Thread: THE DEBT: WHAT AMERICA OWES BLACKS: Is America ready to pay reparations for its sins


Started 1 year, 8 months ago by Altura Ct.
Segments of Americans are gearing up to oppose Senator Barack Obama because they fear he will be more considerate of the debt America owes to Blacks. Anti-Obama whites, in particular, are concerned he’ll get into the White House and put Blacks on track for “a reparations gravy train.” CNN debate moderator Anderson Cooper put Black Reparations on track to be a part of the presidential...

I would say that half a million lives lost during the war between the states is reparation enough, unless the war was over state's rights and not slavery.

I've always wondered, since I was born and raised in the North and many of my folks died winning freedom for the blacks, do we get something too? How can those whose families fought "for" the freedom of the blacks owe more than was already paid?

Debt? WHAT debt? Add up the total dollar cost of 40 years of welfare programs, housing programs, job programs, and all the other fedgov Great Society onward giveaway programs, divide by half and subtract that from 'the debt.' dd

Colin Powell told GW Bush that if he broke it, referring to Iraq, he would have "bought it". We, the American Taxpayers, now seem to be paying reparations to Iraq in the form of rebuilding their infrastructure that we destroyed. It is unusual that the supposed winners in a war have to pay reparations to the losers but that seems to be the state of things in today's America. As far as ...

Show me a living slave from 140 years ago, and I'll dig out my checkbook. All races and cultures have been enslaved at one time or another............and they shall be again.

If Reparations are paid; in order to be fair, you would have to back out transportation costs, lodging, food, medical and clothing. Right? Jim

as DD points out, the taxes already spent on blacks since the inception of the Great Society under LBJ already amounts to a trillion, and since the US is now the greatest debtor nation in the world, and since we have exculpated ourselves from our ANCESTORS' sins by saving the world from Imperialism (WWI), Nazism and Japanese Imperialism (WWII), Marxist Communism (the Cold War), and also have ...

If a trillion or more dollars are paid in reparations, it will bankrupt the US. We won't have a country anymore. My ancestors came here from Sweden after the Civil War. They had nothing to do with slavery. If reparations are paid, I would feel compelled to return to the land of my ancestors.

does this mean that the white half of Obama will pay reparations to his black half, or is this schizophrenia, or are people of mixed race exempt from paying reparations or perhaps they only have to pay half

In America there were actually several groups brought over. Black slaves... were actually primarily brought to America at the end of the 1700's and used primarily by the south on plantations. But in the beginning through out the 1600's; mainly, there were indentured servants who were bought and basically paid for. These had a slip of paper which was contract to work for their employers for so many years then they were...

I don't see how this could ever happen. Everyone would suddenly become Octaroons who only look white, descending from whatever specified tribe is deemed the most worthy. I agree 100% that it is lack of parenting and values. I really fear for America. I keep trying to comfort myself with thoughts about Elvis once being the herald of the end of civilization. However, I really think Akon, Usher, the lyrics which boil basically down to...

The day the US orders payment of "reparations" to blacks is the last day I pay taxes in this country. EVER. I'll lose everything and go to prison before I'll pay another DIME. And I mean that with God as my witness. I never owned a slave, and have never participated in ANY program or agenda to repress people of color (ANY color). I WILL NOT PAY FOR SOMETHING I HAD NO PART IN.
