Some folks, like BLM, believe the United States Government should pay reparations to the descendants of african slaves for their unpaid labor. Do you think reparations would help mend race relations in the United States?

They were here before the blacks!

turned the traders trail into a war trail and ran - yes ran - all the way to Carolinas to rape , pillage and plunder other more peaceful injuns ?  

So the white man steals this land from the Indians.
Then forces blacks here from Africa.
Most of them were abuse, killed and raped.
They still built a lot of this country and worked for their lives.
You want to post a question like this using BLM?

Then some people say it's no such thing as white privilege today.

the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

If I was privileged then I would have pulled into a certain Atlanta club 15 mins before I did recently. Then I could have gotten a " free kill " .  I'd love to post the surveillance video to prove why always carrying is smart .  

The article you posted states France paid reparations to Holocaust survivors living in the United States because French state-owned railways transported Jews to German concentration camps.  The United States soldiers liberated Nazi concentration camps in Germany during WWII.  

When slavery existed here my forebears were in Russia being chased around by Cossacks.  Why the fuck should I pay reparations?  Anyway, it will never happen, so all this is a waste of time.

The article headline:
U.S. begins paying out reparations from France to Holocaust survivors and their heirs

I guess you need more attention.
So what happen they kicked you out of the strip club?
Just another insecure old fool on here.

grandmother's ancestors where the only ones in America during slavery days and they lived in Pennsylvania. Not sure if they had slaves. I guess I would be responsible for only a small percentage of reparations if the government considers your perspective.

...been given 40 acres and a mule.  Let's say that would be worth $1 million today.  A descendent of a slave would say: "Okay give me my million!"  But it doesn't work that way - Holocaust survivors and Japanese internment victims were compensated directly.  A freed slave may have 1,000 descendants today, so each of them would only be entitled to $1,000 as their per stirpes share.  If descendants of slaves would agree to receive that amount as a symbol of the government's acknowledgment of slavery, then it would be okay.  But I have a feeling that they're just pushing for reparations to get a windfall, not to hold the government accountable.

It would piss off whitey more.

...What moronic posts CrappyChanges sends to this board, but this one tops his mountain of manure. During the invasive take over of North America by whites many times more native American people died at the hands of whites than whites killed by native Americans, posts like this one from this ass hole tell us he is nothing but a racist troll with nothing better to do than to try to spread bullshit to try to make his point.

Never.

Declaration of Independence. And yes, it was a vile and racist statement. Should we burn it, rip it down and stomp on it like confederate memorials and flags!?!?!?!?;?  Erase it from history, memory and shun those that took part and fought for OUR independence and freedom. Fuck NO!!!!!!!!! PUSSY!!!!!!

All the US government did was distribute the reparations that FRANCE paid to United States citizens who were Jewish and suffered because the French government used it's railways to transport them to concentration camps.  

Let's confiscate all of Trump's dirty Russian money..that should take care of the East Coast..

You are beyond clueless and a fraud!

I know it was too hard for you to understand Happy. Lol

Feel free to let everyone on the board know, how hard it is to understand your dumb post. lol

Then you can explain your own dumb ass responses.
I love it when a stupid Trump supporter is trying hard to be smart. Lol

if you have nothing of substance to add to this thread. I've already stated my point. Just go home and lick your wounds and try again next time.........

Well Trump is not the only one that is confused and stupid.
It's also his supporters like Happy clown trying to cover up his own stupidity. Lol
You were on here all day and keep showing why you are lost!
We get it the article went way over your head and it's not the first time on here.

The 60 million came from France not US. ........

Quote:
More than 700 claims have been filed under a 2014 agreement between the United States and France in which the French government pledged a total $60 million for the deportations carried out by SNCF, officials said. In exchange, the U.S. government agreed to ask courts to dismiss any U.S. lawsuits against SNCF or the French government.

The larger point of this article keeps going over their heads. Lol

You have to be pretending thinking the US actually gave money.

I guess the Washington Post does not know either.
Since that was posted in their headline.

But this is a very complicated issue and the "form" these reparations should take is even more complex.  No "decent" American would condone any minority or person of color being treated unfairly.  Of course, we are not talking about neo-Nazi, white supremacists, or the KKK these people are pure evil and far from "decent."  But I am sure the rest of us would agree.

Thanks, now the board is laughing at your reading comprehension problem. E

It was called the Civil War.  Apparently quite a few are still fighting it.  We freed the slaves.  With freedom came great responsibility for ones own self.  What America owes all its citizens equally is education, fair and equal treatment in the courts and equal opportunity to succeed.  

For someone to be arrogant, they must have something to be arrogant about!  Have read this dumb, dumb's posts and he can't string two intelligent syllables together.  Maybe what we are witnessing is simply ignorance with a major dose of stupidity.  

So the Headline below is very clear.

"France begins paying out reparations to Holocaust survivors and their heirs"  

The stupidity and lack of intelligence from you as a Trump supporter.
Just shows it's not fake news.
Most Trump supporters really are stupid.

From France the 60 million they paid to the U.S. to distribute. E

-- Modified on 8/20/2017 9:27:25 AM

This is getting embarrassing for you.

So really try your best to explain it to us as none, zero of money came from U.S. .......

I want to hear your intellectual explanation.  
Quote:
France is expected to wire the $60 million lump sum to the U.S. Treasury by November 30th and the money will be distributed by the State Department sometime after May 2016.

You continue to show your limited ability to understand the larger point.  
Well you must be smarter than the writer and editor of the Washington Post. Lol

Also they had almost the same headline too.

Sure give them more money for doing nothing.......

Since your fellow supporters benefit the most from Federal goverment assistance.
I really would keep your insecure response to yourself and look at your own cult!
