If slavery had NEVER been introduced here, their descendants would probably still be in the Homeland, or Europe. Would today’s ‘Reparations Now’ black Americans be happier if they lived in Ghana or Nigeria…or other Africa nations still practicing slavery?

As for Europe, we posted an article a week ago that, if the POOREST 20% of the U.S. were a nation, that nation would still be RICHER than most affluent European countries.

Reparations are based on a LIE…today’s black Americans have the same opportunity any other American has to build their lives. Ask Condoleezza Rice, or Ben Carson.

America sacrificed hundreds of thousands of lives to end slavery…why should those descendants owe anyone anything? Many of their ancestors gave the ultimate.

That said, the only way an argument for reparations can stay alive is to make those pushing for them into victims…and the pushers then become enablers of victims.

Here’s our July 2015 post on this issue…

This warrants re-posting in today’s nonsensical world…

Whether black, brown, or white, why doesn’t anyone ever think about what their lives would have been like if their forebears had remained in their native land?

Before agonizing over present conditions in the USA, what was their alternative, had their ancestors stayed in Nigeria, Guatemala, or (the former) Yugoslavia?

Regardless why they’re here, isn’t it fair to compare their American lot to where one would be otherwise, before complaining…or demanding reparations?

Check the Worldbank poverty map, then please explain why anyone from the areas noted in bright red would curse their existence and lot in life, in America today?

Whether by acts of slavery, seagoing stow-aways, or perilous treks from Central America, today’s Americans owe yesterday’s immigrant forebears eternal gratitude…

…no matter what Life’s journey brought them here.

So, why the continued references to ‘reparations’?

Just wondering…
