Mad Reperations for Black people?

I am not sure if you know this or not, but some black people are pushing for reperations from the relatives of white people who owned slaves. I have few problems with this. My first one is this: Why is the government trying to force people to give reperations. If they want to help the reletives of slaves let them do it out of their own pockets instead of putting a political gun to peoples heads and pickpocketing them. Also, why should people be forced to pay for the sins of their ancestors. If someone steals someone's car, sells their animals to an unscrupulous chinese restaurant for money, and eggs the person's house who should be forced to pay fines and restitutions? The perrson who did it, or his or her children or great grandchildren? Thirdly, how would the money be divvied up to the people whose ancestors were enslaved. would the relatives get more money if the slave served the most time on jethros tobakky field? Would they get it on who worked the hardest, longest, in worst conditions etc? What we would have on our hands is a public display of bathos and a lot of grandstanding simply for the sake of seeing who gets the most of the reperation pie. this also makes black people look bad. It makes it seem as blacks will always pull the race cards for perks. And, I save the most ridiculous argument(and the most destructive one to the case for reperations in my opinion)


Reperations from Mongolia: All white people should unite to collect money from those evil enslaving bastards, the mongols. About one thousand years ago, Mongols were enslaving Slavic people and Anglo Saxon people. After bloody conquests in which women were sold and the elderly and children were mercilessly slaughtered, those devilish opportunists would take the most athletic people and use them for their own means. Barbaric torturing carnivals and feasts in which Mongols would sandwhich whites between boards and conduct a feast on top of the bords, merrily reveling while the people were slowly crushed. In fact if you look at the word slave, it is merely the word slav with an e at the end of it. Sice the mongols did many things to white people that are comparitively as bad if not worse as what black owning slaveholders did, anglo Saxons should demand as much if not more reperations as the blacks are demanding. sound silly? No less silly than blacks demanding reperation. Agree or disagree?

I have to agree with you here Statikk. It is stupid for the descents to demand reperations for what happened to their ancestors. You don't punish the child for the parents crimes...

That is a laughably idiotic idea. Need I say more? No.

Positive Discrimination is an Oxymoron, and this looks suspiciously like an attempt at it...

It seems in recent years that black people have been trying to increase racial segregation, while complaining that they aren't being treated equally. I find this very annoying.
