7 thoughts on “Reparations”

  1. A dear friend of mine was interned in the relocation camps when he was a young child. The US eventually paid him reparations. Another friend (now deceased) was a Holocaust survivor. Germany paid reparations. In both of those cases, the government directly involved paid money to those directly wronged. How can anyone justify paying reparations to someone for something that ended about 160 years ago? None of the people who were wronged are still alive, and none of the people who kept others as slaves are still alive either.

    1. You don’t think Korean Americans in LA owe a debt to the people who try to burn down their stores over slavery and Jim Crow in Alabama? Well, they certainly do, but they’ll break even because Polish Americans need to pay reparations to Koreans because of the Japanese occupation and exploitation of that country, because there are surely some Poles living in Japan now.

    2. And what about mixed race people or black people who migrated more recently who have higher incomes and what about families tied to blacks who owned slaves and… It really gets messy and people are sure to fight over who should get more money because all if these grevience groups wear a shroud of supremicism.

      1. It’s basically just looters who are too lazy to carry home a big screen TV, and just want the government to pay Amazon to ship it to their house, except they want a free house, too.

  2. After we pay out reparations, we’ll get sued by everybody in Africa for reparations for not taking their ancestors as slaves, because African American per capita income is $23K a year, whereas Africa’s average per-capita income is about $600 a year. So we owe every black African $22.K for every year they weren’t descended from a US slave, which comes to about $3.4 quadrillion dollars. So every white, Hispanic, or Asian American has to cough up $12 million dollars

  3. Reparations must include a requirement that the application must be made by a person who has permanently left the country first. And after payment is received, they can never return, not even visits “back to the old country” to see family.
