    And they don't have to choose to leave. You leave and get $1 million per person, or you stay and get free tuition, medical and live tax free for 50 years. I have no idea why you think that's terrible

    Better than the $1500 per person you're suggesting

    $1M isn't enough per person.

    How about $150M and get to stay? That's actually fair. If reparations are ever done, I'm sure it'll be for something less than that dollar amount.

    $150 million per person would bankrupt the united states.

    You just talked about your calculations paying then $1,500, then you say $1 million isn't enough, or free medical tuition and no obligation to pay taxes which is still more than $1,500. Now you're saying 150 million each?

    WTF

    No it wouldn't.

    It's a lot less than the money the Fed printed and Obama borrowed over the past 7 years.

    I think reparations, particularly in those kinds of dollars will cause resentment, and more damage to race relations. Just my opinion.

    $1500 is what I calculated Irish indentured servants might be owed. But they're not because they already got their reparations.

    You asked about the $1500.

    Apparently you don't bother to read what I write and just post whatever.

    Whatever.

    Denny, you make it sound like every single white person benefited personally from slave labor 200 years ago.

    Conversely, you make it sound like there are actually people alive today who were wronged personally by slavery.

    This is why I say you don't understand the privilege it is to be White in this in country.

    Yes, every single white person benefitted personally from slave labor 200 years ago.

    The vestiges of slavery are still with us, otherwise we wouldn't be having racial tensions.

    I've explained several times how white people today benefited from slavery.

    Your great grandfather gifted 40 acres and a mule or land via homestead. Remember?

    This thread really needs to die. No one's opinion has changed and it keeps splintering into weird side arguments. You have a few hours to get your last few odd racist rants in before I close it.

    I'm sure I could change at least one opinion with another 90 pages of thread but sadly, it would probably be my own

    There are racial tensions between white people and Mexicans. Maybe we should give back California, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. What do you think?
