Why do some keep bringing up reparations, when most Black Americans haven't even considered that thought?

"The networks do not run to get David Duke's comments, like they do from those two racebaiters. When we did hear Dukes comments on the tube, they were portrayed as over the top, which they were."



He has a radio show, a Youtube subscription to follow his video and has been constantly in the media; also David Duke claims to be White people spokesman so it must be true. Once again, absurd. (Michael Savage also claims to speak for White people.)

I rarely have time to watch television; I only catch certain specials and read mostly from books and the net. Most people in all demographics are busy and aren't glued to the television waiting on what Al/Jesse has to say. As I stated before, not the spokes person for 42 million Black American and most are too busy to care.


"18th, 19th and 20th century repeatly; Tulsa, Northstar Minnesota, NY, it's all in the history books.
Not that I doubt you but can you direct me to what you are referring to?"

These accounts go on and on; from North/South Carolina, California etc..

"I can't think of a single Indian Riot, or white for that matter."

You must be joking; there were White riots in the 70's, and 80's as well. Black Americans have had only about 5 major riots in history; White Americans rioting record reaches 100. Um the Indian population is small, they to had riots, because of government and racial hatred pointed towards them once again.

"Too funny! Pet Dogs have youtube subscriptions and Duke's radio has exactly How Many Listeners?"

Funny how you state this, when you previously made a comment about him not having anything recent on Youtube, no news coverage etc...All of which I proved to be false. Michael Savage is a race baiter, Fox news are race baiters, and the list goes on and on. Nice try, but no cigar.

"In every instance that Blacks and Black business has been effected, it was blacks that were rioting."

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the reality is many White Americans were the ones stone walling Black businesses. All of the damage repeatedly done, had to be built back up by the same community over and over again until things became so dangerous they ended up packing. As you can see the towns that were successful and predominantly Black are now predominately White. Basically benefiting from the past hard work of those who came before them.



Same thing happened to my grandfather in North Carolina; he had to move because the Klan and the racist folks near by just couldn't stand to see him doing well. So they vandalized his shop and land repeatedly and one close death encounter that he had to fled for his life. Consequently the thieves ended up taking over what "HE" worked hard for.

"but you cannot deny that many are FOR it as well."

Um yes I can; Black Americans made strive, great contributions and sacrifices for a country that constantly took away what they earned and spat on them. Even so, most never asked for a damn dime back and most just want to be treated equal, not better or worse.

It is so funny how many want to focus on an issue that most Black Americans thought was buried and done away with. America has given to Native Americans, Japanese Americans, Chinese Americans, Jewish Americans and so on; reparations that were given for their collective hardship as a group. Black Americans never were given reparation for their Constitutional Rights being held away from them from before 1776 through the 1970's and yet we didn't beg nor asked.

So again I say that many like yourself are full of sh*t; why focus so hard on a group that always have exerted themselves for a country that never did so in return? Why are you not complaining about Native American, Jewish, Japanese and so on reparations, but whine about a group that doesn't even want it for the most part?

Did Black people asked for their wealth to be given back after their homes, business and neighborhoods were constantly burned down from 1776 through the 1960's? No.

All they ever and still do want is to be given the same opportunities as others with no bias and their Constitutional rights.

My grandfather business was burned down and vandalized in North Carolina; things got so bad he had to move to NJ and start from scratch. He never was given compensation for the Klan burning all of his worth that he wanted to pass down to his kids and to me, but he never asked for a God damn thing in return. He sucked it up, worked 3 jobs and so did my grandmother with their 9 kids.

What does many equate to out of 42 million, and why do you keep bringing up politicians as if they speak for a total population?

If we are going to play that game, then I could say many Whites wanted welfare which is why it was implemented. How many in White, Native, Jewish etc...wanted reparations/privileges from government and that is why they were given it.

Time and time again this bill gets voted down, yet it keeps getting mentioned as if it will pass.

There is another reparation act that has more of a chance of getting pass than any Black Slavery reparation bill, yet many don't seem to get that nor care.

Yes I do believe some Whites constantly bring it up and I've never heard anyone who is Black on/off the site bring up reparations. Some people keep bringing up reparations pertaining to Black Americans for the same reason they try to lie and pretend there is only a Black history month; ignorance.

"Not 730 out of 43 million. 730 out of the 968 black people who saw the poll on www.blackvoices.com and responded to it...that makes 75% of those surveyed. You DO understand how polls work don't you? NOBODY has time to poll all 42 million African Americans in this country."

SMH Um duh Jack; I saw the poll and stated the obvious fact that it is no where close to 42 million and 730/968 doesn't cut it.


"While the survey failed to ask whether or not blacks think whites should pay for reparations, 80 percent of those surveyed said white Americans, even though they did not own slaves, continue to be enriched from the unpaid labor of slaves."

"Respondents were also encouraged to write in their own ideas on how reparations should be paid, including restitution to those who invested in the Freedmen’s Bureau Bank, which folded during the Reconstruction Era. Some have also called for incorporating more African-American history into school curriculum and providing more subsidies to black farmers."

"As part of any reparations deal, 70 percent of blacks said the president should apologize on behalf of the federal government for the years of Jim Crow discrimination."

Nice try, but you proved me right once again; the poll asked them to write in their own perception of reparations. Some stated just more Black Americans history inducted into education, some just an apology and the list goes on. So far the first one is B.S, because it just has a group of people that isn't even half of 1% of the total Black population and the second one asked to write in their own perception of reparations and many stated things that didn't equate to money.

The third poll even more hilarious how you put up these polls without reading the context: 500/700


8.) Do you believe that reparations, in any form, will ever be paid?

9.32 percent of our participants voted, “Yes, it’s inevitable.”

58.17 percent voted, “No, and it’s time that we moved on.”

32.51 percent voted, “Anything is possible if we fight for it.”

Thank you very much:
