@Zonuss You are displaying your lack of intelligence, lack of reasoning,and lack of historical knowledge about the topic of this post. As well as your opinions about who I am , being completely wrong.

I live less than 120 miles from our southern border. I see the effects of Illegal immigration daily as well as the affects of it. Illegal immigration needs to STOP !!

You introduced race into the conversation by assuming ...again.

Fact....there were no black native Americans until after 1526 when the first ship load of slaves arrived in the Americas. And escaped slaves started breeding with native Americans.

Fact ....less than 500,000 slaves were brought to the United States of America of some 10 million who were shipped across the middle passage over some 250 yr time span.

Fact.... estimates are over 5 million of the number of native Americans in the United States alone who lost their lives in roughly the same time span.

Fact.... Numerous government policies and treaties that had no beneficial long term protection of native Americans human rights, civil rights or property rights . In fact just the opposite.

How anyone can compare the magnitude of atrocities committed against the slaves ... by mostly private land owners , to that of the magnitude of atrocities committed against native Americans by the entire governmental establishment must be blind or stupid.

So it's very obvious that who , if anyone is entitled to reparations from the government.

Which in MY opinion is no one. All of this ended over 120 yrs ago . Tax payer money is not going to heal the wounds. Only getting to know, accept and respect our brothers and sisters of all races can have that affect. That's my opinion after getting to know the FACTS.

NOT LOOKING TO NOR WILL I DEBATE ANY OF THIS .

@goodlil666 False. The [b]Native American [/b] indigenous Black were already here. They were not shipped. This goes back centuries as they were not completely part of the Slave Trade that took place in [b]1400's.[/b]
Number two indentured servants slavery did not end until [b]1976.[/b]
Number three there are laws being passed now to give the land back to the Black and Red people as the old family lineages fades away.
