ummmm 1 thing before i start... Native Americans have received reparations... They recieve scolarships and other econmical benifits from the US govt. look into that.

i wouldnt expect u to understand the long term effects slavery has had on the economic, and mental status of common day african americans, for the simple fact that u are a foreigner...

but picture this... lets say slavery never existed... The "Jim Crowe Laws" and "Black Codes" that my Grandparents went through, and to sum extent my parents, are deserving enough to recieve reparations alone.

and as for the irish... thats another subject and i dont know enough about it to have a set opinion on. so i wont speak on it
