210 MichaelJarvisCAI recently found out my ancestors were part of the slave trade on both sides of my family from Nova Scotia. They include Thomas Peters and John Jarvis so far - their are much more - they can all be found enttitled " The Book of Negroes " I do not expect an apology - i just want back what was stolen from my family;knowledge, land, and money - to an extant because their are some things that cannot be replaced.

217 JacquelynN'JaiPAUSChase Bank committed fraud by inflating student loans I got from 5500 up to 64,000. They admit to not having any promissory notes past 5500, but I have been fighting them from 1986-2007
218 AnonymousAnonymousFLUSreparations now! "they" should be happy that we are not demanding an eye for an eye!
219 LazurusLightwheyCAUSI wants me some scrilla, too! Hence, I suggest a quantum meruit action to be lodged against the decendants of African slave that recovers the costs of transporting, feeding, housing, medically treating, aborting in the interests of utility, attempting to educate, policing, and incarcerating these people. Such a quantum meruit action should pray for a judgment that reflects a reasonable premium for the benefits bestowed on the obligors in light of what they would have received if their ancestors hadn't left Africa. w00t!
220 GeraldVernonILUS80% of those captured never even lived long enough to be a slave. Our people were subjected to the most inhumane conditions of any group of people on planet earth. We deserve Reparations and we deserve it now, not tomorrow but right now!

223 KeithStantonILUSOur country is at a pivatol crossroad with regards to race and law. All U.S. and British companies that have prospered from the labour and deaths of our ancestors, must take a social responsibilty to asssit in creating a fair and equal America.
224 EleeneCharlesNYI was a customer of JP Morgan Chase I had a couple of credit cards with them. I currently ove on 1 credit card of $5,000.oo initially it was $8,000.00 Any way I wrote Chase demanding that they in fact cancel that debt as just being a down payment on what JP Morgan Chase owes descendants of African Slaves....I downloaded info on their family/business history and sent it to them with the letter. Of course no response except threating phone calls from creditors working for Chase to get the money. So give them hell !!!! from the cradel to the grave REPARATIONS NOW!!!!!

234 MamaAbenaaAfricaMDGHFamily, I have just returned from Ghana and our people suffer needlessly. We are due reparations and the Creator & Ancestors will make sure that the debt to our people will be paid. The call for payment from the Ancients has already been ordered. "Hotep" MamaAbenaa
235 WalterWombleFLUSAs we all know, this is all about money. Many of those who make policy choose the wrong battles to fight. When the Tsunami hit Indonesia we rushed to the aid of those who earned not one cent of these monies, and yet when the city of New Orleans was destroyed in 2005, it remains in shambles to this very day. Not one official asked me or anyone else, "Should we send YOUR monies, that we taxed you on, to the Tsunami victims", because I would have reminded them of the people, who before and after Katrina and Wilma, in need in the United States for unemployment, medicine for the elderly, housing for the poor and many other requirements that must be met before we begin to meet that needs of others. WE are a people that have been oppressed from the onset of this nation's growth and yet we are less than those who came after us. How can one justify the correctness of reparations to the Japanese for their short internment, in comparison to the hundreds of years of slavery and its long term effects upon a people? Many have said that they never enslaved one African or their descendants and we don't deserve reparations but then we must ask, "Who ENSLAVED the Japanese. No one owned a Japanese slave but they were repatriated and compensated. America knows that WE have become educated and understand the “Rules of the game” and as such, WE would be entitled to the same penalties and interest that is imposed upon us when we miss a payment. When the loan goes into default it must be paid in full IMMEDIATELY. Failure to comply will land you in court where they freeze your assets and take all monies due with no concern to your well being or future. We find more compassion in saving the lives of beached whales, penguins and dolphins rather than the human condition of poverty. Even in days gone past, if you stole a man’s horse or ‘rustled’ his cattle you would be put to death but if you hang a Black man it was simply dismissed. They have groups that argue we have no rights and are not the true race and that we should not be here, but they need to face the fact that it was America that brought us here, and now we should leave. But where would this country be if America had to pick its own cotton, build its cities, tend its own fields, and fight its wars, free from slave involvement. These are but a few of the sacrifices that WE have made to make this country the great nation that it is. Who knows, many of the Congressmen and Senators that have to ‘think about’ whether we deserve reparations, their very forefathers could have been saved by a Slave and in short has allowed them the opportunity to aspire as they have while the descendants of the slave that saved them live in abject squalor and despair. Perhaps we should ask for a jury of our peers, former slaves and oppressed people that understand our plight. For as long as we have to ‘ASK’ for the ‘Inalienable rights’ given to everyone save ourselves, we are and always shall be in their eyes, SLAVES
