Reparations for Slavery NOW!

I need their physical addresses....bet could hold them up through the mail. Freakin morons.
My reparation ideas are two fold....first anyone that was a slave and is alive now should get reparations. Anyone who wasn't a slave gets two choices, prove to be a descendant of a slave and you can be paid a lump sum of $50,000 and a ticket back to your ancestors country of origin to live out your days, or stay in America and take advantage of the opportunities this great country avails itself of.

The Democratic Republic of Congo for me. Some of our past leaders include Lamumba, Kasavubu and Mobutu, with characteristics very much like our own Obama. What would be a fair taxpayer check for me. Surely some stipend would be fair.
My DNA ethnicity analysis comes from Genelex Labs in Seattle in July, 2008 and 23andme Dec., 2018.

If you're a black descendant of a black slave owner, oh yes, they existed, do you forfeit your stipend? Or, do you have to put a little something in the kitty?
So many questions, so little time.

Any differences in the results between the 2 tests?
OMG!! I'm entitled to reparations. Hell, I/DBros. put lots into The Fox/Forty North kittys, not to mention The Village/Dallas. Where do we sign in?
Sunburnt,
(no offense intended)
Since your Dad was the family member of color, who owned who first ? Mother's tribal ancestors owning other tribes and/or negroes, the Negro slave owner owning African slaves ? Or the dutch transporting and selling to the plantation owners ? It's so damned confusing !

Actually, yes.
Genelex is the Oprah Winfrey lab and I paid $600 for ethnicity analysis in 2008. I'm much, much more Indigenous (American Indian) than with 23andme).
Genelex no longer does ethnicity testing. I read they were sued by an Australian lab for using their patented testing methods.
23andme uses analysis from their own data base. They later sent an email informing me I was blacker than they originally reported. As their clientele grew they found more members to match me with. Apparently more African Americans are in their data base than American Indians as I understand it. I paid 23andme $108.95.
I have second paternal cousins who show no Indigenous American at all with 23andme. Some do. All show Sub Saharan African.
Did 23 and me give you genetic insights that describe characteristics and possibly correlate with future illnesses?
I'm guessing we "knew" some of the same Village kitties.
All those who use slavery as an excuse for their current circumstances, victimhood and desires for reparations need to count their blessings that their ancestors were brought to the US. They live in a country of opportunity more so that any other place on Earth. The question they need to ask themselves is, "What would their life be like had slavery not occurred?" They could very well still be living in Africa in huts wearing loin clothes and chasing animals with spears. Of course, they could also be urbanized professionals or urbanized non-professional struggling to survive daily. Regardless, the opportunities in the US far exceed those from where their ancestors came from. But, they have to work for them rather than expect it to be given to them.
Is anyone gonna axe me why Walter Williams and I adamantly oppose affirmative action? I know. "Axe" is Ebonics.
Why do you and Walter Williams adamantly oppose affirmative action?
Another dividing idea by Dimms. Punch drunk Republicans have gone along with this hair brained scheme in the past for fear of being labeled racist.
I want to out score imprimus straight up on a civil service test. If I can't, how can I brag in good faith? I have to look at myself in the mirror every morning.
At last check, eighty percent of postal workers in Chicago are black. Chicago's population is not eighty percent black. Check out what this scheme has done for race relations.
Penn State once had a program. Black students who maintained a 2.5 GPA received a stipend at semester's end. One young man received such. His white room mate's coal miner father , who worked his hiney off in a West Virginia coal mine received nothing but the usual bill. Result: We've created a bigoted young white man, along with his coal miner father.
Some black Americans slack off because they go into the arena with an edge..
I wish I could like this 1,000 times.
I'm just a regular ole brother, the same as I see in all of us.
