we talked about this in my history class. do you think black people should get reparations for slavery?
I actually do think so, and for these reasons. 1. they were PROMISED 2. slavery was an institution that not only displaced a people, but destroyed their culture and history 3. it would help the economy reparations would cause each person of african descent (about 36 million in america)to get at least $10k. That would lead to new houses being purchased, cars bought, and educations paid for. Small businesses would be started too. And after all, Jews got reparations from the german gov't because of the holocaust, native americans get money for college from the feds, adn Japanese americans too. Slavery wasn't formally apologized for until bill clinton. |

I personally don't think I deserve reparations for having slaves that were ancestors. It's just a great way to get instant cash simply for being black
 .Thing is, it's an easily justifiable way to give handout to americans that could be used to boost consumption in the US. Perhaps a better way for dealing with this would be to do the whole scholarship thing. |

QUOTE(BamBamBoogie @ Apr 13 2009, 09:20 PM) Slaves that were ancestors? Hmmm... Someone needs to practice proofreading.I laughed pretty hard at this one. I don't feel like I'm black, but if I did, I wouldn't feel like I should receive reparations, even if I had ancestors who were slaves. If I was a slave, I'm sure it would be a different story, but no African American alive today could honestly say he or she was at one point a slave in the United States. I'm sure there are one or two that could say that he or she was a slave in another third world country, but that's undoubtedly the minority, and either way it's a null point. |
