Should African Americans get reparations

@Reason10 Yes, but they should be getting reparations from the tribes that sold them into slavery.

@IronHamster If you think about it, those multi million dollar salaried black NBA stars who model Nike shoes should be paying reparations because those shoes are made from Chinese SLAVE LABOR.
And I AGREE with you that people who were sold into slavery should get reparations from the tribes that sold them. I've been very consistent about that. It's kinda hard to do today since every single slave that was kidnapped by those AFRICAN TRIBES and sold into slavery is DEAD. And it's kinda hard to hit up the African tribes for reparations money since EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM INVOLVED IN THE SLAVE TRADE IS DEAD.

@Reason10 If you look at human history, most humans that ever walked the earth have been slaves. I'm not real impressed with the woe is me black issue, because in the US they had it comparatively good. In Rome, if there was so much as a rumor of a slave uprising they'd burn hundreds alive without a second thought to keep the rest docile. Arabs killed as many as a third of their black slaves by castrating them and letting them bleed out. The loss was worth it because eunuchs got a much higher price. The children of Black sex slaves were put to death, reminiscent of planned parenthood in the US putting their abortion mills in black neighborhoods.

@IronHamster it’s like, not true. And American slavery was also horrible, would u trade places w them

@IronHamster Very true.

@NinaCherry I'd trade places (monetarily) with Oprah, any day of the week.

@NinaCherry Please specify what is not true and prepare an apology when I post proof.

@NinaCherry most humans have not been slaves for once

@NinaCherry One universal truth is that the world is governed by the aggressive use of force. Do you deny this? In the middle east they are so conditioned to bowing to their master that they see no value in democratic forms of government. In China we see another life or death power of government, where this cult of personality has taken such control that there seems to be nobody free to make reasonable choices. Historically it gets worse. Serfs in Europe were lower than slaves because slaves could be improved and sold, but serfs were "tied to the land."

@IronHamster All of human history (and surprisingly MOST of the animal kingdom) is governed by the aggressive use of force. That's just the reality of life and it will not change.
