You find a blk man speaking up for the uplifting of his people and they will find another blk man to oppose it.

Isn’t that the truth!
He is not from America😂😂. He wouldn't get reparations anyway. He just don't want us to get it.
Exactly that's why there are more Black on black crimes than white on white crimes. 🤷🏿♂️
Thats right We have no Unity as Black People and this is the result.
As a black American I don’t feel comfortable letting an immigrant discuss reparations for us because they don’t qualify so yes they are against it.
Its more complex than that. Lets say your ancestors were originally from the US but sent to the Caribbean and you have proof. How could you not qualify ?
@@pauobunyon9791 then you Caribbean not black American so you don’t qualify if your people were sent to the Caribbean
@@Jeff-xv6gk If your ancestors built America during slavery and were sold like commodities to another plantation outside America you dont deserve reparations ? What is the logic here ?
My family came to the US twenty years ago. So yes, for sure I am against it for obvious reasons.
You say N!GG2r and its ok. you say us and its OK let someone white in public say you people and you get all skunk ape over it. How about you get a job and stop with the hand outs. Its like going to a zoo where the Giraffe come running over because they know free food handouts are coming. Learn to fix the rot that is black culture. Learn to rely on yourself and not handouts. Learn to act like normal humans and stop Burning Looting and Murdering. Just learn to be good people.
It’s not black Americans fault that the US has procrastinated since 1890 on this issue. The Black Community has been pursuing this since just after the Civil War.

I don’t think “procrastinated” is the right word. Perhaps “deflected” would be better. Doesn’t matter now, I suppose. After the affirmative action decision, reparations are out for quite a while to come.
You should get reparations , the hard part will be trying to find out who or what tribe it was that sold your ancestor into slavery and if they even have any money at all.
@@chrismaurer2075 : I see you’ve come to troll. But it’s ok… we have an entire USA that benefitted and TONS of white families who did the same. I’ll just take my portion out of their still existing wealth. Thanks for the concern, tho.
It's interesting that there is 2 black people representing opposite sides when the vast majority of black people are on the same side on the issue. The disagreement is between black and white. Let this be a lesson on how they do things.
He's non black American. That would be like having Chinese speak for the Japanese and their reparations. It's a hustle they do.
There needs to be more studies on reparations
It shouldn't be a disagreement between blacks and whites. It was black Africans that sold fellow black Africans into slavery. First point of call for reparations is Africa.
I SPEAK FOR EVERY BLACK PERSON WHEN I SAY STOP THIS REPARATIONS CRAP
Of course black people are on the side of more free stuff without having to earn it 😂
Fun fact: only 8-10% of black Americans have slave ancestors the rest came after slavery was ended. Only 3% of America owned slaves out of that 3% over 7,000 slave owners where black. Out of the 2 million slaves in America at the time over 300,000 of them were white. But if this is the route we want to go African Americans owe me a lot of money because my ancestors are Irish so if you are Muslim or African decent I want my reparations for the centuries of slavery and genocide on my people they committed
If he doesn't believe in reparations then don't accept the payout!!
Or give me his share
Coleman hughs does not have American ancestry
Don't know no slave. Never been a slave
Thank you , and immigrants shouldn't have a opinion or be talking for foundational black Americans
He isn't going to get them because they will be LINEAGE based🫶🏽🖤1
So I wonder why nobody mentioned Native Americans, their descendants definitely get reparations. Seems very dishonest for nobody to not mention them at all. 🤔🤔
Was just thinking the same thing
So many groups have been discriminated against, should write checks to just about everyone
@@superior120v5 do you mean the groups that CHOSE to leave their country and come here?
@bettyboopsie9836 discrimination is discrimination whether native American, Asian, Black etc, don't think anyone should put a monetary value on it. What happens if these people want more when they blow through it, it's a bad precedent to set 👎
@@superior120v5 the wealth gap is solely because of slavery. Literally the blacks in the us made all white people rich in America.
Oh shocking, you’re telling me the people who will benefit from that money are all in for it? That’s wild.
Reparations is not just for slavery…it’s for all the civil rights violations done by & allowed by the U.S. govt
Not to mention the countless generations that have had success barred to them via redlining, bussing, failure to pay Veterans benefits, medical abuse, legislation etc.
@@BrooklynNY1979 those are the civil rights violations done by & allowed by the U.S. govt, I was talking about. All of which have tort & Bivins claims. All those Black Codes are now enshrined as checks on the freedoms of all Americans. Revoke them all & pay us those damages or this country will collapse. It’s already 60 years into the collapse 🤷🏾♂️
@@BrooklynNY1979 No they're specifically talking about slavery because it makes no sense, is racist and unconstitutional.
Its just a way of avoiding the discussion of paying reparation for the things you mentioned because those are actually do-able. Unlike slavery, Many of the victims and perpetrators are still alive.
Slavery only.....if u include other violations you will open up the door for blk immigrants to latch on
Exactly
Coleman Hughes is not qualified to speak on this topic. Nor would he even be eligible to get reparations. Stop asking the wrong people they want it if they can qualify. There’s no timetable on reparations We are still here living with the damage
Yea he’s Puerto Rican…..
@@infinitedreaming222 exactly he wouldn’t qualify for these reparations. So his opinion is not to be given weight. He clearly doesn’t understand how slavery and Jim Crow has and continues to affect my family and community as a whole.
America owes the debt and should pay us. Immediately
@@infinitedreaming222He's a piece of sh!t. I pray he goes away permently in some dark place. No mercy for race traitors and immigrant back stabbers.
Not to mention the slavers got compensated for their slaves when they set their slaves free and the slaves were promised 40 acres and a mile as reconciliation but the government never made good on their promise.
Amen!!!
I think it is dishonorable that NBC would select a non American Descendant of Slaves (ADOS) to discuss this matter. If there are ADOS that do not want to participate, they should not be forced to accept reparations.
From your example that would mean Obama has no right to discuss civil rights seeing how he has no family that is of slave blood.
yes. dishonorable. That is the point.
Yep!
You know white people don't get free money for being white, black privilege 🤷♂️
CRY MORE: ya ain't gettin' sheeit!
In 2005, JP Morgan Chase, currently the biggest bank in the US, admitted that two of its subsidiaries - Citizens' Bank and Canal Bank in Louisiana - accepted enslaved people as collateral for loans. If plantation owners defaulted on loan payment the banks took ownership of these slaves.
JP Morgan was not alone. The predecessors that made up Citibank, Bank of America and Wells Fargo are among a list of well-known US financial firms that benefited from the slave trade.
😮
Powerful facts, TY.
Thanks for sharing this! I just did a video on my channel highlighting how the slaves in Louisiana influenced today’s New Orleans cuisine.
You realize that democrats were the pro-slave and republicans fought for their freedom right? I say this because most vote democrat and yet nobody talks about it.
This is the same Chase Bank (the boat was registered to them)that a couple years ago had a ship, seized at a port with the payload of 300,000,000 pounds of cocaine on it!!!?? 🤦🏽♀️ that sure blew out the headlines real quick!
If youre African American, as in Black American, and YOU do NOT want reparations... THEN DO NOT ACCEPT THEM! The rest of us WILL GLADLY accept them.
Also, what does this guys mean by, "What do reparations look like in today's 21st century?"
Like bruh, what do you mean? Money. OBVIOUSLY MONEY!
Reparations comes in many forms not just money, "bruh"
As a White brother I don't think your gonna get it. Maybe African cheiftains have some cash for you? Or Liberia has a spot for you? I dunno man. You got good streets, a roof, a cellphone, university, library's, good public transport, jobs, comedy clubs, a decent multiculturalism going down? Stop thinking about being black all the fuggin time? It's driving you racist crazy lol
Us vietnamese dont even get reparations, what make yall ni think you’re qualified
There have been several government policies throughout history that disproportionately excluded or disadvantaged black Americans, limiting their access to wealth-building opportunities. Here are a few examples:
1. Slavery and Jim Crow laws: Slavery itself was a government-sanctioned institution that denied black Americans their freedom and economic opportunities. Even after the abolition of slavery, the implementation of Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation and perpetuated systemic inequalities.
2. Redlining: In the 1930s, the Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC) implemented a practice known as redlining, which systematically denied mortgage loans and financial services to predominantly black neighborhoods. This discriminatory practice hindered black Americans' ability to purchase homes and build equity, contributing to long-term wealth disparities.
3. Discriminatory lending practices: In the mid-20th century, practices such as "racial zoning" and "restrictive covenants" prevented black Americans from buying property in certain areas. Additionally, discriminatory lending practices, such as predatory lending and racial bias in mortgage lending, further limited black Americans' access to credit and fair loan terms.
4. Exclusion from New Deal programs: Some New Deal programs implemented during the 1930s, such as the Social Security Act and the National Labor Relations Act, initially excluded agricultural and domestic workers-occupations predominantly held by black Americans. These exclusions limited access to crucial social safety nets and worker protections.
These policies and practices, among others, contributed to the racial wealth gap and hindered black Americans' ability to accumulate wealth and access economic opportunities. ✂️👉🏾✅
Sounds like you are making excuses. Obama had no problem becoming the President of the US.
@@rack9458Obama was born in Kenya and is a puppet for symbolism. He's not a Foundational Black American and doesn't know our struggles, which means he doesn't represent Foundational Black Americans! I'm 36 years old and own multiple successful businesses in Los Angeles, and the majority Blacks I know are doing well. With that being said, my group of Foundational Black Americans are still owed reparations and we will get the reparations!
@@menewsome I'm black and the last thing I or anyone in my family needs is reparations! If you think race relations are tense now after all the BLM crap, just wait till reparations are paid!
@@rack9458 Are you a Foundational Black American? If so you and yours don't have to receive the reparations and if your aren't a Foundational Black American you have no say so. Black Americans don't care what these people do when we get reparations, there's literally nothing they can do that they haven't already. You keep living in fear, I can show you better than I can tell you what I'm about.
@@menewsome How is your black life any different than mine? Foundational or not?
The survey result surely show what you would expect.
They are still at it. They went and got this New York City Public Transit Subway Pole Dancing Puerto Rican (he was in his underwear, I might add) to chime in on whether the FBA should get reparations. This immigrant wouldn't be eligible for lineage-based reparations. And what makes him an authority on the subject? It's like they fetched this guy out of thin air. Never mind going to the thought leaders in the black community on this subject. No, go get this person to give his worthless opinion (objections) to reparations to the former slaves of the United States of America.
NBC News. Interesting. I think I'll put you on the same shelf as Fox News.
These people have no shame (or dignity).
Whites are against REPARATIONS because if would even the playing field. And everyone knows that they would´t make it on an even playing field.
💯
Yea a bunch of lazy black people wanting handouts for something they have never experienced
It doesn’t matter what any survey say, reparation to the descendants of slaves is a debt that is owed and way due. Reparation must be paid in cash, the same as other groups that received reparations.
It has been paid. It's called welfare.
It has not been paid yet
@@kalesmonroe2556 Welfare is not reparation at all they also owe us back pay for the amount of time it took them to get us our money and should be made to pay out for the next 250 years we gotta hit you fuckas where it hurts.
Perhaps.
However, ask yourself this;
Am I better off now than if my ancestor(s) never left Africa.
Who were owners of slaves? Affluent families. Those affluent families are now much more affluent along with many currently holding positions in government.
Majority Americans never owned slaves and should not pay reparations.
The amount requested is simply outrageous! Japanese lost more than any slaves and received average $20,000.
Well, yesterdays supreme court opinions have put the lid on reparations for quite a while.
WE NORTHERN STATES WILL NOT PAY REPARATIONS! we had no slavery and sacrificed our lives to end it
Uh….You had segregation…
@@Ashley10E what? No I didn't. Segregation was only in the South in the years AFTER the Civil War.
States like Vermont outlawed slavery 10 years before they even joined the U.S. & signed the Constitution in 1789.
Prove it.
Anyway what do you think Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad was about?
@@c.rutherfordThe opinions of the descendants of plantation owners are irrelevant less repossess the possessions that originated from the plantation a****** You're against that too I'm sure!
Thanks Chuck Todd, good interview, Black were given Land that was taken back, Blacks were promised 40 acres and a mule, never received it, someone should be accountable.
No, you weren't. Take a civics lesson, a history lesson and learn how things work.
@@teamamerica5987how do they work sir
@@teamamerica5987 Apparently you also need a civics class. General William T. Sherman DID promise some freed slaves plots of land of no more than 40 acres. Read Special Field Order No. 15. Abraham Lincoln was in agreement, but was not re-elected. Andrew Johnson, the next President, reneged.
@@leftway5282 Oh child. Military authority is subservient to civilian authority.
Now go read about the history of the field order (40 acres and a mule stupidity) and get back to everyone.
They chose Chuck Todd .Wow
What about the Irish slaves? Why do Irish not get reparations?
When ever Black people say the word Reparations all of the other Communities say what about us when ever the subject is on Black people we got to change the subject right? Come on man there is no other Race that have went through what Black people went through y'all can say y'all understand about you don't To thus day it is still a crime to ve Black in American a country many call Great
@PakalChicxulub From those who enslaved Americans, but not from Americans in general. A large percentage of American's ancestors were not even in America during slavery like mine. It should go without saying that we should not have to pay.
What about poor white folks?
@@bay5005 You obviously don't know that slavery in the United States hasn't ended.
It might look different, but it's still there, and it's not just "black" people any more.
@PakalChicxulub Police are (state and local) government supported entities so it's clearly not a genuine comparison. Slavery was conducted by private citizens and not the Federal Government. There was a Civil War over this issue because it was never supported on a National level. Therefore, the plaintiff would sue the private entity and not the Federal government.
The one black guy just looking for those buttery biscuits smh
you can butter my biscuit sunshine !!!
Our family came to USA with about $80 in 1980’s and now we make our living here. You tell me we will have to give money some other people for what happened to their ancestors 300 years ago… No!
Time doesn't pay debt. The Indians were given reparations in 1946 for land and territory that were stolen hundreds of years before the reparations were paid out. America is indebted to the black commmunity for hundreds of years and the time is now for the reparations to be paid
We need a Black tax period.😢😢
If we did then every white and other race would want to be considered as black for that kind of compensation. Even the Kardashians.
@Jackie Smith Reparations is not a free for all. It's for all who were forced to work free. There's a criteria, an injustice that establishes the necessity of reparations.
@Chief Sitting American The US dollar every day is losing value. We're on the verge of an economic collapse. A dime today, won't be worth a penny tomorrow. Speaking of today, the U.S. owes $31 trillion worldwide. If they can't pay the living, then they most certainly can't pay the dead. But whether they can or not, Uncle Sam is in debt and in bad shape.
@truth. I don't know the numbers but what about the whatever thousands or millions of whites in the US who have no ancestry to the slave days.
Statue of limitation for a crime is a double standard since there is a thing called a “RECORD !” Which means that people are held accountable for their crimes/actions centuries after they initially claimed another story

@@salamjihad3449But you have to think! The oppression didn’t end at slavery!! We as black people have been racially discriminated against any numerous ways since forever. So do some research before you try to "embarrass “ or talk down on a group of people dealing with a traumatic issue.
I hate how they always set us up to be divided. If the young man thinks he doesn't need or want what we as a people are owed he can just leave it on the table!!! More for the rest of us.

The question should be when will America pay
Simple question but why is nobody asking for reparations from the people that actually enslaved these people and sold them into the slave trade, I find it strange that this is never mentioned and black African Americans seem to just accept and are even proud of their African brothers whose ancestors enslaved them in the first place, It is odd when you think about it particularly with the amount of hatred towards whites for simply being white.
Why is there never any mention of reparations for the direct descendants of the white people that fought in the civil war to end slavery particularly those that were killed for the cause and why don't Black Americans love these same decedents instead of thinking that they are the enemy
Lost of blacks were kidnapped by the Portuguese and Spanish. All of us weren’t sold by Africans.
No money in it, those that sold the people in AFRICA they don't want that they want the US that's where the money is and they don't want to work lol
Thank you, you are spot on.
Too funny NO MONEY IN IT FOR THEM lol it would mean going to Africa !! what was the LAST country to stop slavery??? SURPRISE lol
@@dorothywashington In what world would someone pay for what they haven't done to people that it wasn't done to.
The people you want to pay are the decedents of those that fought and died for freedom.
Reparations are a joke and making a division and by the way check your history those Africans that had been enslaving other Africans for hundreds of years before a white man had even seen Africa knew exactly what they were doing, guess they just wanted a bit of money for nothing, ring any bells ??????
The government should pay reparations to all Americans for stealing their money through taxation and not using that money for its intended purpose.
Don't make this ish general!
no the government should take care of its debts to the slaves

@@WildnWithMarcus There are no "debts", or paper-work, for reparations. It's just a concept.

Of course they should. However, the trillion of dollars, land and resources owned would only be acquired through war. The oppressor will never give it up voluntarily.
💯
@ninobrown724 , because the government is still the government, and they were and are still involved in the enslavement of millions of Black people to this very day. The 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution bans slavery or involuntary servitude, EXCEPT when it is used as punishment for a crime. Unfair sentencing and unequal distribution of resources. It's systematic, not individual based. The US owes trillions of dollars and land to Black people. We all know this.
@@ninobrown724 It’s for more than Slavery clown
If someone wrongfully convicted, you should get paid?
Coleman Cruz Hughes (Born: 1996) is a child and has no real idea about discrimination in America. If his parents grew up in America then they would have a deeper understanding of what is discrimination in this country.
He’s also a grifter that found a way to profit from whites off of trading on race
Reparations are not going to happen. Floating it like it’s actual idea only serves to make more than half the country mad, and makes them turn off to hearing any other requests or arguments. By pushing for this you are shooting yourselves in the foot. It might sound fine in certain circles, but more broadly, even on the left, it’s a non-starter.
Ending slavery and getting civil rights made more than half the country mad, and we got it done ANYWAY. The white majority will always be on the immoral side of history. We don't care about your racist feelings.
Who cares about anti-Black racist people being mad. This is about the debt that is owed. The self-absorption is astounding.
It is going to happen. Alot of people thought the same way you do before enslaved people were freed.
I live in California. It’s already been promised. If black people asked for equity based on what most white American wants, black people would still be living in 80% poverty, educated by inferior outdated text books, and legally banned from voting in the segregated South.
This isn't a popularity contest. This is business. The half of the country who'll "get mad" @ us FBA demanding Reparations can take a hike.
The Consitution was written in 1776 and their descendents are still following this document in 2023! I guess Coleman hasn't heard of the Seminole War, and Rosewood. Many of the descendents received Reparations!

There is no statute of limitations for murder. Only when that promise is fulfilled uninterrupted it doesnt matter how long ago it happened. It still happened and was never repaired. There children benefited back then and some still today from the works of slavery which they are trying to continue with prisons system.
And I’m the tooth fairy.
People don't see this unfortunately.
@ninobrown724 You must be speaking for yourself. Never is a strong word. Have you ever heard of modern day slavery? I agree with you that yes we need to work like everyone else. But even that statement is easier said than done. Because 9 times out of 10 you are going to work for? Who is your boss right now that hired you. As far as never owning slaves is the narrative they try to push. It's been swept so far under the rug ever since. It's like a game of Monopoly. You start off with a few 500 dollar bills and a few 100 dollar bills to get you started in this game of life. But for Black's in America the majority never got to start off with any money and was forced to roll the dice anyway and landed on go directly to jail. No inheritance. Yes there are a few who made it but that percentage of the overall majority is very small. Their are other nations of people who have received reparations. Blacks were promised 40 acres and a mule and where did that end up going? You can't honestly sit here and say that white people haven't benefited with a wild head start from slavery which even after the emancipation proclamation was passed slavery took on a new form in the prison systems. Why do you think there was a Civil Rights movement in the 1st place? It never got repaired. They gave welfare programs and made people dependent on the government instead of setting them up to be self sustainable. Now I'm not saying slavery is like the way it was before but if you don't understand the new form it took then maybe that's something you should check into.
@@ninobrown724 well then by your logic why should young Jews still get reparations even tho they never experienced the holocaust?also white Americans won't be paying the reparations
Not only with the prison system, but, many other tactics been, and being practiced long before we and many ancestors were born. They are masters of many types of manipulations. But, God is bigger than these people and their even schemes and plans. 🙏.
If we held previous generations accountable for all atrocities against all people, not many societies would be free from debt. As far as equity, both of my parents' families were immigrants in the early 1900s. My wife's family was mostly from Germany and arrived between the mid 1600s and 1900. Some were indentured servants in the slums of NY. None had anything to do with slavery. Some of her relatives also died in the Civil War - fighting for the North. Why should any of my taxes or my children's taxes go to pay for repirations, when we had nothing whatsoever to do with it and even lost family to help end the worst of the atrocities towards Black people? What about people of color who immigrated here after the fact? Does an immigrant from Upper Volta get reparations? If we go back to Native Americans, the Lakota killed off most of the Pawnee... should members of the Lakota tribe be found to pay reparatoins to the ancestors of the Pawnee tribe?
Yeah, it's a impossible "policy" to implement. It's only here to divide, and is probably the singular issue that the GOP can win on if the Dems take the bait and run with it. Chuck Todd is a very sketchy individual for having this debate on his show.
Buying a house has sucked since 2019 and it’s only gotten worse. What’s normal about home prices increasing by 40% over 48 months?
The American dollar isn't backed by the gold standard any more, it's based on housing mortgages.
They're getting dealt like stocks on the American stock market, another financial concept that should
never have become a reality. What high finance did in 2008 has filtered down to residential housing.
All Americans should have worried when they were told they didn't have to pay rent in the pandemic.
I guess we could say that about the prices of anything now a days, ever since Covid and the shut downs the prices are on steady up climb, I’ve started taking pictures of the prices I pay so I can compare from week to week. Getting really hard to be retired on a fixed income. It’s all just big buisness, the banks going under, the over building of homes and banks lending to people that down understand a mortgage or lending practices and in 24 months or less they see they can’t afford it. Moderation america, people it’s a matter of supply and demand, don’t buy what you don’t need, change expensive habits, use and reuse what you have, don’t be wasteful and it will help your dollars and lower big business million and billionaire take home pays.
Sadly, the "normal" involved is boundless greed and corrupted government that is providing "oversight" of greedy corporations. These specific aspects of that come to mind: Companies have been underpaying for assets taken from public lands ... legally "stealing" from taxpayers when, in fact, much more of the profits from use of public assets should be used to pay government expenses.
More recently it has become even more obvious than ever that fuel companies have been price gouging, with increased fuel charges having a domino effect on prices across the entire economy resulting in inflation.
Businesses have "unions" (though, generally they oppose for workers) ... it's just that business "unions" are called "trade associations" instead. This includes financial institutions. Banks, that get money from the supposed government/private "partnership" of "the Fed" at a very nominal interest rate meet to CHOOSE to inflate their profit, gouging individual and business consumers and increasing the inflation.

Every society is history, including African ones, used slavery for thousands of years. European societies were the first in history to morally oppose slavery and abolish it in their own nations. We cannot tear ourselves apart trying to relitigate what happened in the past and we cannot continue acting like one group of Americans is inherently more guilty than the others. Reparations was paid in the blood of the hundreds of thousands of European Americans who died to free the slaves in this country and make it one of the first anti-slavery nations in human history
Are they seeking reparation from the african chiefs that sold them.
Yep
Or from the Arab & Barbary slave trade (schools never taught this)

He sure is that’s why all these talks and, studies are taking place. America must atone for one of its original sins of slavery through reparations & in different forms of compensation. They’re going to fight it tooth and, nail but I’m afraid it’s out of their hands!

I SPEAK FOR EVERY BLACK PERSON WHEN I SAY STOP THIS REPARATIONS CRAP
The first question should be, we're slaves owed repairations for their enslavement. If the answer is yes and they never received it, then that compensation should be made to their descendents. If not, then please explain why.
Because too much time has passed, and a great proportion of black people today can't trace their ancestry to a specific documented slave due to things like lost records, broken families, abandoned children, the foster care system.
The answer is No. That’s that.

No, they should be thankful that they were sold to the US as slaves. For those who weren't as lucky, they remained slaves to other African tribes.

(1) After slavery's only Black American and White Peoples were living in America? When African immigrants started coming to America?
For the most part, in great numbers after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 .

Yes!!
Agreed! He & all other immigrants would not have the opportunities they have today in America if it wasn't for black Americans who fought for civil rights that benefits all Americans.
President Reagan, in 1988, issued a formal apology for Ex. order 9066, and paid reparations to surviving Japanese Americans….President Clinton, in 1993, formally apologized for the US role in overthrowing the Royal Monarchy of Hawaii. (1893)
No other group in America has had genocide, like black Americans! Slave owners were given reparations, because they were loosing their free labor!
Let's start after slavery, no voting rights, lynching, Jim Crow, discriminated in education, health, and housing, towns flooded, burned and bomb! These things took place and still going on!
Jews, Japanese, Indians, Israel still get reparations, and no one says anything about that.
Your tax money goes to ALL of those, and it cost BILLIONS with my tax money! I don't want my money going to those groups either! Don't want an apology, cut the check, like the Government do for those other groups!!
Reagan shouldn't have done that. But at least it was a payment to victims, not a racial group.

Two years ago, I had a client who’s in High School had a history project regarding to Reparations, as well as the Wealth Gap when it comes to Black people compared to other races. The project was basically how should reparations be divided when it comes to plans for Economics, as well as education. With the money should it be divided for Black people to have their own businesses/homes, as well as educational opportunities.
As a 41 year old Black female with 2 college degrees. As a Mother to a 9 year old Daughter. I never had a project like that in school before, which was an eye opener. I didn’t know that Blacks were almost 300 years behind white counterparts when it comes to the wealth gap. It makes sense! A lot of white people had generational wealth from slavery; while slaves had strive and struggle from nothing to get ahead after slavery was over. The fact that Africans was stolen from their land and brought over to America to be slaves and be treated worse than an animal. Even though, slavery ended, but it was also Jim Crow and segregation. The thing about reparations is I support reparations! However, are we ever going to see it! That’s like in this country hate crimes are still being done towards black people and we’re still seeing this today, which is the New Jim Crow!
As someone who holds two college degree, you seriously believe that you are 300 years behind in wealth gap as your white neighbors? Seriously?

You all are free to go back to Africa, and seek compensation from the Africans who sold blacks into slavery. JS
@@ralphz1238 Which tribes? Who are you going to return it to? The tribes that were there before Europeans came? Or before they were conquered by other tribes?

The best form of reparations is sound economic, social and educational policies of which African-Americans will be beneficiaries.

For anyone comparing what happened to blacks with ANY other race living in America (or anywhere else in the last 300 years) show me ONE other race (in the last 300 years) that was enslaved by another race for countless generations... Show me one other example (in the last 300 years) where basically an entire race throughout the entire country was enslaved... Had their children enslaved. Their grandchildren enslaved. Their great grandchildren. Their great-great grand children....
Show me another country (again, in the last 300 years) that was 100% economically successful because of a slave race (black) while the controlling race (whites) were made the most wealthy and powerful race on the planet (which they still are today).
If you don't agree with reparations... That's fine... But comparing the enslavement of blacks with what happened to the Irish, Chinese, your granddad, or anyone else, is disingenuous af... I'd even argue that African Americans got it worse than Native Americans...
Native Americans: Wrecked by disease, followed by a pretty one sided "war" with the whites, that they ultimately lost. Followed by the stealing of all of their lands, followed by their placement into reservations. Followed by... Wait for it... Reparations...
Flash forward to today. The country is still ruled by white men, but... They LOVE Native Americans. White people can't wait to tell you how they're part (insert tribe here).
Compare that to being a slave your entire life AND knowing that your children (and all your descendants for hundreds of years) will also be slaves (you are also forced to breed)... Then fast forward to today where a large percentage of the people who run this country (still white men ofc) secretly, or openly in the comment section, hate you.. Imho, it's not even close who got it worse.
I think its hilarous how the racists, especially Italians, who denied their black DNA , suddenly want to be black. Immigrant hustle.
The US should pay reparations to the families who lost Union Soldiers fighting to free slaves before paying anyone for reparations.
Slavery DID NOT end in 1865. It went well in to the 1900's!
It still exists today in the form of traff*cking and child slave labor.
The only thing worse than those who were enslaved and never got paid, are the people who never suffered, who try to profit off of them.
slaves are not supposed to get paid !! thats what " slave : means !! and the people who are asking for reparations are the ones benefiting from slavery!

Cornell Brooks got it factually WRONG at least twice: He said Japanese Americans who were held in custody by the Feds "after WWII"....ah what? Didn't you mean DURING WWII? And you are a professor at Harvard? Second, the reparations paid by the USA to Japanese Americans so held in custody were for those who were in actual Fed custody NOT their surviving relatives or their descendants. Hughes gets that a bit wrong too because he said their families got compensated as well which is also wrong....ONLY those who were actually in custody in a USA concentration camp under EO 9066 got Fed $$ compensation for it. BTW that $$ payment for Japanese Americans who qualified was far far far lower than anything that has been suggested for DOS. I beleive average payment was 20k not the millions suggested for DOS. Finally, Japanese Americans often said the $$ was irrelevant. What they wanted was an apology and to clear away any hint that they were disloyal. They got that. Would black folks be satifiieded with an apolgoy? No way.
Why is this even a question?
Because the U.S is run by white supemacists and inhabited by white supremacists sympathizers.
