jews, japanese, and native americans all received reparations..

Nobody owes anybody squat for what other people did.
Whether the other people did it last week or hundreds of years ago.
I've never heard of Jews getting reparations from USA.
I [and probably you] am a native American.
If you were born in America, then you are a native American whether you like it or not.
But Indians got reservations. Indian culture was technologically retarded.
So Indians lost out. Technology wise they slept. "snooze you lose"
I'm white. Your being black doesn't cause me to owe you anything.
[maybe my blood ancestors were abolutionist
and if anybody owes anybody then you owe me]
CRACKER John Brown was HANGED due to his seeking to use force to free slaves/end slavery.
Ever heard of any blacks like Jesse Jackson say a good word about him ?
Anybody looking for any of his decendents to do anything good for them ?
America became wealthy due to relative social stability and an economic system
that rewarded productivity [which encouraged technological progress.]
Some particular families [like S. plantation owners and slave traders] were enriched by slavery.
Such as the DeWolf family.
But the existence of slavery slowed down overall economic growth
and reduced wages for the multitudes in the "po white" laboring class.

The Black community is crippled by the notion that whites in general owe blacks in general.
That notion makes it nearly impossible to have peaceful mutual respect.
I expect dollar worthless and USA in violent chaos within two years.
Mark it down on the wall. If I'm wrong and you remind me a couple of years from now,
I'll buy you a cup of coffee. At my favorite cafe in beautiful downtown Uttaradit Thailand.
