Interesting thing here I found on Quora and it resonated with me. Just wanted to share.
I’m black and I wonder when white people will pay us reparation. Why not?
Hello. Bkack woman here. Let me answer
Whats wrong with black people? You have the audacity to even want reparations when YOU WAS NEVER A SLAVE! Plus, not every white person owned slaves or was a slave master. If you did research, you would know that it was the UPPER high class rich white people that had slaves. Majority of slaves went to Brazil! It was only 1–6% black slaves from Africa sent to America. Others went to the Carribeans and other places! Also, if you did research, you would then find out that white people were SOLD slaves by…other black people!! So where is those reparations from Africans?! There’s literally the Dahomey Tribe that was fighting the French(white people) to KEEP slavery! How about the Ashanti Tribe fighting the English during Queen Victoria reign? They sold their own(not rival tribes before u go use the “Rival tribes were selling another” excuse). Also, why arent white women in Barbary given reparations?! You do know black men sold BOTH black women and white women into slavery?! But thats quiet. Im a free black woman but im tired of this victim mindset. My family came from nothing and a bad country and worked their butt off! My family is full of lawyers, Marine members, actors, doctors, and cooks. We never asked for any reparations or try to use our race as excuses! I am US Marine and I love this country. I made it far! I earn my rank! I never made excuses or beg in this country. I found out my family were sl@v3s AND sl@v3masters! Im not a victim. All this can be answered if you did a history search. The past hurts and it was disgusting but youre not a victim. Stoo being lazy and entitled for something u didnt go through.
