Who's fault is it?

It was my ancestors fault.


Slavery, it was the white man keeping me down. Guess what, I have never owned slaves. So stfu If you want to talk about oppression see my ancestors from Ireland. Should they get some reparations?


How about the polish and the shite they endured? What about the native americans and small pox in the blankets(which incidentally was perpetrated by the Brits)? Also It had a negligible effect on Indians.


In conclusion oh boo who. Who am I going to blame?

Who's fault is it?
Do you know what reparations are? Reparations are payments for work you or your family did without payment. For example, all the companies that used Jews as free labor in WW2 had to pay the families. This is because they did work for them, but never received payment. The idea is that we also used African Americans as slaves but never paid them. This is a unique situation to what other oppressed groups in the US have endured.





And although many groups have received very unfair treatment in the past, I don't think you can compare the way the Irish were treated to the way Africans were treated.
Reply:a reperation isn't always money- it can be a formal apology.


jews received one.


I'm not sure if african americans have received a national one- some states have given one
