Who gets the cash? - In the US, would'nt the cash go to Black Americans?

what about the irish? chiniese? germans? spanish? english? scottish? they going to get paid too for being slaves?,up till 1800 there were still plenty of white slaves,,and there saying they want money for slaves back in 1400's,,,well what about all the othere slaves?,,people act like blacks were the only slaves in the usa,,they were not,,anyone who was poor was a slave,,plain and simple,,so that means about 80% of the population was probly a slave at one time or anothere,,lol

MT - If your beliefs cannot withstand even the most superficial scrutiny, why would you hold them so dear?

I have no idea what your rationale for supporting AA while not supporting Reparations might be... given that they are related. You might have a perfectly valid explanation...

But if you won't discuss it because you are afraid that some inconsistancy in your position will be exposed, you are not really dedicated to the truth. C'mon, give it a shot.

Nothing works as well as using a few Michael Moore quotes as bait to bring out the redneck in a person.

[hyena426]

ever hear the old bible saying,,sins of the father and son? talking about how you shall not be blamed for the sins of your father or for the sins of the son<~~pretty much saying,,if your father murderd some one and later down the road after he dies,,they figure out your dad killed a person,,,does that mean you have to be killed for somthing he did?,,no it dont,,what your father did too some one shouldnt have any thing to do with you,,and you should not be blamed for somthing that you didnt do your self,,plain and simple:)

Hmmm, will the jews be bringing their sewing machines with them too?  

Actually if any group or person wants to sue another government I couldn't care less.

Reparations in this case I am against as how in the world can it be fairly awarded? How can it be fairly taken away? Who would be found liable? Too many questions that probably can't be accurately/fairly answered.

Have Black Americans been wronged? Absolutely.
Do they still feel the effects of racial prejudice? Sure do.

Perhaps we're asking the wrong questions.

I've posted plenty on the subject. I've posted plenty on AA, and Reparations. If you think my stand may be flawed you put in the work and ferrett me out.

Good luck in your endeavors Sir Gunthr. But remeber this... sometimes that light you see is just a train coming.

I get real tired of hearing "BLACK" people crying how they were oppressed for 200 hundred years so we want reparations ,
I am jewish by decent we have been oppressed since the time of the egyptians,greeks,romans,spanish,Hitler
I dont expect nor whine about  Reparations  
and I really wish these whiney squeakes would dry up and blow away

[Gunthr]

I believe reparations should only be considered only to those who endured slavery themselves (and not their far ancestors) - Animal

I know of only a few black men connected to AH and Warbirds - one is "Doc" a co-founder of the 332nd Flying Mongrels (with Daddog Glazier) my old squad - who is an MD as in "medical doctor" and an outstanding person, Stigler, the German black guy from Warbirds...  yourself, maybe a few others who came and went.

I value your perspective ...

If you won't partake, I can't force you.

Here in the United States, when you sit down at a restaurant, do you get no service or worse service? When you walk into a store, do you get looked over because they think you're going to steal?
You're walking down the street, do others cross the street in front of you to avoid being near you? Do women clutch their purses tighter as they pass you? Were your ancestors enslaved by this govt.? Passed over for promotions? Never getting "that" job? Denied access to restrooms, restaurants, drinking fountains, etc. (many more samples but I'll stop here.)
...all because of your skin color?

We won't even go into lynchings, beatings, cross burnings, etc.

One can hide one's religion, one can't hide one's skin color.

BTW. It's a heavy burden to carry because of one's skin color, no?
