Reparations for slavery

I'm curious what folks think about the Dem presidential candidates talking about the government paying reparations to, I assume, blacks in the US for slavery in our past. Is it just a ploy to reel back in black voters who are in Blexit mode? Why do none of them address modern-day slavery which exists in astonishing numbers worldwide, including in the US?

Some of my ancestors were Greek. The Romans owe me, damnit!

What ethnicity have never been enslaved, or have never enslaved others? We would all have to pay reparations to each other. How do you quantify and monetize slaver?

Slavery is bad. Let’s all fight it. That, we owe to each other.

US blacks would still be slaves if the US Constitution hadn’t worked as the Framer’s intended. Abolition was achieved. We have to deduct that value from reparations payments, it’s only fair.

If someone brings up reparation I go on the offensive and demand a refund and state they have been over reparated already. look at the technology they have access to to improve their lives, Black America is the 11th most wealthy nation because of the inventions of their slavers. The difference in wealth, quality of life from an African tribe to the African American is reparations.

Reparations for slaves? Are there still slaves? If there are none then who are the reparations for? Once you go down that road you will realize that no matter how much money you throw at a social problem, the more victims you create. If victim generation is your goal then this would be a good thing. If removing the crutches of victimhood is your purpose then we must stop recognizing diversity as victimization.

I've wondered how the Dems plan to handle this specifically. Who owes money, and to whom? Is the government just going to pay out the reparations with our tax money? Who receives the payments? How do they prove that they are descendants of slaves? Is this just a boost for the DNA companies? Do mixed race Americans pay with their white DNA and receive with their black DNA? I like ReggieMars' comment below: Reparations are for chumps. 🙂

Reparations to descendants of slavery and Jim Crow from the GOP before the 2020 elections would take black vote from the Democrat Plantation. Be smart. The Neo Nazis support reparations to blacks instead billions and trillions to Israel. Democrats never supported reparations because white , Asia , Muslim , Latino Democrats are racists in stealth against the black skin and red skin! Too dark! The GOP need to support HR Bill 40 and study reparations before the DNC racists in stealth .

They do not address the slavery that exists in the world today becacuse there is no money to be made there.
The currency is in the political clout that can be used by black racists in the USA.

We the people of all creed and color need to stand together for the now. Against the corrupt system that enslaved us all in the present.
