Re: Reparations
That's not how reparations work. You are no more and no less "America" than the descendants of the slaves. The US harmed these people -- formally, officially, legally. Now the US can make good on it.Originally posted by The Sicatoka View Post
You are saying the equivalent of "you can't sue a company for wrongdoing because that will affect workers at that company who didn't do anything and might even have been hired after the wrongdoing was finished."
No. That's not how this works.Cornell University

Re: Reparations
So isn't the bulk of the "claim" then really against Britain and France?

Re: Reparations

Re: Reparations
I guess I was unaware that the US government formally brought in slaves.

Re: Reparations
Western African nation, near the Atlantic, towards the north. While they've officially outlawed slavery at the national level, the government looks the other way.

Re: Reparations
State and federal government supported slavery. Our military was used to support the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade the same way it's used today to prop up the profits of extraction industry corporations. With such things as the Fugitive Slave Law they criminalized opposition to slavery.Originally posted by SJHovey View Post
