and just sum FYI... blacks wouldnt be the 1st to recieve reparations. Jappanese americans have, Koreans, Native Americans, South Africans, Jews and at least 10 different body of peoples.

a white kid told me today that Blacks in the US are among the highest paid people of African Descent. and that he should be happy with the way we are living now. so thats why we dont need repararions...

but when i asked him to compare the cost of living in america to the cost of liveing in other countries he couldnt do that. but in saying that, It costs 5x as much to live in the US as it does in other countries, so the standard of living isnt "much" different. Noted that sum african couontries like Rowanda are WAAAAY worse off than the grimest hoods of the US but thats an exception to the rule.... but even still the residual effects of slavery are omnipresent in almost all facets of life in the US and Africa.

I'll start to talk about the Wealth Gap between african americans and european ameicans later...

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

if slavery never happened then chances are that black people wouldnt have come over here because they were perfectly fine with the way their lives were in africa

there is historical proof that Western Africans traveled as to the Americas and did trade with the natives... please brush up on your history... it is safe to say that eventually Africans, through contact with native americans would have eventual come to inhabit the continent

dont believe the stereotypes. do your homework

and as for ppl that aren't originally from the US paying as well...
look at it like this, If they can come to the US and enjoy the benifits of racism and the other freedoms the US has to offer then they should be apart of the healing process. Nothing in this world is free...
