Why were Black people never given reparations even though they had to endure slavery?
>>18498732The government needs to send every black person 49 thousand dollars
>>18498737I'll do you one better
>>18498732Because they all died. What's a dead person going to do with money?
>>18498732Because the US is white supremacist country, after slavery ended they created laws that criminalised black existence and Jim Crow ended they started using red lining.
>>18498732America fought an entire war to abolish slavery in their nation. The British spent 5% of their GDP and 40% of their Goverment's annual budget to fight slavery worldwide. Other European Nations like Germany also contributed to the abolishment of slavery in many African kingdoms in the mid to late 19th Century. These are youre reperations.But you don't care about that, you are always conviniently silent about the slavery your own kind perpetrated or even the slavery that is still going on today in the Middle East which btw., is far greater in scale than in the 19th century.Everyone knows you don't care about slavery, you just want Whites to subsidiue your existenc even the utterly cucked European goverments know it, hence why they ignore your grovelling begging. Find work, earn money by yourself.
>>18498732Because it would price out everyone else from being able to afford sneakers, and KFC would be hit with a supply shortage.
black people deserve reparations, not for slavery but because of the generations of oppression they experienced even after the abolition of slavery, in which they were placed deliberately in poorly-serviced communities with fucking awful infrastructure that the government doesn't bother maintaining, and with awful schooling that the government doesn't want to fund. reparations are necessary for breaking african americans out of the cycle of being born into poverty, having children into poverty, and dying in poverty.
>>18498732Where's my reparations for having to carry my own shopping and not owning a negro to do that for me???
>>18498732Fockin elk!
>>18499664>best way to stop being dependent on welfare is to beg for more welfareHow about they try some honest work for a change?

>>18498732Show me the slavery these people had to endure and I'll give them reparations. What? It's 150 years ago and nobody currently alive experienced it? So you're saying these people are crying about something that never happened to them?
>>18498732Because they owe reparations for enslaving other africans and selling them on, profiting from their brethren's suffering, and they cancel each other out
>>18499634>The British spent 5% of their GDP and 40% of their Goverment's annual budget to fight slavery worldwide.How does this compare to the bailout of caribbean planters after abolition?
>>18499675I think OP was asking why there were no reparations given to the generation liberated from slavery, who were left destitute and often had little choice but to work for their former master in exploitative sharecropper systems.
all this >>18499587Further black people have not made a net tax contribution since federal aid began in the 1960s. Shouldn't this count as reparations?We are told black people are equals, that one day they will be IQ 100, low crime and able to build high trust communities just like us white folx and rise to the same level of wealth and prosperity without any need for special privileges and entitlements, then, presumably, "reparations" will have been paid. The problem is other minorities like east Asians manage to do so within a generation whereas for 40 years up to 2001 African Americans have failed to do so and will probably fail for decades more.What gives? The logical and scientific answer is of course that black people have lower intelligence and other behaviors like heightened impulsivity and aggression due to genetics, but in addition to all the enormous social changes that have been made to accommodate black people into white Christian civilization, we are not permitted to reach this conclusion, it is absolute heresy to even suggest it. It is after all what the white southerners were trying to tell us before the federal government imposed civil rights, and they are the bad guys apparently. So I won't.
>>18499634>America fought an entire war to abolish slavery in their nation.Unsuccessfully, one might mention. The war ended with slavery remaining a legal institution and out-lawing slavery being made impossible at the state level.
>>18499634>>18499724The general opinion until after 1945 also was that the niggers were a one-time thing and free niggers of any kind could not actually become citizens of the United States.So from the US legal perspective, the exception of granting a whole lot of former slaves toleration and citizenship probably WAS the reparation.
>>18499703You wanted abolition, that is how you get proper abolition. Stop moving the goalpost. The Caribbean States were dependent on slavery, the bail-outs were done to provide social stability and ensure economic diversification to compensate for the loss of profits.Not radical enough for you? Want more violence? May I interest you in Haiti, they killed all slave owners and look where it brought them. It's a shithole and almost failed state if not kept alive by Western powers providing over 1 billion dollars in aid annually. They didn't have the foresight to think of what to do after abolishing slavery.>>18499724Doesn't look unsuccessful, I don't see a dark-skinned persons whipped on the crop plantations. Of course the civil war didn't immediately abolish slavery, but it brought down the institution upholding it and slowly phased it out.If you want to bring up an example of the U.S. benefiting from slavery, do it at least properly and cite the children in Bangladesh who had to do slave labour for the cheap clothing you are wearing
>>18498732What qualifies the United States blacks to receive reparations ahead of other peoples whose ancestors have suffered in the past?
>>18499741>Doesn't look unsuccessful, I don't see a dark-skinned persons whipped on the crop plantations.The 13th Amendment preserved slavery as a legal institution. They just made private ownership illegal, shifting to a model of socialized slave ownership, under which elected judges enslaved folks and elected sheriffs and police departments rented the enslaved out to private companies. Come 1939, that became a bit of an embarrassment, so they tightened up how slaves could be rented out, which led to the emerge of the prison-industrial model.
>>18499609m8 there's kidnapping and human trafficking *now*, when slavery's illegal, and there was plenty going on in the antebellum US.Lion's share were still Africans selling Africans of course but "zero" is way too strong.Plus whites enslaved natives, most of whom were sold abroad or died of disease but a fair number of whom interbred with the other slaves, hence the elevated native DNA in African-Americans
>>18499703plantation owners had to deal with mandingos day in day out years on end, they were entitled to reparations
>>18499757Don't care, blacks already live in the most powerful country in history and have a shitton of global representation as a result, that's more than enough reparations>hence the elevated native DNA in African-AmericansThat's actually mostly because blacks also participated in genociding native americans, see buffalo soldiers or miskitos
>>18498732Reparations are a meme but getting cucked out of the GI bill was some obvious horseshit. "Lmao here's a bunch of free gibs unless you're a nigger."
>>18499609Wait so it's not wrong if I go to the nearest port and buy some slaves in a container from a friendly Chinaman?
>>18499609They purchased to do what? Have a party with them? Or breed their daughters?
>>18498732How do you know who is descended from slaves? Should some random Nigerian who migrated more recently just be able to claim reparations?
>>18499746Absolutely nothing - they are the leftists' favourite surrogate victim to have fun with
Europeans prioritize Jews. Not that I think reparations will fix Black American problems, but there's your answer.
>>18498732Because the people who enslaved and sold them (Africans still in Africa) are too broke to pay reparations
>>18498732They should sue the former slave owners and get reparations from them. The government didn't own the slaves.>muh Jap konzentrationslagerThey were interned by the government, hence reparations from the government.
>>18498732They did since they were basically given control of the government after the civil war due to their numbers finally being counted toward voter roles, they just lost all their gains rather quickly due to infighting and lack of foresight that eventually allowed systematic oppression through redlining and other legislative barriers they failed to properly address in time.https://www.britannica.com/event/Reconstruction-United-States-history
