Should the decendants of American slaves receive reparations?

Reparations?

We had a class discussion on this today and I was interested to hear what everyone here thought about slave descendants getting reparations form the government. What do you think?

Never even heard of that till now. That has to be by far the stupidiest thing our goverment has ever done, and they've done some pretty stupid things..

Most of the time SpellJammer dissaproves of the goverment funding much of anything, but something like this moreso. What does what happend to your anscestors, hell, even your grandmother, have to do with the goverment? Nothing.. Why doesn't everybody get a break simply because bad stuff happend down thier family line? Infact, why not just make the United States into a socialism right now and call it a day?

Sometimes SpellJammer thinks Stalin runs this country..

just to clarify, this hasn't actually happened, but there has been debate

well looked what happened to the native americans......
that's completly understandable in my opinion but no not to slavery ancestors....its partialally their fault any way....selling people in africa by africans...

If we do this, it will cause so much resentment within our country that more harm will be done than has been done. We need to educate people, not pay them off.

True about the natives, but they own peices of land, which they've proven to either make into beautiful lively terrain, or own succesful gambeling industries. What is a black guy going to do with a hundred dollar paycheck for his greatgreat grandfather being shoe shine boy?

Besides, we Americans treat slavery as like the worse thing we ever did. And as said before, slavery go's onto this day in many other countries. And if you don't think Americans don't own slaves today, then you are deffinitly sheltered. Wether it's big buisness sweatshops, or cheap labour on the black market, slave-ownership is nothing new. Exsept now women and children are the popular thing, not negros..

I think I should get reperations for my Irish ancestors who were treated badly coming off the boat. I also think I should get reperations for my Italian ancestors..something bad must have happened to them..aw hell I just want money actually.

i think we shouldn't get it. i know y'all gonna hate what i'm about say but it's the truth.all it's gone do is go back to the rich.it won't be use by most blacks.it won't be used for college,new businesses

Yah, the filibuster is pretty ****in stupid. Stupid Bob Dole.

No, I discriminate against people discriminating against shit. And what has Warcraft to do with any of that?

I'll assume the warcraft reference has something to do with 'WOW'
