaign, arguing that "the best reparations we can provide are good schools in the inner city and jobs for people who are unemployed."
    Why doesn’t he propose who pays? Yeah, I know why.

    If you are a descendant of Union Soldiers that may have lost a limb or life in the Civil War, do YOU pay?
    If you are a descendant of a Black slave holder, do you get something ... because you are 'Black'?
    The DNC should pay.
