That was proven to be a myth, they never actually received it

Well of course whites never picked cotton, they used slaves to do it.

And although you never met a slave, you definitely have met the great grand children of them.

Actually, "forty acres and mule" was a myth...it never actually happened. If you calculate the 40 acres times the number of slaves, that would have been the equivalent of giving an entire state to the blacks.

The most comprehensive analysis of shipping records over the course of the slave trade is the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, edited by professors David Eltis and David Richardson. (While the editors are careful to say that all of their figures are estimates, I believe that they are the best estimates that we have, the proverbial “gold standard” in the field of the study of the slave trade.) Between 1525 and 1866, in the entire history of the slave trade to the New World, according to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, 12.5 million Africans were shipped to the New World. 10.7 million survived the dreaded Middle Passage, disembarking in North America, the Caribbean and South America.

And how many of these 10.7 million Africans were shipped directly to North America? Only about 388,000. That’s right: a tiny percentage.

388,000 African slaves made it to North America, that's less than 5%. I'm not saying it's justified, but if the United States only received 5% of the African slave population, why would the United States be responsible for 100% of the reparations?

Facts matter...

100% of the reparations for American blacks....we would not be giving reparation to Caribbean or South American blacks

We give them reparations daily. Who do you think is crossing our border illegally today?

You're assuming any plan for reparations would include a way to discern who is a descendant of the 388,000 Africans who reached the United States, and realistically it wouldn't. Reparations would be provided to all African-Americans, regardless of whether they descend from those 388,000 or not. So yes, it would likely include some Africans whose ancestors originally landed in the Caribbean or South America.

By 100% of the reparations I mean no other European country, most of which saw a large benefit from African slavery, are paying out reparations to African slaves. So yes, the reparation burden would 100% fall on United States taxpayers.

American whites sabotaged Liberia during the cold war because Liberia was siding with the USSR. Had whites not done this, Liberia would still be thriving.

That still leaves millions of niggers who didnt go to liberia and are still causing issues here. I give zero fucks about the state of liberia, all the niggers should have been forced to go there. If they then later choose to go communist enemies, so be it, we can fuck them up over there.

If niggers are so awesome and just need some land to succeed, they gave land in liberia, they can go make liberia great for once.

American whites sabotaged Liberia during the cold war because Liberia was going to side with the USSR. Prior to that, Liberia had the second highest economy in all Africa, and one of the fastest growing economies in the world
