I agree with this. The Egytians owe me millions.

- I Demand Reparations For My Ancestors Bondage!!
This has been posted before. White men being slaves is not news. And I think you need to have a real ancestor, with name and everything else to demand any sort of reparations.
Your ancestors were into bondage? I know a few good websites....lowing wrote:

Not sure why my OP got censored. But here it goes again.
It is obvious blacks were not the only race held as slaves, yet they seem to be getting all of the attention for it. Why? Why is the black communities pain and suffering so much more great than mine. My ancestors suffered as well, yet no one is speaking out for reparations on my behalf. I will also bet that anyone reading this OP will think I am a nut for asking for it and a racist for even mentioning it. Is this another double standard of which I, as a white person, must contend with, or am I due just as much a piece of the reparations pie as any one else who makes claims against our history? My ancestors were apparently also held in bondage and I want my reparations for it..........So again I ask, where do I sign up.
j/k
Oh and yes I also demand 100 truck loads of potatoes, 20 acres of land and the magical reversal of four centuries of damage to my native tongue from the Brits.

Just being black is all the proof that is needed, well, I am white, and my race was enslaved, now,someone needs to pay up.
Small bills please, I do not want to go through the hassle of not being able to make change for large ones.
You know it doesn't work that way. Btw, I read in National Geographic that today there are more than 40 million slaves in the World. How about that?lowing wrote:

It is funny that anyone can join this group regardless of race or religion, ethnicity, age etc....... so my question is what is the big "B" all about in their name?
Any group such as this for white people would be protested and labeled a racist organization.
Why aren't groups like these??

The B stands for Black? Jk I think this doesn't contribute to end discrimination. In Greece they have the GAYS, Greek Association of Young Scuba Divers.lowing wrote:

The rationale behind descendants of slaves asking for reperations is that insurance companies that held policies on slaves profited from that fact. The original movement was to recover damages from the insurance companies, not from the government.lowing wrote:

I wonder if lowing starts these threads expecting anyone to disagree with him? Kind of a pointless topic to be honest.
They already stole my bike and my car stereo so I'll be damned if my tax dollars go towards reparations.
Just live with it, there are many inequalities between races. For example here in NZ if a person is 1/16th Maori they qualify for special grants/scholorships/other benefits whereas others don't. To put that in perspective I am 1/8th west indian and I am white as the driven snow - 1/16th is half that. It's quite funny actually to see a blonde-haired blue-eyed person play for the Maori All Blacks, (or Paul Tito who's tall, pale, freckled with curley red hair,) but 1/16th is all you need.

Or are you too afraid to do that in public?
Or were you being sarcastic? If thats the case I'll delete this post.

I always wanted my own music tv channel...
call it W.E.T.

I bet Ive grown up around more black people than the average person that posts here and Ive never heard any of them crying about reparations.
Egypt still owes me millions.
I'm Jewish and so is my entire family heritage...
You don't see me bitching to Egypt about reparations.

I also did 9/11
And made up the Holocaust
And control the Media (I personally own CNN!)
Don't you know? :S
Are you saying there is no double standard between blacks and whites? Are you saying that I can start a White Entertainment Television channel and it would not be considered racist?GunSlinger OIF II wrote:

Basically I am asking why isn't it racist when blacks enjoy exclusive magazines, TV channels, beauty pageants, college funds, any of these things for white people would be considered racist? Isn't that very double standard racist and discriminatory in itself??
Actually I want people to disagree with me.Spearhead wrote:

If it is pointless to you, then there is no reason for you to even show up in here. It is a topic I like to discuss. If you all can have anti-US and anti-Israel threads. I will most assuredly indulge myself in all of the race and "anti-Islamic activity" threads as I see fit to.
As we've established, though, Egypt owes us millions.Poseidon wrote:

sounds like your angry at black people in general. I dont know if thats the case, but thats what it appears to me. I believe you need to point your frustrations elsewhere.
