What about poor whites then? Should they get reparations? There are vastly more poor whites. Did racisim and the system make them poor?

And I am calling your racist because you are. You are not a bad person, but you honestly think that Blacks can not make it in America without help. That implies they are inferior. Asians can make it. Hispanics, but not blacks. Ergo, you are racist. That is my whole point of reparations. They are a racist notion that a certain group of people can not succeed in a nation that has fucked over everyone. Look at the history of the Irish in America. More than half the population of Ireland came to the New World as slaves, yet you would be laughed at for suggesting that I should get reparations. And if I were to claim that I can not get a break due to my ancestor's enslavement, no one would take me seriously. The Irish suffered from slavery the same as, or more than any other ethnic minority, yet for some reason Irish can do fine without handouts. but do gooders like you think that for some reason, blacks are incapable of fending for themselves unless white people do it for them. Hence, you are racist. No offence as I am sure you are a nice guy, but you thinking so poorly of blacks is racist.
