Anyone who was a slave should step forward and be given their due. If you weren't a slave personally, you have no claim. [/quote] I was about to post the same thing! :clappa: [/quote] I am sure those slave ancestors would be so proud to see their blood money going to great, great, great grandchildren who do drugs, who turn down their opportunities to learn at school, who steal and harass, who are violent, who have babies at 16 while not marrying, who choose not to work, who cannot seem to speak English, who think the most important goal in life is to bag as many sex partners as they can find...

Slavery reparations could carry a $17 trillion price tag
A new bill would calculate potential costs of reparations — and by Yahoo Finance estimates, these could reach as high as $17.1 trillion.
Last week, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties held the first hearing in a decade on H.R. 40, the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act. The bill was first introduced in 1989 by former Congressman John Conyers (D-MI). Conyers reintroduced the bill each year until his retirement in 2017 — and each year, the bill languished in Congress.
