it was not given up. for those who wanted to go/hated this country passage was provided and if you wanted your own land and a fresh start one could do so in a the 40 acres and a mule program. the reparations for those who wanted to stay was the right to stay. as many were inbred to the families they served. many of them were given lands to share crop.

you wrongly assume whites are the only purest/racist people on the planet. if you think whites are racist go to old korea. or japan or hell go to africa and not be black skinned. my point is not this was a valid solution, but what they were discussing in that day, and what's more the men and women who were actual slaves were over all happy with what they got. we got to remember different times different people
A: Which only proves my point that they were given bad terms that caused them to stay in America. You yourself stated that they stayed because their lives in America were all they knew. And once the choice went from "making a name for myself by running Massa's old land myself" to "abandon everything I know to possibly run a farm on another continent that the government may or may not actually let me have" (remember, they already changed the terms of the plan; who's to say they wouldn't do it again?) it only makes sense that far fewer would go along with it. It's not even a matter of whether they liked the conditions of slavery; it was a question of whether the devil you know is better than the devil you don't. 

B: The reason I said "given up" is that you argued, "Are you serious? reparations were paid" in response to Biker's question about the modern-day plan for reparations (which, in itself, is a strawman), heavily implying that because we tried that, there's no reason to try now.

C: No, I don't think white people are the only racist people on the planet. In fact, I specifically stated that I don't consider the prejudice plus power paradigm applies to individuals, and I remember you personally using the "I'm half-Korean, so by your rules, I can't be racist!" card in the past. And, frankly, the racism of Koreans or Africans is not the issue at hand in this thread: it's how we can address the systemic inequalities that have resulted from slavery.
