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.

I was just saying, it's not a direct thing. I mean, you can disagree with the war but your taxes still pay for it. =/
Anyways, I think reparations should be paid because it would increase the overall knowledge in people about what happened and what's still going on today. But even more then that, I think that we as a people don't have a history like all the other people do. I mean it's like, "For 200 years, niggas was slaves, sang, a couple were smart and they picked cotton." But for that whole period of time all other people had their history still going on and advancing as a people. Then, when the slaves were freed, they were still never seen as equal because they never had that whole time to advance socially. It carried on and you still see the effects today, we were never really a part of society but are still treated like we should be up to the standards.
If that made sense. =/ |
