Native Americans never got reparations. They were treated even worse by the US government.

I think women deserve reparations for the thousands of years of oppression, repression, denial of rights and unpaid servitude to men - where do I sign up?

My honest opinion is that Africans should be greatful they managed to get out of Africa, even if it was by less then optimal means.

We were slaves treated as second class citizens up till 2001 and still are hated by the government that when we die they don't give a shit.

They never investigate our murders but when a white is murder they assume one of us did it.

Native Americans were the victims of a full-blown genocide, weren't granted citizenship until 1924, and weren't given 1st amendment protections until 1978...

You can argue the treatment all you want, but it is blatently obvious that today they are much better off then the cesspool that is modern Africa, ever since decolonisation.

Just compare to the Chinese railroad workers, who got treated as slaves, but came over willingly. They then spent their money trying to get their entire families over.

If anything, its the Natives that are the true victim. But I'd sooner kill a few hundred more of them then give their land back.

Everyone can claim oppression, enslavement, and discrimination at some point in history. Women, the Irish, the Scots, the Armenians - everyone. Does everyone get compensation? No. Should some people be compensated for something that, historically, has happened to everyone's ancestors at some time or other? No.

I have been hated cause of my race in this 21st century my mother has at her job and many other people we are still looked at as slaves or evil people just look at the media and how they show us there.

It sounds funny, but I'd have to agree with this.

Should slaves have been given reparations? of course.

Unfortunately it is far too late for that, the best that could come of reparations is inflaming race relations.

The government has apologized but do you think that's all we deserve were getting reparations and if that means we need to make majority of the government black then that's what will do.

At this point? yes. And good luck with the second part. :roll:

Try forgiving people for things that never happened to you. That might help.

And women, for the most part, can still look forward to fewer opportunities for advancement than men. We can still look forward to working full time out of the home and then coming home and doing all the housework. We can still look forward to getting paid 3/4 of what men get paid for equal work. And, finally, we have an African-American President but we don't have, and probably won't have a female president for another fifty years - if this country lasts that long. Get over yourself and stop whining.

The head of the Government is Black, guess what? He's a descendant of a Slave Holder...and the White members? Theyre the descendants of Slaves...

At this point, you'd be hard pressed to determine even who gets the reparations...
