i think something that is being missed here is that Japan is a country the US does alot of business with. the US wants to maintain good relations with them so they did that, but they wouldnt gain anything from giving reparations to descendants of slaves. everything this country does is purely for gain. for example they intervene in conflicts in countries with things they need like oil or to stop communism, but when there is genocide going on somewhere with no value to them they turn a blind eye.

this thread is full of nikkas with a very tenuous grasp on reality or basic law


reparations would be great for descendants of slaves, but comparing it to the japanese american reparations is fukking retarded...slavemasters weren't exactly keen on keeping record books of slaves and their families; i sincerely doubt anyone in this thread could even name a slave relative of theirs, and that would just be scratching the surface of what you would need to properly put a case together for some type of reimbursement

the government is not going to just shell out trillions of dollars for every black person who claims to have slave ancestors :dead: the same way they didn't just give every japanese american $20,000 to fukk off with...they had to be able to prove with certainty that they were either at the internment camps, or a relative of someone who was

can any of you prove with certainty that your family members were specific slaves at specific periods of time in specific areas of america? at best, you would have to pursue it on an individual basis, researching your lineage and possibly filing a civil suit with the cac descendants of the slavemasters that had your ancestors as slaves...good luck with that

"reparations", as they are being discussed here, are a pipe dream, and the reason those lawyers and attorneys stopped pursuing it wasn't because of Cochran dying, it was because sooner or later they had to realize it was impossible

yes, checks nikka :what:
you didn't mention them anywhere in your response, why the brash response?

That aside, if you are in agreement with the monetary portion of reparations....why are you in here speaking out against it?

If you want reparations to include some sort of training funded training program for people say that.....

WRONG. Slavery was sanctioned by the government which therefore makes the government responsible for slavery and all of the attriciouties that came with it.

Thoroly indoctrinated soul

So you think terrorism is ok as long as America is the one doing it?
:childplease:

Can you please show me how I am "indoctrinated" by stating that the Empire of Japan was JUST as EVIL as Nazi Germany. People seem forget the atrocities and war crimes committed by the Japanese under their colonies and to enemy combatants. You also seem to forget we bombed the Nazi back to the Stone Age resulting in the deaths of 2 million civilians. Did they deserve to die too!? :aicmon:
