Slavery reparations?

[Lonestar_logic]

why should their decedants get to profit off of slavery?

Profit? They lost money. They bought the slaves then had to set them free. They're out their purchase money.

but they got to keep everything the life times full of labor that salves were forced to give them

That's what happens when you are the major investor. You reap the rewards.

 

[koshergrl]

Only the people who have amassed great wealth on the backs of slaves should be forced to pay.

Sadly, most of those people lost everything during the Civil War.

So let's just make the democrats pay. It's their fault anyway.

 

[R.D.]

how many black babies were starved to death by slave owners?

You want dead babies to get money?

 

[Lonestar_logic]

Give what they have to people whop can prove slave linage

You want to punish everyone for the sins of a few?

 

[Truthmatters]

ah ha


your true nature shows.

crime is not supposed to pay huh.

slavery is a crime


they are still profiting from a crime done long ago.

did we let the Nazis keep their plunder?

 

[Truthmatters]

When we find Nazi plunder do we give it to the Nazi decendents or to the desendants of the people it was stolen from?

 

[Lonestar_logic]

sure go get it from them.

They're not the ones crying about the past.

fuck crying this is about not profiting off the slavery of human beings.


these decendents would have never had this property without free slave labor

The land came before the slaves, not after or because of.

You should look at the reason for having slaves. Yes it was profitable, that's kind of the point.

 

[Truthmatters]

What you people are suggesting is we should give it to the progeny of the Nazis who stole it and not to the progeny of the people who had it stolen from them by the Nazis.

Pretty fucking evil of you people

 

[Asclepias]

So blacks that owned slaves were racist too?

The ones that owned slaves that they were not trying to keep safe from whites were racists.

A simple yes would have sufficed.

A simple yes would have avoided the fact that free blacks bought their families but could not free them according to law. Something you racists like to use in your claims that lots of Blacks owned black slaves.

because you are in possession of stolen property that does not make it yours by default huh

Let's have some names, TDM. WHO is profiting today from slavery 200 years ago?

I'm all atwitter to see what you come up with.

Make sure you provide names and show us exactly how the income can be attributed to slavery, in what way...

 

[Lonestar_logic]

Prove they were stolen.

You should look at the reason for having slaves. Yes it was profitable, that's kind of the point.

and with the profit from slave wages they bought more land and more slaves.


It was a profit thing fool.



give back the stolen property

 

[koshergrl]

because you are in possession of stolen property that does not make it yours by default huh

What stolen property? The slaves? Are you referring to them as *stolen property*?

Why yes, I think you are...

Who? Be specific now for if you're going to throw something like that out there than you must have a list of these profiteers! From what I gather anybody living in the States can thank what they have from the sweat of our forefathers! The African slaves, Irish indentured servants, no wage earning Chinese, Korean sweatshop workers, etc.

 

[Truthmatters]

because you are in possession of stolen property that does not make it yours by default huh

Prove they were stolen.

easy to do


did you receive property that was passed down to you from someone who owned slaves ?

then you have to forfit it to pay the decendents of slaves.

we didn't let the Nazi give stolen property to their kids did we?

Bull crap... It isn't my fault...I did not do it...

Immaterial! As a victim of liberal think, you are responsible and must suffer the consequences. You are for personal responsibility, aren't you?

Immie

One must be responsible, yes, but only for their own actions, but the question you ask is shook we be responsible for what we don't do... The answer I possess is no, but we are each entitled to our own opinion, although mine is right, at least on this subject...

I had hoped you would read the sarcasm in my post. I am not certain that you did. Either way, I hope I am passing it along now.
