Reparations for slavery

[Donovan]

People who think that blacks were ever adequately compensated for slavery, or "made equal" at any time up to and including the present day, are certainly mistaken and almost as certainly white. It's simply not the truth.

Regardless, if you're going to compensate someone financially for slavery, why aren't we talking about compensating the native Americans as well?

"We" are. And in truth a great many tribes have received financial renumeration over the years in the form of land grants and nominal lump payments and tax breaks etc. In some cases the financial settlement is quite large and is actually being refused by tribes who feel taking the money would somehow justify what was done to them.

Comparing the native peoples to the descendents of slaves is an apples and oranges thing, because in the case of the former we were dealing with multiple sovereign entities, dozens if not hundreds of autonomous tribe groups that we essentially robbed and destroyed over the course of a couple centuries, while the Africans were people who were kidnapped and used as forced, uncompensated brute labor. And treated as chattel to be disposed of or killed at will. Something we don't even do to animals today.

Of course I'm sure you were already aware of these things. You seem like the type who does careful research before shooting off your mouth
