Should white people pay black people money for unpaid work from slavery?

No, I had nothing to do with it and neither did the people complaining, so why should I pay compensation based on the colour of my skin? Isn't that just as racist as the slave trade?

And if we did this, why shouldn't we compensate everyone who's been wronged in the past? How about all the homosexuals get a payout from the Catholics, the Jews from the Germans etc...?

It would be hard to justify compensating people who were not victims of the activity and victimise those who were not either. If anyone was going to pay something out it would be the respective governments who legalised the activity, not random white people.

This is the best post here and it has received little recognition by anyone!

I find it hard not to agree with this, and personally I believe we should be grateful that slavery isn't accepted now as it was. However it's still going on, and rather than compensating the ancestors of victims, why not use that money to stop slavery and human trafficking.

Also it seems to come across that there is no money going into the poorer countries that have suffered from the slave trade, however there are charities as well as government aid funds or whatever they are called which help develop education systems and healthcare systems.

not really I think blacks still are affected by it.. think about it Africa was turned upside down due to slavery it was fine before it was invaded. Whites still throw slavery in black peoples faces... PAY UP

Yes, and not only that, but a lot of that charity money ends up in the back pockets of General UmbaWumba who oppresses the native people more than any whites did.

Do you honestly believe what you're saying? typical.. trying to pass the bucket, its a known fact these charities only use 10% of every £ donated. 90p goes towards "admin fees".

Yet you're using a Japanese username. Typical Otaku. (Wannabe Japanese)

being unable to tell that i was going along with the joke

using Otaku incorrectly - the correct term would be weeaboo - Otaku relates to an obsession, usually anime or manga

using a meme as a username. Typical 420 meme exp3rt. (Trying too hard)

nice going champ, you did great

Actually quite a few Caribbean's and African Americans say they want reparations for the millions of unpaid hours. It's quite a big issue in race relations in the US.

The logic is that a century of slavery has disadvantaged black people to the extent that it accounts for the disparity between whites and blacks on every single available indicator of well being today. To address this imbalance some claim a lump sum should be paid to black Americans, who are nearly all descendants of slaves.

Whoa it's a non-Japanese telling me that i'm using a Japanese term incorrectly. Funny.
Otaku relates to a person with obsessive interests in Japanese culture, including anime and manga which are -surprise- a part of Japanese culture.
"Otaku" is a Japanese word, it's a slang used in Japan to refer to such people. 'Weeabo' is an English slang that's only used by non-Japanese.
Thanks for the lecture though, 'Kaiju'.

While I'm certainly no advocate of slavery, do the people who propose this idea realise that without slavery, most of them wouldn't even be living in the US right now? No food on a whim, no clean water, no free healthcare (lol America), no electricity? Slavery certainly didn't benefit those at the time, but it's certainly benefited their descendants who are no longer living day-to-day in Africa (assuming that in an alternative timeline minus slavery they'd be poor by African standards).

To me, it just seems like they want what everybody else wants: money. They're using an atrocious period in history as a scapegoat to get money out of the government.
They're not going to be in any better position having a few bob winged their way. Money may buy a nice house, a car, and some food, but if the person receiving the money in question doesn't have a job then for how long are they going to be able to pay their bills, their petrol, and their food for?

Money won't sort out the disparity between the two races in question, to assume that it will is plain idiotic.

How? are you that stupid to realise Africa was fine before slavery?

and you do realise Africa is a continent.. its got poor people and rich people,

it would most likely be way better as a whole if whites didn't invade. Africa itself was one big country with no divides, guess who divded it? whites whites and more whites who has a patent on Eblo? whites, Africa was hiv free until... thats right whites got there. White people cause mayhem everywhere they go.

anyway..

Define "fine". Somehow, I don't think white people ****ed up the plenty of food and lakes of clean water that Africa doesn't have.
("Plenty" meaning that there isn't exactly a Tesco every 5 miles).



You're confusing me with someone who shares their shoe size with their IQ. Also, lern 2 read.
"assuming that in an alternative timeline minus slavery they'd be poor by African standards"

I've bolded the relative bits for you so you don't have to strain your brain to read it.



None of which I denied. You've also made no attempt to actually answer anything I said.

By the way, this white vs black game you're playing is retarded. But as much as I'd hate to stoop to your level, I like games, so:
Who brought electricity to Africa? Whites.
Who is helping the affected parts of Western Africa to contain the Ebola outbreak by donating money to train nurses,and medical supplies? Whites.
Do you think Nairobi and the other developed parts of Africa would have the infrastructure it does without the help of white people? Highly unlikely.

This "white man is evil" diatribe really isn't becoming of someone who lives in the modern world. Yeah, I get it: white people have damaged Africa, and some parts will feels the effects of it 'til the end of time. But that doesn't actually offer a retort to any of the points I've made.

I've seen that picture before. Nice repost. It also doesn't tell me anything that I didn't already know. Did you expect me to say "Wow, I didn't realise that such a tiny portion of Africa was affected by the Ebola outbreak!"? Sorry to disappoint you.

If white people hadn't tried to colonise half the world during the Imperialist years, then the affected countries wouldn't be nearly as developed as they are today, and would likely be complaining that the descendants of those who didn't colonise half the world should share the wealth that they've created for themselves. Can't have it both ways, pal.

You are missing the point.. tell me documents stating African slaves agreed to endure years of torment and slavey to in return receive electricity and help with a virus created in a labatory by white people? help my ass? stuff the electricity rather the diamonds.
