Please, don't play "never in my life .. from an administrator" line.
It's beneath me and I am speaking from one person's point of view. And about respect, you had about as much of someone having a cool drink in hell you'd get any quarter from me when you threw this out there..

There would be an incredibly few number of black people living better lives here in america than in some crappy underdevoloped third world country. I'm thankful my ancestors went through rough times to get me here....so should they. If they want to sue, ship them back to wherever their ancestors came from and tell them they don't deserve what their ancestors got for them.

I can tell you how it affected their lives. It affected their lives in a positive way too. IT LET THEM LIVE IN AMERICA, which i'm sure the majority of black people would agree that it's a hell of a better place than africa. The fact of the matter is that african's enslave each other all the time. It's not like we ripped them out of the "black utopia" that many people seem to think africa was. Back then slavery was just a part of culture. We just jumped on the bandwagon. If they're still pissed off about it, I would be more than happy to give my tax dollars to let them go back to africa. But if they enjoy their lives here in america then they need to STFU!! My ancestors had rough times too beyatch.
Where is your idea of "respect", now?
And I guess you can talk tough but don't have it to follow through?

So, I guess you basically left yourself open for a rebuttal of the straight up kind. You sound a good game but all I hear is all you want is to make you point. I ignore your point for a higher cause.
Soon as you can say slavery was wrong knocks out your point you are trying to make because when there is a wrong, anything you do until you right the wrong is wrong.

Did you notice, I never said slavery reparations was right? I was showing that Black people have more of a right to sue that just make up bullshit causes.
Did you know that the government made a promise it DID NOT KEEP?
I just pointed out the other side of things you refused to see.
I pointed out why it is possible for such a suit to be processed. Who has heard of having a one-sided discussion before?

How can you have the same opinion after having a fact shoved in your face? And from a Black person? I mean, why bad-mouth them like you know whats better for them? Why try to prove your point when one is telling you "NO." straight to your face?

Next time, ask before you blast.

My ability to Administrate has nothing to do with this topic or thread. Remember that.

And anyone who says Blacks are better off here than in Africa needs a wake up because the fact slavery has depleted Africa over 20,000,000 people, you can't say because you don't know what Africa would have been to this day.

So I can say, slavery helped America grow to what it is today.
Example:

You can bet America's economy was helped by slavery by employing all those people to build those ships..
Next time you might want to back up your observations with a fact.
If not, expect to be slapped down..
