What about the Irish population who were treated as slaves in the United States too? Why don't the African population ask for reparations from Saudi Arabia and the conquering arabs who took about 20 million black people as slaves? Aren't they worthy of reparations?*emphasis mine*
How about the late, great Arther Ashe, Muhammed Ali, Jessie Jackson, Martin Luther King Jr, Jessie Owens, Jack Johnson and countless others besides? The thing that links all of them together is the wanting to work hard and get to where they wanted to be in life. Life owes no-one a living, regardless of what colour your skin is, what your sexual preference is, whether you wear glasses or not. If you work hard, you get the benefits. Most of those names I mentioned would turn in their graves seeing what is happening to the younger generation today. They have everything they have ever wanted in life, more so than their ancestors had, and they still want more, which for me, is greed, plain and simple. If you are not willing to put in a days hard graft, then don't blame every man and his dog if you don't make it in life. The onus is on YOU, not the state.
Are you stupid?
last I looked slaves did work hard, also they weren't paid anything... Giving the families of the slaves money that they are owed for unpaid labor is called restitution and is not a hand-out dummy.
Firstly, you misquoted me, since I am talking about today which has nothing to do with slavery. Secondly,
just for you son:
