Stop passing down ignorance about Reparations!
Slaves have no rights. Slavery is over. The only true legal case for African Americans is to prove the government had a hand in our oppressed condition as free people. Free people have rights. That's why the Native Americans, Jews and Japanese received reparations idiots. Mozell and some of Baby Boomers constantly ramp on education but you need it yourselves. Learn the law. Slavery was legal. I repeat Slavery was legal and therefore Whites aren't entitled to pay back any of that that happened to slaves. Only free people are entitled to rights and therefore can bring a legal suit as victims. That's why the Armistad prisoners where freed because they proved they were free people and thus entitled to the right to defend themselves and regain their freedom. Only free people have rights and that's recognized worldwide as international law.
The only true case we actually have is to prove our reparation's case is to prove the government during post slavery conspired to either collaborate with the KKK or racist Whites to take away our independence, freedoms and liberties. And that such persons involved in hostilities towards us as a specific group were elected, official or appointed representatives of Federal, State and Local governments. And that they showed through negligence or insensitivity or failure to fulfill their duty obligations of office to protect our rights as freed people. All the burnt down Black towns, homes, businesses, farm lands stolen, Mothers and daughters raped, fathers and sons murdered and our people scattered from settled areas into homelessness is our tangible legal proof.
Whites including alot of you ignorant Blacks still refer to slavery as if Blacks are still angry over slavery. Slavery was legal and there is no case for reparations when making it that grounds of any suit. When you make Slavery your argument then the counter becomes Whites bought slaves from Africans whom actually killed more of their own just to capture slaves and sell to not only Whites but Arabs and Asians. Your argument makes it to easy for them to counter, too easy!
Besides Slavery was not that difficult to overcome as history shows Black Americans were making great progress at the turn of the 20th century with Black Universities, Black Towns and Black Enterprise. It was the anti-international laws of Jim Crow, the KKK and the U.S government's compliance from all branches of government with the racism that destroyed our recovery. And that effect is still lingering today as Black Americans are afraid of banding together for fear of reprisal or angering Whites whom fear our collective progress and government collaboration with them. That is the case we have and can prove through thousands of records. Stop talking this non-legal argument about Slavery. For some of you to be on here stressing education you would do yourselves a big favor to learn the law. Read a little. Lol.
As far as immigrants and others footing the bill. Who cares! They knowingly bought into a country with such a tainted history that was well known and still unresolved when they bought into it. It's like buying a house with a lien on it you still must pay those taxes in order for the house to be totally yours! No case. Move on.

Hello Mr. Washington,
I understand your mindset and your argument about reparation. Therefore, I may be able to unwind you and give you the right perspective about reparations.
It is apparent to me that the water your boat is floating on is White American water. I say that because your argument is based on White American law.
For example, you said this, “Learn the law. Slavery was legal. I repeat Slavery was legal and therefore Whites aren't entitled to pay back any of that that happened to slaves.”
Psychologically speaking, you are voluntarily accepting that White America is superior to you whether you win or lose the argument since they will be deciding the faith of your argument. I believe that your argument is in the wrong court.
For instance, suppose Moses had taken his argument before Pharaoh to let his people go, do you think the Exodus would have ever happened. It was a higher entity than Pharaoh that decided the fate of Moses and the Hebrew people. Black Americans will follow the same precedents.
Black Americans are not entitling to any forms of reparation. You need to drop and forget about reparation altogether.
Black Americans are co-owners to this country. In other words, White Americans and Black Americans jointly own this country. Black Americans will inherit a portion of this continent from our ancestors who were the original African slaves and present day White America. Black America’s portion will become our sovereign country with borders that we may pursue life, liberty, happiness and prosperity in our own way.
Black Americans must come to have their hands on the helm of their own destiny. No form of reparation could afford this ever happening for Black Americans.
I am the way, and besides me, there is no other way that Black Americans could ever become a real people in this world.
White Americans will be hard-pressed, but they will be happy about our sovereignty.
Tell me what you think.
