    Yes. Now let's make it more complicated. I speak for England.

    Considering the mess that our Left has made of California that just might be on the table.

    because many families in the powerful elite in america directly benefited from slavery and still do to this day. their corporations exploited the free labour and made them the powers they are today.

    so basically your argument of not having to pay reparations is because europeans havent paid up and they began it. is that correct?
    im not aware of slavery in europe as being on such an astronomical scale as it was in america, to answer your question. maybe you can enlighten me.

    No one is paying for anything that happened in the 1800s. Unless of course you want to pay me for the despair my irish family went through. But you don't care about that :(

    Go learn what is a rhetorical question.

    Europeans did not want black Africans in Europe they sent them to their colonies in the Americas, the continued their style of white slavery for decades as did the Northern states here.. Are you under the impression that America and Americans established slavery in the Americas? Or even more misguided the United States established slavery here?

    There's no elephant in the room. No one alive today deserves a dime. What a horrible argument

    but the beneficiaries of slavery are alive and run the biggest corporations in america built on the back of slavery as are the families of those who had to work their entire lives as slaves with no pay. have fun defending the devil and his ways bro but its a dead end road heads up.

    America defeated england in lawful battle for freedom, we don't owe you reparations.

    a case could be made for england paying reparations to America due to taxation without representation. when America got its freedom it never seized any of the wealth that was stolen under the royal family of england at that time.

    President Trump could make some trade negotiations with your country where the reparations from england be paid to us that way, similarly to how mexico will be paying for the wall to ban illegal immigrants.

    See that's where your theory goes south. Every group of people at some point in their lives was affected. The government isn't going to pay black people, irish people, Japanese people, jews...etc. Reparations is the dumbest thing on Earth. Black people are not any more deserving than any other group of people.

    Then tell that to your American Blacks. You don't owe them anything. You freed them from Africa in lawful Freedom.

    england is the reason American Blacks are suffering.

    when england pays America reparations for the theft of America's wealth by their royal family, we will give those monies to the descendants of American slaves today as reparations.

    Come and get it! I want you to try.

    You are a Trump Supporter, right? They can't handle this forum. Words on a computer screen.

    Turn the filters off and let's really talk.

    Americans are civilised free market capitalists, we will get our reparations from you through trade negotiations.

    since england is a nuclear power lawful government force is not an option.

    the redistribution of wealth necessary to pay reparations for the theft by englands royal family from America can only be returned through lawful government force, or private free market forces. since she is a nuclear power, we must use trade deals to make mother england pay her debt back to America.

    it is impossible for one American patriot to accomplish such a burden on their own, therefore it would not be a sign of courage but foolishness.

    many American patriots working together towards a common goal would be courageous.
