if I did anything like that to one of his family member's, he'd go after Me for millions in a "wrongful death" lawsuit in a sneeze.

That's a cute dance step, but visiting the guilt of parties long dead upon their entire race unto the nth generation is a rather different matter.

Not being a USian I'm likely missing some important info about this whole 'slavery' and 'reparations' schtick despite our media pretty much just regurgitating the same bullshit the rest of you get force fed.

So, could someone grownup and knowledgeable about such things bring me up to speed on how much effort have the black African American negro people of colour put into sorting this shit out with the Arabs and Black Africans who enslaved them in the first place on the west coast of Africa?

And how many have opted to be repatriated to what is now Liberia - set up on the west coast of Africa, from whence the slaves were enslaved, specifically to be a home for freed slaves, including the 16% who were traded to USia?

It seems to me that freed slaves & or prisoners in general would want, first and foremost to go home. Why aren't they exercising that option?

And why is it only the descendants of the 16% in USia who are kicking up this big shit storm about it?

it doesn't matter if, for example, blacks have been given so much welfare over the last 50+ years that they have been completely "repaid" for the handicap of having been slaves

Got a source for that?

What kind of source would suggest that 50 years of handouts makes up for 400 years of forced displacement and subjugation followed by another century of active marginalization?

The most socially acceptable bigotry is aimmed at......drum roll....WHITE MEN! We are today's multi-purpose scapegoat for the woes of everyone else.

White men made the best societies in the world, the best technology in the world, the best music in the world, the best movies in the world.

It's amazing how white men get slammed more than anyone and yet have contributed more than anyone.
