Why does me talking about how I imagine id feel as a person who's a slave owner relate to my sarcasm in this thread.
I'm wasn't arguing for slavery, I was putting myself in the mind of someone who has a vast fortune based on slavery and wether or not I'd give up that lifestyle taking into account its in a time where slavery is relatively common.
Basically saying anyone on this forum put into a situation where they're raised in a different era would be likely to have a different moral outlook.
How it relates is this.
In your op you quote a guy stating:
"It's sad you know because this what happen, because they not helping the black community, like you know, the rich people they got all this money, and they not like you know tryin to give us none."
Not the best articulation, I know, but here's the thing. The Jews and the Japanese were paid reparations for the injustices that they suffered, but were not able to do the same for black people?
You guys look at it like it's a handout, but people actually put in hard labor and were paid nothing, how about paying their families for all that free labor.
Those generations had nothing to pass down to their children hence the economic inequality.
If you want to balance scales you must remove weight from one side and add to the other. Eliminating the policies that created the unbalance in the first place, simply leaves the scales unbalanced.
How would one go about doing this? I don't know, but I would focus on the major corporations that profited off of slavery.
