We need to pay Africa reparations, with interest

[Utilit99 4,099]

Someone a long time ago bought some slaves from some African people who enslaved them. But human lives shouldn't be bought and sold so those transactions should be deemed null and void.

We need to pay Africa back with interest by sending them all the black people we have in our country.

I know this is an extreme approach, but I think it best to do the right thing. It's only fair.

I’ll bet if you asked random black people on the street they would say white people invented slavery and were the main importers of stolen black slaves. Reality is they were selling their own people as slaves worldwide for far long before and I’ll guarantee far longer after we stopped.

They're still doing it.

Just looked it up. Slavery is not only still a thing but it’s FAR more lucrative and popular than its ever been. There’s more than triple the number of African slaves now than at any point in the historic slave trade. From their own people. . You can’t make this stuff.

It's surreal how this "African American" label has come up as a badge of pride for most black people. Dumb as rocks.

Member Liberia?

Instead of sending black people away how about we send all the racist white people to their own country. This country can be any where on earth. The only rule is just like Isreal this new country has to be an ethnostate. 

I would suggest this new country have access to an ocean. You don't want uppity white people fighting for a port. They should also get plenty of land. Again we know how white people love their manifest destiny. 

That should make everyone happy. And in 10-20 years that new country will be sending people to Mars. While the rest of the world is dealing with race riots and covid2040.

I choose that the White people get the lands of North America, between Mexico and Canada.

That would be a pretty good deal. Unfortunately that is too much land for the amount of people who would populate this ethnostate. Let's say you get Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee, maybe Arkansas if enough people sign up.

Remember many white people would remain right where they are. In fact most would. Which reminds me of another rule once you turn down the opportunity you can never apply again. Descendants may apply however they will not receive voting rights. The third generation will receive voting rights after a mandatory 4 year service to the state. Service guarantees citizenship.

But China owns Africa now.  So do we pay China reparations?

Yeah, they can have half and Africa can have half. We can let them figure it out and tell us which boat to put them on.

I think I should be paid reparations for being robbed of the right to own slaves.
