Question

Should land be redistributed to black people? After all there have been centuries of discrimination.?

Answer 1

MJ is so right! I was just going to say that plus I feel that as a society we need to stop sayin well my ppl went through this so I'm entitled to something. We should put that behind us and just focus on equality in the present.

Answer 2

then what about the blacks who came here recently--say 50 years ago or less--do you give them anything--i think not---if anyone deserves anything  it should be the indians and i'm not indian

Answer 3

Mugabe tried that one in Zimbabwe and the country is currently down the tube big time.

Answer 4

No. Not one single black person who was a slave in 19th century America is alive today. Maybe a child of a slave. Maybe. And a handful of grandchildren. What entitles an individual that belongs to a race that has faced trials throughout the course of our history to land that was never theirs? If land was ever seized from a man, we should return it to that very same man. But I'm sure that was so long ago, he is dead now. Blacks think they are entitled to things because they as a race have faced discrimination. However, the black youth of today have faced nothing compared to what their relatives faced 50-100 years ago, yet they expect handouts and compensation. Being discriminated against doesn't entitle you to land. How do you measure how much someone has been discriminated against? Where are you going to get this land? Take it away from people that have rightfully earned it and did nothing to black people. Does that make sense? Absolutely not.

Answer 5

if everyone throughout history gave back what was taken the world would be a very different place
