Larry Elder says slave owners were entitled to reparations...

The "kangs" were easily caught. Stop trying to use white people to make up for that fact, Stephen. If you get reparations then you immediately should give them to me.
You've got to look at what laws existed at the time. During slavery, slaves were considered property and people PAID MONEY to get them. That is just a fact and I'm not getting into whether slavery was moral. Those people lost their property, based on government action (changing the laws), so you can make a case for compensating them for their loss.
I don't think anyone would have any problem with reparations for anyone, who had been a slave. It's been over 150 years, since anyone owned a slave in the US. What would you be getting reparations for?
Whites get blamed for slavery all the time, but let's go back to the source. Black tribes captured other Blacks in Africa and sold them to the Dutch traders, who subsequently sold them here. Why not seek reparations from the people, who started the slave trading chain?
Thank the Dems. They gave you the Klan & Jim Crow laws, yet somehow they've conned you into voting for them. That's gotta be embarrassing.
He's gotta be better than Arrogant, Elitist Gavin "Do as I say, don't do as I do" Newsom. He is singlehandedly trying to destroy that state through his incompetence. Newsom is a more articulate, younger version of Biden. Both dumb as posts.
Neither the slave owners, nor the slaves are alive today. NOBODY got reparations and it's about 150 years too late to start down that road now. Let it go.
Live YOUR life the best way you know how and if you have kids, try to help them have a better life than you did. That's what you have absolute control over, so do your best. Being angry about shit that happened 150 years ago is just distracting you from improving YOUR life.
You do realize that slavery still exists in the world today, don't you?
Africa is again the world’s epicenter of modern-day slavery
Armed conflict, state-sponsored forced labor, and forced marriages were still prevalent in Africa.

Don't you fret your race centric mind at all...
between ballot harvesting and printing your own ballots will allow enough cheating to keep your boy Newsom going. One thing Dems do SO well.....cheat to get power, and in California they are masters at it.
Get over your White guilt. Slavery is still prominent in Africa today. The US Cotton farmers didn't create it and when we abolished slavery in the US over 150 years ago, slavery still continued to the present day throughout much of the rest of the world.
You really need to stop mainlining all the crap CNN is feeding you. There are currently over 20K Federal, State & Local Gun Laws on the books. Do you honestly believe that passing gun law #20,001 will be the panacea that will keep anyone from ever being shot again? Perhaps we might try ENFORCING the laws on the books already. Perhaps giving someone, who uses a gun in a crime an additional 5 yrs of prison time on top of the sentence for his other crimes might deter gun use.
It's incredible that the same people, who want to coddle criminals and defund the Police, are the ones most adamant about taking away guns. Why? What's really their agenda?
About 99+% of the gun owners follow the laws and a very small group of CRIMINALS are the ones misusing the guns, but of course ALL GUNS ARE EVIL. Would it shock you to know that guns are inanimate objects?
I hardly talk about reparations because I know they won’t happen. You don’t get the point. You guys get on me for calling select black people Gumbo/Sambos. The point of my post is to show y’all why in all these folks Gumbo/Sambos. You got a black man, interviewed by Candace Owens of all people, talking about making an argument that slave owners should get reparations. At the same time against reparations for blacks. That is why Elder and Owens are Gumbo/Sambos. Like the old saying goes, I’m glad it wasn’t up the them to free the slaves.
Shhhh.....how dare you. Don't you know that when discussing slavery, you're never allowed to discuss how African blacks were originally captured by other black Africans and sold to whites. Slavery is strictly a white sin.
150 years ago, a case could be made for reparations for both, but when it's mentioned now by politicians, they're just pandering for votes.
Since I have no idea what Gumbo/Sambo is, I won't touch it.
For the most part, I like both Owens & Elder. I didn't hear the conversation, so I don't know the context.
Most of us white folks on here don't, accept for Bob, Indy31, Purduefan1 and a few other special people. They flog themselves mentally for their white privilege.
