As a Caucasian American, do you owe reparations to the descendants of slaves?

Absolutely, unequivocally NO. NOT AT ALL. It is one of the biggest, ongoing, hate mongering non-issues being perpetuated by the likes of bald face racists like Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, & Luis Farrakhan. Barack Obama, and other black race baiters with their cancerous hands perpetually extended trying to get something for nothing, creatures like Sharpton and Jackson have done more damage to the healing of race relations than practically anyone else. Jackson, the fat man who never missed a meal; 40 to 60 pounds overweight, what has he accomplished for his people. And let's call a spade a spade, Obama had touched the flames of racial discord at every opportunity. Ask yourself, honestly, would you be better off if Jackson and Sharpton had never reared their ugly faces in your life? I think the great majority, with the capacity to be honest, will have to admit that nothing good has ever materialized from these poisonous vipers involvement. They are only interested in stirring-up trouble to keep their mugs in the news and the contributions continuing to fatten their coffers. nothing more and noting less. I am deeply surprised and deeply saddened that the wise people and people with character seem to have taken seats in the back of the bus while Obama is attempting to drives.
I don't like the fact that there are charlatans who would seek to rip at the seams of this country. We have a Black man in the White House and a Mormon and a Catholic running against him. America is well on her way to dropping silly prejudices. That's pretty cool.
Now, I'm not a huge fan of President Obama, Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson... but I would NEVER publish anything that is inaccurate as what you've posted.

My theory-GO HOME if you worship that war torn, starving, rape pillaged land.
I'm not sure what you're talking about in referring to "go-home?" I was born in Dover, Del., and I am an American so I really hope your theory wasn't addressed to me.
You also have to remember that we live in a very diverse country, and some people may have different political views than yourself.
I don't believe in reparations to Blacks or decendants of slavery.
Finally, some of the African nations are unfortunately war torn, starving, rape pillaged land, but we all in the industrialized nations had our hand in why their country is the way they are today. We shouldn't take ALL the blame, but our interest is soley not on humanitarian causes only. Natural resources is our number #1 goal. But then again, we the people of the US lead the way when it comes to helping others throughout the world.
With our problems, I strongly affirm that we live in one of the greatest Nations in the world. I sure as heck don't see other people breaking their necks trying to get into Canada, England, Germany, or France. :)
We are, what, 4 generations since emancipation and though I wouldn't categorize that as ancient history, I would state that it is time to recognize that we do not live in those times anymore. A Black American sits in the Oval Office of the Presidency of the United States and if that isn't proof enough that society, as a whole, has moved on.. well, than it's too sad. I also say the same argument holds true for Native Americans or any other race that was persecuted in the past.
None living today were involved with the atrocities of the past and though it should never be forgotten, at the same time we should all continue on a path of healing and acceptance.
That continent has not largely changed in several hundred years, war, slavery, oppression, starvation, refugees fleeing their homes to avoid said disasters and the rape and murder of the women and children.

hhhmmmmm....any ideas?
If the Black guy was that big, he wouldn't ask. It should be a small child compared to grown man, in relation to material power.
This picture is more realistic.
Signs of the times--->
Second of all, for me, personally, my ancestors came to the U.S. in the late 19th Century, several decades after the abolition of slavery. AND they came to New York, which didn't have slavery even before the Civil War, AND they were poor immigrants from East Europe with no money for slaves.
So, in short, no.
And since the south lost, the FED has been effing the states and ignoring their rights.
Besides, how many black people would want to be living back in West Africa? It's an absolute hell-hole!
