PB - you alerted me to this thread. Why pay reparations? Blacks sold the blacks into slavery. Plus we didn't have anything to do with it, so why should we pay? Seems like another scam to get something for nothing.

entitle all blacks in this country to compensation from the government. This from a person whose parents were born in Jamaica and who never had any ancestors who were slaves????? What they H is going ON??? All are difficult to prove nearly 140 years after slavery was abolished. But proponents hope to have American slavery declared a crime against humanity, which has no statute of limitations. So all Germans are forever responsible for what Hitler did? All Cambodians for Pol Pot? All Chinese for Mao? Gee, I want in on this. The Brits must owe me. My family had to leave Ireland because of their hard-hearted policies during the Potato Famine.
