256 DavidLerellILUSI'm a 39 year young african american tradesman out of work. It seems as though the only "skilled" job I can get without being turned down is an 8$ an hour factory job. I cannot even buy insulin for my diabetes with that kind of money. Anyway, I'm all for the Reparation Act, Thanks for your attention, David Lerell. Ps.

261 AnonymousAnonymousGBAll demands by descendants of black Africans for reparations begin with the position that they themselves have been damaged by the practice of slavery over two centuries ago. One would infer from this argument that the present inhabitants of black Africa enjoy s higher standard of living, are happier, and are better adjusted than American blacks, who have been denied the advantages of black African citizenship by their slave ancestry. Should any American slave descendants actually believe this and wish to be made whole, the only normal legal remedy would be to repatriate them to the African locale identified by their DNA. I believe that such a remedy would be heartily endorsed by a white population that has derived no clear benefit from the existence of black African descendants in their midst. In fact, there might be whites with the temerity to claim that blacks of African descent are an enormous net loss to the remaining racial and ethnic groups which comprise the rest of the population. Without them the crime rate falls below that of Japan. Without them the entire state and federal bureaucracy needed to sustain them would wither and die. Without them productivity would rise sharply, as affirmative action and the enormous demand it makes on the economy would disappear.
262 AnonymousAnonymousGBA few thoughts….There are many more but you want find it on the self-interested black community websites! 1. Can someone now living sue on the part of someone else who’s long dead? 2. If so, would they need to establish some clear line of family relationship, rather than just a vague and presumed racial kinship? (racism). Could we do the same for the (living, current era) black criminals who commit 80% of crime globally? 2. Whatever transactions occurred in past centuries, these were considered to be normal “business” dealings at the time, and were completely legal. Can these companies be sued retroactively for something long past which was fully legal at that time? 3. Is there no statute of limitations? Even after centuries and generations have passed? If not, this opens an enormously complicated can of worms, justifying individuals and countries to sue for past grievances without limit. Theoretically, Britain could sue Italy for the Roman invasion, or sue Norway for the Vikings’ raids. So yet another black policy of division, something they pour great energy into.
263 AnonymousAnonymousGBIf a black man kidnapped me, and a (different) black man then set me free - but afterwards I chose to live in his house - why would I sue him? Greed and racism, of course.

270 JohnHarrisonGAUSTime has come to stand up and admit that the treatment of Africans brought to this country and treated as subhumans. African Americans are still suffering in our communities and families as a result of slavery. Stand Up America and show that you are the great society that you claim to be. John Harrison
