    The presidential campaign is in full swing in the US and there is no talk about slavery in America today. If the presidential wannabes aren't talking about it and the voters aren't concerned about it then it isn't an issue, or nobody cares about it, or its clandestine and no one knows about it.

    I think you are just very bitter that your ancestors were not one of the lucky ones that got taken to America, so now you are stuck in some (*)(*)(*)(*) hole african country, with nothing better to do than post racist comments.

    Except slavery wasn't a crime back then. That's like letting your kid eat candy and then 20 years later deciding that was a stupid thing to do and punishing your now-grown son for it, claiming that if you don't punish him, he's going to just keep eating candy like an idiot.

    White America is shrinking, quickly. If current trends continue, in 40 years or so Hispanics will be the majority. I sure hope I live to see Hispanics running DC and American affairs.
    Who will the world hate on when white Americans are all but extinct?

    Sounds great, as long as you keep to the requirements of the proposal. Think you would?

    I agree in concept with this thread. Muslim slave traders should have to pay reparations for enslaving blacks and sending them to America against their will.

    Sooo, you admit that you want to extort people who had nothing to do with the wrong doing, as long as you get something out of it? Typical.

    sigh... I'm not saying it wasn't a majority of whites that owned slaves, I'm saying it was a very small percentage of whites at the time that actually owned them, and that many are descended from immigrants that came here AFTER that time period, so had absolutely nothing to do with slavery. Expecting everyone to pay for the crimes of a very few is just stupid, not to mention nobody alive had anything to do with it. Most of the fortunes that may have been made from slavery have long since been squandered, so you would basically be robbing people of money they earned, not inherited.

    Slavery was the law of the land, it took a war and Constitutional Amendment to end it. Most Americans didn't put Japanese in concentration camps, but it was American taxpayers who paid when Pres. Reagan gave them reparations for being put in concentration camps.

    It's not a crime. The crime was done by your founding fathers and they think they got away with it.

    Wisconsin is about 90% white. Move to Detroit, New Orleans, Atlanta, or Harlem. Then tell me how much better the US looks without many white men.

    Most Japanese were still alive then. They were the ones who got it. There are no Blacks living today that were slaves, nor their parents and many came over after slavery. I don't expect England to pay for the Irish slaves or the land they stole from the Irish.

    There are plenty black folks alive today that suffered through the horrors of Jim Crow segregation, lynching, etc., but I know that wasn't as bad as being put in a concentration camp was it.

    Sure it was. But do you think England is going to pay the Irish for what they did to them? For the land they stole? For deporting thousands to Australia, never to see their families again? You can find atrocities all down through history, all over the world. Look at the Jews. Do you think Germany is going to pay the Jews for what they did to them? We go on and hope we have learned from our mistakes.
