    That's WHY you have a massive poverty problem.

    How do you think we GOT to the "enormous opportunities and safety" we are in now. And just what is this "enormous hash" you are talking about anyway?

    A family is not a nation. The Paradox of Thrift illustrates that.

    Slavery was ended by the first Republican President, over a century ago.

    I disagree.Compare the life expectancy.The U.S slaves lived longer lives than their fellow Africans who stayed at home. I'm not condoning slavery just stating the facts.

    Right wing propaganda has become so trashy. I used to respect your game, but you’re all such a joke now.

    Ok, so I'll bite.

    What exactly are these "much worse" alternatives of not paying reparations?

    discontent, civil unrest, riots, open revolt.

    And these are not the consequences of reparations not being paid necessarily but just what happens when social programs are neglected.

    If you have all the advantages of the richest and freest nation on Earth, yet still manage to remain poor .. you are absolutely doing it wrong. You are CHOOSING poverty.

    A nation is constructed of families.

    That's what you're in process of getting now, but rather than 'riots', it'll be a mass exodus from the Democrats (by Black Americans). Surprise!

    And 'social programs' are the REASON.

    What was their method to get the slaves here. Did they blackmail ship captains and plantation owners? Did they put a gun to their heads? Was it the market working it's magic?

    Yeah, and caged animals tend to outlive their free counterparts in the wild.
    Of course you are turd polishing for slavery. You ain't fooling anyone.
