Reparations

[Thunk]

Hundreds of thousands of union soldiers fought, bled, and died fighting to win the civil war and end slavery.

The way I see it...the descendants of slaves should pay reparation to the descendants of union soldiers for rescuing their sorry asses from the bonds of slavery.

Discuss.

My dad was a tank commander in the 3rd infantry div.

Slaves were not free until the 13th Amendment was ratified, December 6, 1865

Did the government pay reparations to the slave owners? I mean, they had spent quite an investment purchasing laborers off of the then-legal slave-trade market, and then they came along and took all of their property off of them leaving companies and plantations everywhere with a huge manpower shortage!

There is no free money and never was. Here's a song from 1975 to make you feel better while you hunt a job, like the rest us did, until we retired.

It is considered war booty so it doesn't have to be compensated for.

Gee, I missed out, I never got a phone NOR reparations. Another sign of Black Privilege.

Every dime the Treasury collects is free money to them.

This was had little to do with slavery .

I am from the deep south. My family is of Scottish ancestry that came down out of the southern Appalachians. They were all far too poor to own plantations. One set of my grandparents were literally sharecropping in the 1940s. I have no inclination to entertain the idea of reparations for today's blacks now generations removed from the slaving days when they are given the freedoms and economic opportunities in America that most of the world lacks.

Another non-issue the racist right gets needlessly upset about.
