U.S. owes black people reparations for a history of ‘racial terrorism,’ says U.N. panel


Quote:Didn't someone point out how there was a formal apology in 2008? Do you want a different one?

 

People are upset because others are telling them that they should be financially responsible for something someone else did 150 years ago. Things that these people don't agree with, they're now being told that they should pay someone else for troubles they're ancestors went through. Do you not get upset with other people blame you for something you didn't do? When the government thinks they're entitled to your money? Do these things not upset you? 

 

If people are mad, it doesn't mean it's a white vs black thing. It's a government taking your money thing.
