I don't recall saying that white people was the only group that gave money to the government. Please quote that part of my post for me. What I'm saying is this; The majority of the people alive TODAY were one of two things, A. Not born until after slavery had been abolished or B. Not old enough to understand what the hell was going on. So, tell me why the American people should be paying money to people, the majority of which, were not even involved in slavery? I never enslaved anybody. My dad never enslaved anybody. My fucking grandpa (even though he was alive while slavery was going on) never enslaved anybody. The majority of white people alive weren't involved in slavery, likewise for the black people. THAT makes paying reparations pointless.
