Where is my reparations for the white man killing all my Native American ancestors?? What about my Mexican ancestors who were pushed out of half their land in California, Texas, New Mexico ect. Why are black folks the only ones complaining?

Why aren’t any other enslaved ethnic groups demanding reparations?? Black people were not the only enslaved people in history. Not even close. It seems that black Americans have adopted the victim mentality. You know it’s true because they prove it, everyone says blacks act like victims now a days.

One last point. My Native American and Mexican ancestors were both oppressed by the white man but I will never in my life ask for a penny form anyone because I can make my own money and I don’t look at myself as a victim of others sins.

Blacks do not consider what they have already been paid, or what is their fault and what they owe only being Biased. Add it up Black people owe Reparation to USA for forcing slavey on the world. Out of the 18 million east Africa and 12 million sold by Africans west cost only 380k came to USA which at that primitive time couldn't stop slavery, SO it is blacks fault, AND US paid with over a million dying in Civil War(not removing amputees that later died from disease like the lying history changer do). Therefore, Blacks owe Reparations to USA, but True patriots only want all to work together for what's best for all, and are not evil unforgiving like them. Notice Blacks never go to Africa saying they owe, and that looks racist. Luke: 32, 33 only helping others are you good, and white ended slavey, but Blacks only care about blacks we could be heading into WW3 and blacks will vote to destroy USA doing evil. Your rhetoric is what makes the looters, Burners, liars, murders, that rob steel, but cuz you bias that's what you want on the way to hell. Unless Blacks repent USA will be destroyed.

Blacks owe REP forcing slavey with only 380k coming to USA out of 12 mill, and mill die in Civil WAR.

That exact mentality is why this sort of reparations argument will never go anywhere and never do anything other than create resentment. White people do not need to be accountable for slavery. No one alive today owned slaves and no one alive today was one. Many of us, including myself, had ancestors who were not even here when slavery happened. Many of our ancestors came from European ethnicities that had nothing to do with transatlantic slave trade, and even those who do have ancestors involved are not responsible for those ancestors' actions. Those very few who may family wealth built up from slave ownership should do something, but even they are not responsible for the actions that created that wealth. Guilt is not passed down through blood lines. Recently, I found out that I may be related to a serial killer who lived back in the late 1800s and ended up being sent off to Siberia. If I am related to him, am I responsible for those he murdered?

Um, er....you mean welfare?

Why not take the median white person's net wealth and give that amount to decedents of US slaves (native Americans too)? Then we can end Affirmative Action and blacks should feel fully compensated.

God damn right

Reparations is far overdue! if the government can send our tax dollars to other countries they can pay reparations

It's very hard to FIND any slave ancestry in your family tree if you're a white southerner because those records were mostly falsified centuries ago to get out from under the one drop rule - that's not to say it isn't there, but it's mostly been lost to history. Native American ancestry as well - not many European women came to this country for most of the 1600s, so a lot of female ancestors from that far back would have been Africans or Native Americans who were baptized and given European names when they married a white man.

Slavery has historically been widespread in Africa. Systems of servitude and slavery were common in parts of Africa in ancient times, as they were in much of the rest of the ancient world.[1] When the trans-Saharan slave trade, Indian Ocean slave trade and Atlantic slave trade (which started in the 16th century)[2] began, many of the pre-existing local African slave systems began supplying captives for slave markets outside Africa. Wikipedia

I’m pretty sure my Eastern European ancestors had 0 slaves. Generalizing all whites as descendants of slave owners is as lame as generalizing all blacks as gang bangers. We should look at our elected officials and see how many of them are descendants of slave owners, how many of them are descendants of coal and oil barons who worked the Slavs, Italians and Irish into the ground, how many are descendants of railroad tycoons who abused the Chinese worker, how many of them have underpaid undocumented housekeepers. We know who our enemies are. We always have. We just need to unite against them. Left or Right they are all the same.

So by his logic, if your great grandfather murdered someone 60 years ago you also are guilty of murder and should serve time as well?

They had nothing to do with what happened but they feel like they deserve it...they know for a fuckin fact they don't deserve shit but will still ride on their ancestor's bones to claim it.

I've said this for years. Thank you.

Yeah, It doesn't make sense, besides people now of days not being responsible. What about the people descendants of immigrants who arrived after the civil war? Or even take the Irish for example, they came to America to escape the British Empire and mass starvation and 200,000 of them were drafted into the US army and navy upon arrival to fight in the civil war.

@Mike Smith where in my statement did I mention “civil war”? It wasn’t just the American civil war that Americans freed other men. Learn to read.

@Mike Smith Still don't get the point of your comment. That doesn't neglect the fact that 160,000 Irish soldier fought for the Union plus the fact the 20,000 "Irish" soldiers that fought for the Confederacy you're referring were predominantly Ulster Scots, major difference.

Stop being lazy and go after your reparations...if you can.

😂😂😂😂

@tflg325 What the hell are you even talking about? Are you trying to make a point that your a red blooded American a true William Poole AKA Bill The Butcher. I guess you must be a WASP who can trace their family lineage back to the founding fathers or Plymouth Colony.I guess the part of my family from Ireland who came over in 1840's and fought for the Union in Civil War it still doesn't make me American enough

@@shocbomb23 what about all the black people who were free labor to this country long before your supposed fam came here and fought for the Union? What about the blacks who were enticed to help lead Union soldiers back into the South as guides after escaping to their freedom only to be treated as animals by Union soldiers and offered as sacrificial lambs when the heat got hot. What about all the black people who served this country for hundreds of years domestically and abroad only to go back to their homes and continue to be treated as less than equal. Recompense needs to be made to black people, the same way it was given to the Indians, the Jewish and the Japanese. Aa black man/woman is so reviled that "public opinion" towards paying an age old debt owed just cant be done. I will give you a grand example: This bullshit country loves to stick its nose in other peoples business in the name of Democracy. Well, when the Haitians revolted and ran the French off the Island of Hispanola in 1804 but fighting for thrir freedom, France, with the support of Spain AND the USA imposed an economic sanction that was not paid off until 1947....saying that free black folks owed their colonizers and slaveholders. Yall need to check your privileges and actually lear some factual history and context. Maybe you should query Lizzy about te debt you feel you family is owed cause they were subgigated to soem form of prejudice or forced to leave the UK. Thats entirely up to you. But dont sit here and joke about the reparations owede to blacks as though its fucking welfare you twit. You fam came to the states and had opportunity to make something of themselves solely because the US economy was built on the backs of enslavd peoples. If white euro immigrants COULD have done it on their own, the why DIDNT they? Africans were minding their own business in West and Central Africa.....no one asked to come here contrary to popular belief.

Yeah exactly

BINGO

@Marvel6🇺🇸 You need to lay off whatever you're smoking, so maybe you can put together a coherent message. There will be no reparations, that you can bank on.

@sony_pat 6 Dude, I think both of you are high as fuck, but then again I don't speak gibberish.

@sony_pat 6 preach, this shouldn’t even be a discussion.

Stop ridiculing Donald trump.

Don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house.

It's not about revenge, it's about laziness, entitlement and free money. If they cared so much about slavery, they would have brushed up on history and realized how many white people struggled and died to abolish slavery.

@@howardmencini3040 Could be. I say everyone on the planet do a little research into their history, find where their ancestors were oppressed by another race, get reparations from that race's descendants, and then before long we all receive paychecks. It'd kinda be like that Beavis and Butthead episode where they buy chocolate from each other. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/bqNjrIqrq4B51X0.html

It's not about revenge, it's about getting a freebie forever.

@@Flumazenil lol that too.

Your family owes the same thing mine does. On one side, Swiss immigrants who came in the 1930's to farm, and sent 3 sons off to fight in WW2, only 2 came back. On the other, Mexican immigrants who came to a country where they believed in the promise of if you want it, you can work for it. My Grandparents on that side occasionally had 6 jobs between them. But they raised successful children who went on to raise successful children. All while facing plenty of racism along the way... but surrendering to it was simply not an option. This is America, where humble beginnings can grow to great heights... just ask Charlemagne.

Funny, both of my grandpas parents were from Norway, and both of them fought in WW2, one in the Aleutians and one went to the Philippines.

Nothing

your family owes them nothing.

Thanks and gratitude

He's evolved and grown...how about you?

@Ruok I'd rather have some guys like Peter Kirsanow and Sandy Darity. Thomas Sowell believes in freedom of choice. To choose and how it affects the outcomes of peoples lives. If we took that route they'd just move and leave. (White flight) we need reperations to build our own and make it so it doesn't matter if they leave. We'd still have all of our own resources and tax base.

Lol

@@mecojohnson3509 how about getting a job or starting your own business so you can earn it instead of demanding whitey cut you a check for something they didn't do and something you didn't experience. Btw, I was wondering when you plan on sending me a check for my ancestors dying in a war to free yours. I'd prefer a cashier's check please

@Ruok no they wouldn't have him on because he wouldn't push bills narative

That is what the center is for, bridging left and right :)

Bill has never been full on liberal. He's stated before that he would be a conservative if the conservative party were actually conservative, but they're not.

Its because leftists are so insane.

@@RespiratoryDrive-vy9ih Bill is a Liberal. Currently American Leftists are just too extreme that he looks center.

@@Dedition Yes, there's a world's difference between liberals and far leftists. The extinction needs to be made more clear, more often. In relation to youtubers the youtuber Destiny is a liberal while Vaush and Hassan Piker are leftists. Very clear distinction there.

He has to pay himself. He also has the obligation to apologize to his mom for being white and for everything he did yo her when she was a slave and he owned slaves, but also gets to yell at his dad for marrying his mother because that is continuing the horrible things that slave owners did to their slaves by making her his wife and forcing her to have his child.

Though in fairness he did say he'd be perfectly happy if it were means-tested, and paid to people poorer than him.

ok white boy

@@imiss2pac427 racist

You don't criticize jamie diamond when he sits before Congress in a $5000 suit and his $30,000 Rolex looking for a bailout ? Why?

Dude your comment suggest that you do not understand what reparations are.

I'd like to see if he is actually descendant from a slave or not. He says he is 90+% african, and his family could have came over here in the1900s. There are millions of black people that were not descendants of slaves in america, and presumably charlamagne would make a distinction when handing out checks

@@MtnDewWarrior that’s the big thing also so many black people here think they deserve money for slavery yet their ancestors weren’t slaves same way how people say white people should feel bad like do they not realize most white people are immigrants after slavery also lmao

What a shameful thing to say. MLK wanted reparations from slave owning ancestries too!

African Americans are less that 13% of the population. American has depopulated African Americans since the end of slavery; Lynching1882-1968, Tuskegee Project 1932-1972, Rockefeller Drug Laws 1973, Crack and Aids epidemic 1984. Then America "massive" import of black immigrants from the various countries of Africa and Caribbean 1980s.....so today they dominate in numbers everywhere. What does this all mean? America is guilty of Violating the US Constitution and Civil Rights. Also a Violation of International Law with crimes of Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing. Back immigrant can not be labeled African American regardless if they were born here (Charlamane). African Americans are a unique Bloodline and an ethnic group. African American are native to America. African Americans are Not indigenous to American but they are natives through slavery. America intended for African Americans to mix with other Ethnic groups through immigration so there will be no more claim to slavery in America. There were/are African Americans that were smart enough not to mix because that will Change/Erase their bloodline. African Americans living today are true survivors but in less than 20 years they will be extinct. Reparations are past due!

You have to work to pay taxes, so I'm confused at your second part.

Picking tobacco and cotton isn’t exactly building a country

@@whatisanickname9292 But the wealth generated from the evil forced labor DID knucklehead.

@@ronaldgetches6782 Not enough idiot. it's very idiotic to redux and simplify economic history of United Sates, to plantation production.

Slavery was bad for the American economy though, the South was really far behind the North before the civil war. Britain early to abolish it, became a really strong country after getting rid of it.

Bill is referring to Glenn Loury. For anyone interested, Loury and John McWhorter conduct a series of discussions on bloggingheads.tv I've watched some of their disccussions which address many of the same topics discussed on Real Time.
