The reparations debate collapses when history is reduced to a morality play with one villain, one victim, and one checkbook. Slavery was not a uniquely American invention. It was a human institution, practiced across civilizations, including by some Indigenous nations. The Oklahoma Historical Society notes that slavery among the Five Tribes was abolished by new treaties after the Civil War, and current Freedmen-descendant citizenship fights show those legacies remain unresolved. So spare us the kindergarten history. If the multiculturalists want serious moral accounting, then account seriously: tribes, empires, Africans, Europeans, Arabs, Democrats, Republicans, all of it. History is receipts, not slogans.
Reparations? How about the ancestors of the 400,000 Northern (Union) soldiers killed during the Civil War in attempting to end slavery????? Does any one of those families of white Northern soldiers get reparations for giving up their lives to abolish slavery. The entire reparations argument is reverse racism.
The question is: But for how long? Muslims are quietly invading communities, but communities here are waking up and fighting back legally (and other ways) after watching what's going on in Europe where France has all but capitulated with 20% of its population being Muslims. Same can be said for blacks. Those that are wanting reparations are only doing it in "blue states". Voters must fight back. There can't be that many democrats in those states to override conservative, Republican voters, unless the cheat is on. And, that's not going to continue too much longer either.

Of course it is. Everything blacks do & demand is based on their racism.
The problem is that they are outnumbered by 12 to 1 in the population.
The problem is that we let them get away with it.

You’re more hopeful
Than I. I just see judges releasing rapists and murderers and no one holding those judges accountable.
