No black person alive today was a slave so they don't deserve shit based on that alone.
No slavery doesn't effect blacks today and millions of poor, broke, dumb, poverty level white people would disagree that blacks are only poor because of slavery.
All of the millions of black doctors, lawyers, actors, police chiefs, business owners, congressman and so on also are proof slavery and racism do not effect blacks.
If life in America is so bad for blacks then they can go to another country that will be better for them. They are free to leave anytime they want.
Giving them reparations will just lead to feeding racism. 1 it acknowledged that America is racist towards. 2 they will get something free just by blaming racism which will make them cry about racism even more.
It comes from tax money. Why should millions of people who aren't racist have to have their tax money used to pay? I know I don't want my tax money be used to give to a bunch of blacks who didn't do anything to deserve it or will appreciate it, or work for it.
How come there is no reparations for the Chinese that were worked to death as slaves laying the railroad down across the country?
Blacks want to be treated as equals? Well being treated special and wanting special treatment isn't equal.
