@lestr83 first of all, native americans have been given reparations, and however slim, they were still more than Black people got because Black people haven't gotten much of anything. Second of all, as far as Black people waiting their turn: slavery happened BEFORE the Holocaust, Japanese internment, and the massive deportation of supposed illegal immigrant Mexicans who were actually citizens, however ALL of those groups have since received reparations, but Black people have not.

@lestr83 What you said was ignorant. Yes, Native Americans are owed much more than they was given. Yes, native Americans has been damn near wiped out! They are owed so much because this is their land but don't lessen the destruction of Africans who was brought to Haiti, Brazil, Americas, Poly Islands, Australia and so on. Check yourself!!! Any bodies brought near demise and survived should be compensated! Respectfully...

(NUMBERS 6-9) Any man or woman who wrongs another in any way[b] and so is unfaithful to the LORD is guilty and must confess the sin they have committed. They must make full restitution for the wrong they have done, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the person they have wronged. But if that person has no close relative to whom restitution can be made for the wrong, the restitution belongs to the LORD and must be given to the priest.

EVERYTHING THEY MUTHERFUCKING OWE! FROM THEIR OWN TORAH, FROM THEIR OWN BIBLE! (EXODUS 21-16) Whoever kidnaps a man, either to sell him or keep him a slave, is to be put to death.

@moonbatsaredingbats lets be realistic. Please compare the numbers of the white people who died fighting verses the black people who died on the voyage here as well as in captivity AS WELL as those who are still being murdered and discriminated against because of racism today.

this is not that hard to believe look at sex slavery in asia & america along with domestic service in America and the middle east of people from africa and asia. Same ol' shit just a different day.
