Can The U.S. Afford Reparations?

- The disproportionate impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Black Americans coupled with the protests following George Floyd and Breonna Taylor's deaths, have pushed racial injustice to the forefront of the national debate. Politicians, states and cities have started to look at reparations for descendants of slaves as a possible way to solve persistent inequalities. While a concrete compensation plan seems far out of reach, experts are starting to offer tangible solutions. William Darity suggests a $10 to $12 trillion program, distributed over the course of 10 years. Darrick Hamilton suggests implementing a complimentary program called baby bonds, which would provide a quasi universal basic income for newborn babies. However opponents say that now is not the time to increase federal spending, as the country faces over $24 trillion in national debt and the covid-19 pandemic. Watch the video above to find out more about if the U.S. could afford reparations for slavery.

Can The U.S. Afford Reparations?
The original title was ”Should the U.S. Pay For Reparations”
Mexico should pay for it obviously!
Title should have been "how much does it cost for democrats to keep buying the black vote"
No.
The answer is 'YES'!
Yes
Why are you keeping out the statistics of Asian americans?
Because they are an outlier lol the regressive left is off their rockers honestly. They talk about race and split people by their heritages and then claim others are the racists. It's like arguing with Obrian In 1984
@@johnyang101 no it's just funny my dood. No one deserves reparations lmao
Because it would show people coming from outside the country working hard and succeeding. Compared to those that are born and raised here and take things for granted.
Asians are not lazy and don’t lay up off the backs of hard-working people as a whole. Asians succeed in this country as a whole. They as a whole do not need help up
people like to throw in Asians but Asians and blacks tend to have different culture and values. it should be more blacks from America vs blacks from Africa. i know tons of Africans (specifically Nigerians) who take education seriously and make a good living. Black Americans don't value education as much as Africans
Anytime you talk about something specific for black Americans white Americans be like what are we going to get out of it 🤷🏿♂️

White people ain't sh$t.
Demanding people who never owned slaves give their money to people who never were slaves? Yeah good luck with that.

@@blackretribution8103 maybe you can go back to the beginning and be amongst your own people and we can forget about this bad blood? Makes being a country iffy seeing you folks in public smiling and saying hi as if you practice your line's for the role of Bye Gones Be Bye Gones, 👋
America sends millions of dollars to Israel each year, from U.S. tax payers money, so certainly they could afford to pay imo.
This part
You said it... no need to waste my words, you hit it on the nail !!!
I agree Israel shouldn't get money. However this isn't millions this is Trillions
Where was the outcry when then Secratary of Defense Rumsfeld told Congress that the Pentegon had miss placed 2.3 or 3 trillion dollars? The public went silent on this one. Did not hold anyone´s feet to the fire either. Neither did "W" make a big deal out of this. The lost was on the shoulders of the American tax payer.
That is so true! These are some sick haters who has a problem with this! They didn't have studies when they gave every other people reparations, before taken care of the black Americans they had treated like animals for the last five hundred years or so?" "All these people against it, says nothing about all the people who got it, never say sh!t about all the money Israel is getting, like American dollars is supporting their whole country, for what? They are outsiders from another land, pretending to be someone else, they did to those people exactly what they did to black Americans in America!! "People need to quit their bullsh!t opinions and lies, stop hating, black America deserve their due period, or hell is finally going to break through, people better get right, instead of doing wrong to keep from doing right!!
Ah yes, money is key when we talk morality
@Bo Zo Reparations would cost about 60-100 trillion. I'm sure AAs would appreciate that and would leave the declining America with the quickness.

So all the 1.6 million whites that got 160 acres for nothing during the homestead act that made America.. How do those people fit into your beliefs? Whites have been given their wealth dont think otherwise. Humans are humans no matter what color. To think otherwise or that you worked harder than a group of people who had to work from light to night is a level of ignorance that only old people could stick to
@@awwwsy What a childish and naive outlook. Foolishly you forget to mention 40 acres and a mule.....Then gloss over the decades of coddling and special treatment since.
My child is no more responsible for my actions than I am for my parents, if you choose to buy into this BS then feel free to do so with your own money, keep your hands out of my pocket.
Such false empathy only shines on an others dime.
So, if one is against reparations, then, one is "justifying slavery?" THAT is preposterous. In response to one who has replied to one of my replies: "You actually ask me: "so you would like to justify slavery?" I would NOT like to do that. Nor, did I do that. Nor, will I ever do that. DO not put words in my mouth. From what I have written, you cannot justify what you have inferred in asking me that question. However, you are NOT going to get reparations, whether you like it or not. And, this is the reality, especially, given the fact that WWIII has started, and, it is only a matter of time when the USA will be at direct, kinetic war with Russia AND China. The supply chains have been breaking down, and, will continue to do so, more and more, for the next few years. You have no IDEA of what is coming. Maybe, then, you and the black community in america will just see how good you have had it. Black american have had it far better than ANY other people of sub-saharan DNA in the world, even when slavery still existed in america. Pretty soon, EVERYONE will have it bad in america, except for the ultra-rich elitists, the ones that you and your kind voted for, the same ones that sold us out to our enemies for decades, and, built up China AND Russia. But, at least you don't have to put up with a few "mean tweets," do you? Everything the democrats AND some republicans said about Trump was fictional, but, THEY did everything of which they accused him. And, keep in mind, that blacks did better under Trump in his first 3 years than ANYTIME in american history. Most importantly, all of the catastrophic things that are happening now, and will happen in the near future would not be happening if Trump was still in office, and, you KNOW it. But, hey, good to know that you all vilified the right man for the job, and, voted along the lines of the DNC, in hopes of getting "reparations." The DNC all strung you along like mindless drones, promising you the sky, by gave you NOTHING."

@@JRPGGUY They don't, that's a common misconception. From what I understand, not all tribes qualify for any financial help. The government organizations that provide that service are underfunded and mismanaged. Many of the financial support is provided by tribes that are to their communities. There have also been efforts by native organizations to help their community, but they also have their own limitations.
They can afford wars then they can afford reparations tf
Why should u deserve reparations
So sick of this reparations garbage. So who gets it ? Anyone with any percentage of black ancestry ? Or just blacks who prove they are direct descendants of slaves ?
Who pays it ? Just citizens of confederate states ? Or everyone ?
What about reparations for the families with white ancestors from the north who were conscripted into the civil war to end slavery ?
And I’m so sick of RACISM, but here we are. 400+ years of oppression. Yes, black Americans that can prove that they have ancestors that were SLAVES should receive SLAVERY reparations. It’s not that hard to comprehend but I see you have an extremely tiny brain so it’s hard for you, so I’m trying to break it down into baby steps for you. Also, no one is saying anything about white people at all. We’re focused on getting people that suffered for generations JUSTICE. White people have it all and by the way, the white soldiers that fought in the civil war against confederates were just as racist, were treated 1000x better than black soldiers as well. Abraham Lincoln was a white supremacist as well. Learn some history before you run your mouth about being “sick” of something, fool! I know I’m sick of the reparation talk because they need to hurry up and PAY US. NOW.
The voiceover is too charismatic for me to pay attention
Where's the reparations to the natives???🤦♂️
Their population is too small to make a voice or lobby. No protest/riot, no money.
they got reservations... duh that were all the casinos are
@Reg G I’ll admit that I don’t know enough about the issues of Native Americans, but from what I see, there are disparities in their communities which could use investment
@IvyOracle They used to have all of North and South America. A postage stamp sized reservation is a meager compensation. They deserve the entire continent returned to them. They are it's rightful owners.
No one deserves reparations it’s just lazy people whining in the 21 century

A dumb question… they can afford everything else and can afford to send money around the world to help everyone but it’s own people… millions to Afghanistan and Ukraine!! Noone ask can we afford to send these people our tax money
"Then they would say, it is just supplies and equipment?"
@@desireawinton9745 It's also money.
Exactly they have money for every European country around the world but not for the people who built a country for free
Of course you do realize the US is trying to avoid World War III, right. You are familiar with NATO and the reason it was formed, right? We can’t afford NOT “to send these people our tax money.”
@@ninadaly7639 we are not the only members of NATO let the European countries send these people money and weapons this is not our fight we have no people or land that is being threatened.. and our tax money will not stop World War 3 if that’s the plan of Russia which I doubt it is …he can barely fight Ukraine …he does not want war with NATO or the USA. So Again give our Tax money to Our people and not to another country who have others that can help them… unless we are going to get our money back from Ukraine with interest on top!!!
To quote your own justice system: If you can afford to do the crime (and profit from it so much for generations), then you can afford to do the crime.
Yeah, Native people in the front of the bus (keep moving back).
White people robbed India of $400 trillion. How long are we making this line?
Tell that to the black Americans, while at less than 15% of the population, are responsible for half of the murders and abortions in the US every year.
Forcing the innocent to pay nonvictims for something that happened to neither of them is not reparations.
Forcing wealthy descendants of slave owners to keep multiplying non-social justice-based economic benefits is also not reparations nor moral social class advancements.
@@Hoboclown
Reparations is actual proven victims being compensated by their actual violators.
Sweeping accusations against anonymous hypothetical people is inadequate.
The one who seeks to take what another has bears the burden of proof.
@@michaelpcoffee I’m all for it but what will be the economic impact, specifically to inflation?
@@TheOne-xu5oy
Transferring wealth from who has it to who owns it has no impact on inflation.
The impact on inflation is immaterial to the issue of actual proven victims being compensated by their actual violators.
@@michaelpcoffee ok so help to understand something here because maybe I’m not understanding some things. Will the transfer of wealth be from white people to black people? And will white people be taxed separately or have higher taxes? Secondly: if direct payments are made, won’t that lead to increase spending due availability of disposal income which would drive prices up for goods and services?
"Chattel slavery" is different than wage slavery or indentured servitude. 17th century Africans who entered the Caribbean and the Americas were firmly established as chattel property. Free labor!
I have paid every piece of my taxes to the govt, nothing compared to billionaires. Where’s my representations uncle sam?

@A man who rebells against the Illuminati rich and racist.
Black people were still paying taxes even though there was Jim Crow
I've been a tax slave working for the government all my life. Where are my reparations?
According to moral philosopher Chris Hedges, "Black people built America." So you or your White ancestors have to pay for the creation of the country.
@@drmodestoesq but what if our dollar is worthless 😏
That's for you to go figure out. We've already figured out ours.
Blacks pay taxes also when they should be exempt of all taxes anyway......................Especially in slave states.
drmodestoesq philosopher looks, black people didn’t built America. Immigrants built America, you’re excluding, the Latinos who work at the potato fields, the Chinese who built the rail roads, the Japanese people who’s rights were taken away and locked up in a concentration by Democrats, and the Native Hawaiians who were forced to work at a pineapple plantation in Hawaii. They’re not asking for reparations though, they believe that working hard and making good decisions get you the same wealth as a white mans wealth. Asian Americans are the riches people in the US not because they asked for reparations or asking a white man to give up his home. As a immigrant who came into this country, I started my own business selling aftermarket parts for cars. I didn’t ask for a white man or the government to give me reparations. I came to this country with nothing, what are you so whiny about?!
Money without structure will not lead to lasting change. Need to fix the underlying issues and not just toss money at the problem.
True I just hope people will understand that without bad faith
Both should be done.
plus i dont want some white racist guy bragging about how his tax dollars pay my bills
@Esther A Well... NO
And it doesn't matter as the US Government has already paid reparations to all Black Americans when it purchased and gave the entire Nation of Liberia to any and all Black Americans who wish to colonies it as their own nation.

How stupid are people to think that they should get reparations from people that had nothing to do with slavery only because an ancestor may or may not have been a slave? Tell me which ancestor and to whom he/she was enslaved. Sue the owner's family. Whatever the award is, split it among the descendants.
Why?? Reparations should of went to their ancestors. Current generations has access to everything that I myself have. I’m Hispanic so what about my people? Can you give us Texas, Arizona and California back? What about my peoples families that got broke up, deported ?

To give people reparations is not that hard
Remember every black person has the last name of their slave owner
Like me for example my grandfather last name is Darden
Last time I check the darden is a billion-dollar industry

@Michael McCallion I'm sorry sweetie you don't know the darden history
But it's true
@Michael McCallion the darden were founded in 1791
The 40 acres and a mule were not even considered for legal legislation.
It was a white guy who said that to get the blacks off his back after the civil war. Blacks weren’t even given a bill for 40 acres and a mule… aka you are deserving of nothing let alone a mule or 40 acres

If African Americans want reparations they need to ask their kin in west African countries who enslaved their ancestors and than sold them to Europeans!
They're poor. They spend all their slave trade profits. Icelanders invested all their fishing profits. And look at them today. Prosperous. In danger from volcanic eruption....but prosperous.
This is what the whole narrative has always been about. A group of people want money.

As a Black man I'm still trying to figure out who "this group" is. In my 44 years of living I have NEVER had a conversation with a black male or female about reparations. It's like this stuff is coming from some shadow group and they're paying people to stoke up energy around it. It makes no sense.

@@LMan-by6mb No one alive today was a slave. If you want something get a job and earn it. Quit trying to steal money from people that never profited from slavery.
Wealth is a social aspect, it’s not a question of distributing money but preserving it.
Its a bit late for those reparations.
Is it even possible to determine who is an actual descendant of a slave? There were also free afro-americans back then, or? Also what about "mixed" persons? How u want to figure all that stuff out?
If people want to help blacks and other minorities (or the poor in general), then invest in the infrastructure in the areas were many of them live. Build better schools, hire more social workers, lower the cost for college education or stuff like that. I think thats a much better way.
The comparison with the german WW II/Holocaust reparations doenst fit at all. Back then the money was payed to the direct victims or their direct descendants, and not some more or less random people who live ~150 years later and who where never directly affected.
@Hans Wurst The descendants of slaves were and are still directly affected today. Just look around you! The descendants of slaves are also easy to trace nowadays with the technology and the genealogy data that we have. It is never too late for reparations. 150 years later is not too late. It is only recently that the decendants of slave owners in the uk have received all the payment from the uk government for slavery being stopped there. So how can it be too late?? Why should the capitalist ruling class keep all the money and profits from slavery. The bankers have been bailed out for billions of pounds and they are criminals. Please be reasonable.
Easy - Thats what the Census is for...anyone identifying as African American qualifies
I disagree when you say people who were never directly affected. My grandmother is ~60 years old and she used to work picking cotton when she was younger. It's more recent than you think, and people are affected due to current societal structure when it comes to how they are viewed by other (white) Americans. To say that there are people who are not directly affected is to say that racism does not exist.

Black people didn't wakeup one day and started asking for reparations the actual slaves asked for it. Where do you think Lincoln got 40 acres and a Mule from?
@The Last Danite Whatever. That's like saying why did the victims families of 9/11 get compensated they wasn't the victims. Yeah, I went there
Our request for reparations has been ongoing since the emancipation proclamation. America’s prosperity and wealth was built out of slavery the wealth you share in today that is why everyone will pay. The sins still continue to be plagued by are group. Why are we wasting time arguing with people whom apparently have a strong anti black biases. A waste of breathe better to create new allies and leave the other stubborn racists alone.

1#. HEIR. At common law. A person who succeeds, by the rules of law , to an estate in lands, tenements, or hereditaments, upon the death of his ancestor, by descent and right of relationship. The term “heir” has a very different signification at common law from what it has in those states and countries which have adopted the civil law. In the latter, the term is indiscriminately applied to all persons who are called to the succession, whether by the act of the party or by operation of law. The person who is created universal successor by a will is called the “ testamentary heir; “ and the next of kin by blood is, in cases of in testacy, called the “ heir at law,” or “ heir by intestacy.” The executor of the common law in many respects corresponds to the testamentary heir of the civil law. Again, the administrator in many respects corresponds with the heir by intestacy. By the common law, executors and administrators have no right except to the personal estate of the deceased; whereas the heir by the civil law is authorized to administer both the personal and real estate.

I don't think people know that. Giving money away makes it worthless.
@@sebastionhawk5565 No, i think you're mistaken, the Islamic slavery was nowhere as brutal or as harsh as the Atlantic slavery. I don't bother replying but I had to in this instance, as the comparison between the Atlantic slavery and the Islamic one has been debunked many times. Yes, Muslims did engage in slavery, but nothing like the ones seen in history. They were more like servants and were treated under the Islamic law correct. To call it slavery is actually wrong due to the connotation that it somehow resembles Atlantic slavery which totally false. Mansa Musa the richest man in west Africa, had so-called 'slaves', to compare them to the Atlantic slaves is actually deeply false and offensive. Just seems like we did it, they did it therefore it was 'normal', but there was nothing fine about the atlantic slavery. Just a horror show !
@@sebastionhawk5565 When you say 'Muslims, I guess you're implying Arabs, which have treated black folks far better throughout human history than those of the white ethnic origin. ''Sub-saharan Africans are still stolen, enslaved, killed, and castrated by Muslims in this very day''. I am guessing you're talking about the lawlessness that is occurring in Libya which has become a failed state, because of a US-led intervention.
'' ALL PEOPLES HAVE SUFFERED'', yes I agree, but I am saying that to imply the Atlantic slavery to the Muslim one is a crude understanding of history, just seems like a petty justification, for the Atlantic slavery. Islamic slavery was nowhere near as brutal as said before, as it was based on faith, and the slaves had many rights, same can't be said for Atlantic slavery.
anything I write regarding true history is now instantly deleted from this thread. YOur biased anti-western civilization censorship is highly unbecoming of you.
Yes we have to lovely locations in Death Valley California and Trinity Test Site in Nevada. When do you want the mule delivered?
It's only expensive because America refused to do what it should have done when Reparation costs would have been dirt cheap. But make no mistake, Reparations are still due and payable, just way past due.
@Vincent: Make no mistake, America did "what it should've done" 157 years ago: liberating the Confederacy's slaves, to eradicate legal slavery from the North American continent. NOTHING's "due". Your welcome.
@podcast content true. I feel the same way.
And why are they due??? Who is currently alive who was a slave ?? What about the reparations that were paid for in blood?? Tens of thousands of whites died to free slaves in this country. Whites were lynched along side blacks during the civil rights struggles.
This constant talk of reparations is simply painting blacks as victims. Dividing cultures and preventing generations from healing and moving forward as one. I am not a slave, my parents and great great grandparents were not slaves. I refuse to allow myself or my children to be enslaved or have a victim mentality. These arguments are just another way to enslave us! Stand proudly on our own feet and refuse to be a victim any more !!!
@Charlotte exactly, and no other group of people were slaves over the entire world. In America, blacks endured the civil Rights movement in which they battled Jim Crow laws. Black people were even lynched in the 60s and 70s. No other groups went through that even in those more recent times. Entire black communities were burned to the ground at the turn of the 20th century. What other groups went through that? What other groups went through housing discrimination?
Well look at it this way. The federal government gave slave owners reparations immediately after the civil war so why not the slaves? Even when former slaves were still alive they asked for reparations so they are still owed. It's the same as in if you sue someone that you sue their estate and that takes from the aggressor's family. In that case, the money is still owed. Just put it like this white America(just say you don't think black people deserve it because you don't think we are worthy of anything.)
Reparations for what? Everyone who's alive right now never went through slavery or was even a slave owner. Get real and stop playing the victim and move on. Thats the only way to move forward.
The inequities of the past come with interests, only a whitewashed fool pretends slavery ended and america just stopped f'ing with black people.
You all can keep on having a victim mentality... while those who know that the world and anyone in it doesn't owe you anything will succeed in the game of life. If black people were so oppressed there wouldn't be multimillionaire black businesses owners, doctors, politicians, musicians/artists, and athletes. There wouldn't be Herman Caines, Herchel Walkers, Keith Black's, Chris Gardners and many more greats Americans in our society. Black people actually have a one up over everybody because of affirmative action. If anything Asian Americans are more "oppressed" compared to the rest. All that money doesn't go to the common Jew, only the big figures who run the Jewish congress. But yes keep having a victim mentality and live in the past.. something you have no control over and see how far that'll get you. Nobody owes you anything, thats the brutal reality of life. And I'm not even white you clueless fool

@@michaelpcoffee the proof is an economic system built on the backs of slaves. When an entire group of people have an inherit disadvantage compared to their white counterparts because of the past, they are owed the chance to be equal. When the average Black household accumulates half as much wealth as the average white household simply because of the past, there is a very apparent debt that is owed to them.

Our real history needs to be taught, WARTS AND ALL. That alone is the bare minimum.
@The Last Danite Nope, just honest about history and America's legacy of racial injustices. Do you have anything substantive to say?

Yes..REAL HISTORY MUST BE TAUGHT....U will be surprised what U will learn!!!
@Charlotte yes black people built nation not only in America tho all over the world not only America own slaves they destroyed 100 of cities that were thriving by blacks in the past and past Jim Crow laws in a so called Christian nation and they to this very day use laws to keep majority for succeeding uneducated poor and so on and slavery still exist it called prison they make products for company’s by getting paid Cents and. Also y u think the man that freed the slaves Abraham Lincoln is on a brown penny …..this nation will till to go down hill until they do right about the people they oppressed intentionally it not just random white people but the government itself put those laws into place and America promised the slaves land and a mule but they never got it despite having their families separated was killed taking from their land etc America don’t have to pay if they don’t want too but it will hurt all of us if we can’t heal this nation by paying what you owe if u steal someone property kidnap someone isn’t that a crime ?

You're describing pretty much every Latin American country. That makes you racist.
If America has the money to pay slave owners reparations for owning slaves-- then CERTAINLY.
True!
If you can find anyone still alive who were slaves, then I'd be ok with giving them reparations, but there aren't any still alive today. And it's absurd to expect whites living today that have never been slave owners to pay blacks who have never been slaves. If anything, why not ask the arabs for reparations??? Slavery in America lasted about 400 yrs, while the arabs enslaved blacks for thousands of yrs! The arabs also had white slaves as well. So I guess we all should get reparations! Smh

We couldn't "afford" those things you listed either! We are over 20 trillion dollars in debt! But that's besides the point. The point is that reparations is theft.

I have never been a slave owner, and I wouldn't want to, I am vehemently against slavery of ANY race of people, and I had nothing to do with slavery, so I do not owe my money that I worked hard for to people today that have never even experienced slavery. You can't justify punishing whites living today who had nothing to do with slavery just because of what people with the same skin color who lived in the past did. Every person in America today has the opportunity to go out and find a job and earn their own money, and they can accomplish their dreams if they're willing to put in the work and not give up. Those who want reparations just want free hand outs instead of working hard to earn their own money.

What is Privilege????
1) Privilege is wearing $200 sneakers when you’ve never had a job.
2) Privilege is wearing $300 Beats headphones while living on public assistance.
3) Privilege is having a Smartphone with a Data plan, which you receive no bill for.
4) Privilege is living in public subsidized housing where you don’t have a utility or phone bill and where rising property taxes, rents and energy costs have absolutely no effect on the amount of food you can put on your table, which is largely covered by Government Food Stamps.
5) Privilege is having free health insurance for you and your family that's paid for by working taxpayers who often can't afford proper health coverage for their own families.
6) Privilege is having multiple national organizations promoting and protecting just your race alone -- that are subsidized by federal tax dollars.
7) Privilege is having access to a national college fund that supports only one race.
8) Privilege is having a television network that supports only one race.
9) Privilege is having most of the media news networks refuse to cover incidents wherein one race (one-eighth of the population) commits 50% of the crimes.
10) Privilege is the ability to go march against, and protest against anything that triggers you, without worrying about calling off from work and the consequences that accompany such.
11) Privilege is having as many children as you want, regardless of your employment status, and be able to send them off to daycare or pre-school you don’t pay for.
12) Privilege is being able to vote in many states without showing a driver's license, voter ID card or other credentials -- just because your race claims they should be exempt from such requirements.

14) Privilege is being able to get into almost any college of your choosing based on your race, not your grades or merit.
15) Privilege is having most of your life paid for by the working men and women who DO HAVE TO DEAL WITH RISING TAXES AND COSTS! you know, those you now call “PRIVILEGED.”
I think the reparations have long been paid out ...............
Agreed

Please please please stop with multi trillion dollar give back that will almost certainly destroy the very wealth they would give away. Printed or debt monies would only cause hyper inflation.
It was supposed to be land before, if it should be land now if it will happen.
Also would like to add that if you have NO IDEA what to do with this wealth giveaway, you will end up just as poor as when you started.
This is all stupid.
no. u r.
@@lu881 how so
As long as we get paid then that's okay..
@@abramhepp8729
Because it's all _not_ stupid.
And so is your picture 🤭
I don't feel that it is fair that a person that never owned slaves should have to pay reperations to people that have never been slaves.

I’m curious what people think about the fact that the UK govt paid reparations and just finished paying a few years ago.
They are not the USA and had slaves LONG BEFORE the USA became a country. Why are reparations being sought from only democratic countries and not countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, China or any other "enslaving" country? Racist much?
Ron West Ron West but America did participate in slavery. It was the major economic force of the south. The cotton was a major export of the south and it was derived from slave labor. And people profited off of it greatly. Hence the civil war. Also America can only focus on America but now that you mention it the Arab slave trade was just as huge. But the hypocrisy of a country that claims “liberty and justice for all” but doesn’t want to acknowledges injustice is ironic to say the least.
@@holdenmuganda97 So, what you are saying is that ALL AMERICANS are obligated to pay reparations, regardless if they or their ancestors EVER had anything to do with slavery? I think not. LBJ's "GREAT SOCIETY" WAS reparations and were squandered and PROVED that you CANNOT socially bring people up out of poverty that do not want or even make an attempt to help themselves. Cash from the government to those blacks that were wiped out by Katrina did not use that money for housing and food. They bought Air Jordans, Rolex watches, big screen TV's, drugs and alcohol, then demanded MORE. It is NOT a money problem, it is a CULTURAL PROBLEM!
Ron West didn’t ALL AMERICANS pay back japanese internment camp victims. We also paid for holocaust survivors as well. So if All Americans had no issue paying them then what’s the difference. I’m sincerely curious as to your thoughts on this actually. That’s an easy rectification. Tie the receipt to a few mandatory educational classes and only give it after reaching a certain age. Say 25. But deciding that people don’t deserve restitution for an injustice because you don’t like how they might spend it is ridiculous. It’s about righting a wrong not policing a where they spend the money.
@@holdenmuganda97 Acts of war are different than supposed social injustices. Please explain why blacks
need billions of dollars more in "reparations" after they have received them continuously in the last 58 years of the LBJ "GREAT SOCIETY" program that supplied free housing, food, education, healthcare, jobs, etc?
I've been told to "go back to africa" I'm saving up now. What most ppl fail to accept is that if ADOS were given reparations, most of us would go back to africa. what's the problem?? pay up so we can leave like y'all want us to🙄
no. get a job and do it urself.
Find a job.
Most of y'all wouldn't last a week in Africa. No welfare, poor infrastructure, lack of clean water, etc. Get a Gofundme set up. I'll pitch in for your one way ticket under one condition - you can't come back to live. Only visit. Deal homie?
@LaDiosa My comment was directed towards Daisy.
I'm not going anywhere, your ancestors, work their fingers to the bones because of these people, so who does this land really belong to, not the ones that did no work, that for sure. They made this country what it is today, so this is their country, their blood is everywhere. So I stand here for the people who slave for this land, and did not get a chance to enjoy their hard, hard labor. This is their land.
Again, can America afford a currency change .....
You know who really deserves reparations? Our veterans.
If you want to compensate then reparations should be paid for the Native Americans
They already has been paid reparations
They have received reparations. All 5 tribes participated in US SLAVERY.
Can I get reparations from Scandinavia? The Vikings enslaved my ancestors and I'm too much of a pathetic victim and dancing puppet of the left to get by without the money of other people who did nothing to me.

@@toddwilliams481 govt money should be based upon need, NOT COLOR. f--k reparations. WHile I will say that slavery is wrong, and, evil, as it is wrong to own another person, AN IMPORTANT POINT needs TO BE MADE CLEAR. The VAST majority of slaves, virtually all of them that came from sub-saharan africa, and, sold off of the shores of western africa, were already slaves in sub-saharan africa. OBVIOUSLY, I am not saying that slavery is OK or justified, as I am not. I am simply stating that SLaves were bought and sold amongst the various african tribes for thousands of years before the muslim invasions of sub-saharan africa of the 7th century ad throughout this very day today. The atlantic slave trade did not begin until about the 16th century, 900 years after the muslims were doing it in sub-saharan africa AND all throughout the mediterranean, I might add. And, keep in mind, that only about 5% of ALL of the african slaves actually went onto the ships to north america; more went to central and southern america, and, far more stayed in sub-saharan africa and went to north africa, the middle east, and, into europe, some, even going into asia...have ye suffured? ALL PEOPLES HAVE SUFFERED. black people IN THE WEST: quit blaming your insufficiencies on the white man. yOU ARE lucky THAT YOUR ANCESTORS WERE BROUGHT OUT OF AFRICA. Sub-saharan africans are still stolen, enslaved, killed, and castrated by Muslims in this very day, and, have been since the 7th century AD, for over 1300 YEARS!

Shouldn't Africa start with reparations, I mean that is where it started for black people right? If it wasn't for blacks selling their own this would not even be a topic right now.
Most blacks, and whites too, have been taught a false history because none of them seem to know that it was teh arabs who started the slave trade in the first place and they enslaved blacks for thousands of years, while slavery in America lasted about 400 years, yet they demonize white Americans and demand reparations but never even mention the worst slavery of all, the arab's enslaving blacks! Also, blacks who were enslaved by arabs were treated far worse and forced to live in far worse conditions than slavery in America! People need to educate themselves!
what about Brazil? FAr more nebros went to BRazil than north america. And, what about the Muslim caliphate countries? The Muslims enslaved more nebros than anyone else, from the 7th century AD up to this day, where they STILL enslave at LEAST 700,000 at conservative estimates. AND< what about the sub-saharan african kings who first enslaved their people, within their own tribes and other tribes, and, sold them to the europeans that came to their western shores?
