“The blood of 500,000 Americans was shed earning freedom for slaves.”
Well put, navydoc. I hadn’t considered that before.

Marion: You think the statement that I made is out of line? You’ve got to be kidding?
Yes, I think it’s out of line because you went and stated that some Africans were responsible for selling out their people when we know who was responsible for this.
We all know the American Indians were treated horribly, but the slaves were treated like animals. Worse than the Indians by far.
I’m not for any monetary reparations for black people. As has already been said, we should move forward now. We’ve already come a long way as evidenced by the fact that we have a black candidate for the presidency of the United States. There are other things we need to focus on such as a national health care plan.
I can’t feel guilty about slavery, I’m black. However, a lot of people mistake me for some other race. Yesterday, the maintenance man came to look at my washing machine and asked me if I was Indian (Not the American kind). Haha.

June 5, 2008 at 2:23 AM #217131orthofrancisParticipantThese reparations can never be done, as it’s too confusing. As someone pointed out earlier, what about people like Obama? Does he get a half share? What about the small number of African Americans who actually owned their own slaves. Do they not get any?
12 million Africans were brought to the new world. The vast majority went to Brazil, and the USA received about 650,000. Roughly 100,000 Irish were also brought to America as slaves too. Ever wonder why so many African Americans have Irish sounding last names? Many of the slave owners “bred” the African slaves to the Irish slaves.
It is impossible to track down, and there are too many confounding issues. A simple apology will do.
