Serious Slave Reparations Discussion Only

What about what was done to the native american indians? I'm half cherokee and I'm not raising hell because of what happened to my ancestors.People alive today had nothing to do with those that drove my bloodline out of the appalachian mountains or then forced them to Oklahoma.Get over it.

I don't know, why don't YOU tell me about what was done to the "native american indians". Why are you posting? Trying to get the last word or something? Or do you have some solution to offer? With your attitude you have no right to raise hell regardless.

So..you want to buy the votes of the black folks for the libertarian party. Democrats have already played that game out. I am a southerner..and my family has been in the south since the 1700's. My uncle far removed was AP Stewart a Confederate General...and My great uncle removed , Benjamin Stewart was a physician for the Confederacy. None of my ancestors ever owned a slave. I figure the blood of my ancestors is reparations enough. Tones

Dee Brown's Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee explains part of it.

There is only ONE group that deserves reparations, it's not the blacks, not the natives, but the

JAPANESE AMERICANS

that are still alive today and that were put in camps during WW2. Other then them no one else alive today should recieve reparations, because they want them for the ancestors and from people that had nothing to do with anything.

Hmm. That is an interesting point. I would still be against reparations as a group, though. There may be several individuals within that group who have grounds for compensation, however.

I do agree that having oppressed ancestors shouldn't be grounds for reparations. My point to the OP (not that he or she has any interest in it at all) is simply that the issue with some of the native tribes involved treaties between separate nations. Treaties are legal contracts. The OP, however, appears to have no interest in examining any argument that doesn't involve passing out cash in exchange for votes.

I think the Indians get reparations and the Japanese get them. OR the Japanese got some money but perhaps not ongoing. tones

Hey, Cherokee over here! Anybody hear about the trail of tears? What about the sioux slaughtered in the west?

Slavery? Doesn't that require a master and a slave? Should the black race then become a master and the white race become the slave? Hey, hey wait a minute that's what's happening now. Isn't that a government program, called affirmative action? Isn't it called welfare? Isn't it called lowering college test scores?

Hey, hey wait a minute what about the mexicans who were driven out of Texan? I got an idea, why don't all the white men leave this country and leave it to us cherokee, give Texas back to Mexico, give California back to Mexico and send all the blacks back to the homeland of Africa? There you go reparations for everybody!

Or we could just restore the US Constitution and stop trying to be superior to each other (you know the master/slave thing) and begin to act like one people, with one goal: All men being created equal, and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness kinda stuff. You know kinda like the Ron Paul message, where one class, one race, one people isn't responsible for the care, upkeep or provision of another. You know kinda like the Martin Luther King: I have a dream speech.

How about that? Doesn't that sound like the plan?

There's stuff in the Constitution about not being held responsible for your fathers debts as well.Get over it.Take it up with God when you meet Him.
