   We already gave the English their reparations. They are still waiting at the bottom of Boston harbor for King George to collect.

  What you typed makes little sense in English, and even more confusing when I pasted it into an English to Welsh translator. However I think the answer will ultimately be "no".

No one alive in the US today has been a slave or a slave owner so the idea of reparations is ridiculous. Another policy of virtue signaling to get votes.

   There are Americans of Japanese descent still alive who had property confiscated in WW2. For every other group of people, your ancestors are dead. My sincerest condolences. Claims of reparations died with them.

I have 2 direct ancestors that were indentured servants in VA during the 1600s. So does that mean I get reparations as well?

   You could get in line to file a claim, but there are about 3 billion people ahead of you. I'm still waiting for my check from the vikings. A whole village pillaged in the 9th century is pretty expensive in today's dollars.

probably should pay all native American Indian descendants for taking their land.  Elizabeth Warren can cash in on that deal.

Just when you think they can not get any weirder, they do, and next will be what?

Yes, this is just plain stupid to talk about.  It has to be a ploy to gain black voters.

 

I just don't think anyone is dumb enough to believe it

Shouldn’t the reparations have been 150 years ago? I don’t the racial problems today are due to slavery. 

Segregation laws did exist until the mid 60s. The effects of slavery didn't just die out at the end of the civil war.

He wouldn't because his father was from Kenya.

As someone of an Irish background, I would assume.you would be more upset your fellow countrymen were coerced into filling the ranks of the Union armies in the Civil War
