Are we on the road to paying "reparations" to blacks?

Question

I think that would be a terrible injustice to the rest of us. The resolution the House passed tonight suggests we're well on the way toward paying reparations. With Obama, I'll bet it gets put on the front burner.

Answer 1

No. If the government had money to pay for reparations (whether they're right or not), they'd spend it on something else.

Answer 2

Wow. No. It's not going to happen. I wouldn't mind if it did, but it's not going to. Relax.

Answer 3

I have no problem with paying reparations to any citizen of any color that can produce valid evidence that he or she was a slave.

Answer 4

It's just another way the man is keeping us down

Answer 5

eff that..if that's the case than we owe the native americans a shltload of $$$$$!!!

Answer 6

Well, if they get reparations for their ancestors being slaves, I want reparations for the time my great-grandmother was looked at cross-eyed.  I'm sure China will lend us even more money.

Answer 7

I hope not. I have never owned slaves, so I don't see why we should pay the great-great grandkids of slaves for something that never happened to them. If we're going on that route, I expect full compensation from England for the way the Irish were treated all those years ago.

Answer 8

No, won't happen

all the slaves are long dead

but, if you find one that's still alive..

:)

Answer 9

I don't think that is going to happen

besides most people cant prove their ancestry anyway

(I can but that is neither here nor there)

Answer 10

Why not...after we deduct all the Well fare and food stamps that they collected through the years...Ad then subs tract ...then I know the blacks will own to the whites money...lots of money.

Answer 11

I don't owe them reparations I never had a slave, as a matter of fact I slaved on my job for years  without even an apology from my boss.

Let's see now give a million dollars each to 13% of the population, so that would be how much?

Let's see 13% of 300 is....? oh my gosh they better not do it!

Answer 12

Well, you're stirring up something with information that just isn't accurate.  The house apologized for slavery and Jim Crowe laws.  Has nothing to do with reparations.

Answer 13

No, you're paranoid.  Even most blacks don't want reparations.  The only reparations some ask for is better schools and a more accurate teaching of US history so that they can be on an equal standing like everyone else.  Many parts of the country still treat blacks like second-class citizens or worse.

Answer 14

No that was just a retarded movement years ago. Obama wouldn't alienate white people by trying to get "the black vote", he already has won that.

Answer 15

only if obomba gets elected.... which won't happen! ha ha
