you in support of reparation payments?

seems to me just people wanting handouts and using history as a form to get it.
I think its the stupidest thing.
Just watched a Piers Morgan debate or screaming match if you wanna call it that where they were Arguing about the king of Britain having to apologize for slavery and the black women arguing for it could not answer a single question and would just rant on about nonsense and eventually when finally asked what she wants, she said reparations.
So Pierce went on to ask if Roman and Viking ancestors should have to pay him reparations also and she went on about not talking about slavery, so it confused me what the hell she wanted reparations for haha..
anyway its dumb, go get a job and stop trying to get handouts wherever you can as far as i am concerned.

thoughts?

Mixed opinion on it. Natuve American tribes absolutely deserve more repirations from the US government. No question.

As for slavery reparations it gets a little trickey. If you gave them out to every ancestor of a former slave family, at this stage you would be handing out like $100 a person by time you divied it up equally. Also where does it all come from? On the other hand there are wealthy families to this day who's history of wealth goes back yo their slave owning ancestors and that wealth ahould most certainly be taxed on that and they should be paying what was owed but never given. Same for many State governments that benefited from slavery, and spent decades after emancipation. Fighting to segregate. They should be paying. Should it go to individuals? No I don't think so, but it should be going to support systems and betterment of disenfranchised neighborhoods and communities of blacks that are by and large descendents of slaves and also towards education to squash bullshit revisionist history like the "Lost Cause Myth" , war of Northern Aggresion myth, and the Civil War wasn't about Slavery Myth.
