Do you support reparations for black people for slavery in the USA?

Every contribution is welcome, in Liberia they are waiting them with open arms!

Actually 90% of white americans dont have any slave owner ancestry, because most descend from the 19th century waves of migration from Ireland, Germany, England. Only about 10% of whites have ancestry of slave owners. So no, modern White people have absolutely nothing to do with slavery and they dont owe absolutely nothing to black people.

Most whites have at least some colonial ancestry. Most aren't descended from slave owners because only a minority of whites ever owned slaves.

Agreed that much more than 10% of whites have colonial ancestry. I would also argue, though, that most of us colonials probably do descend from a slaveholder or two. My colonial ancestry is working class and from the Midwest, and I still have a few lines that held or probably held slaves at some point - Virginia/Kentucky Anglos and New Netherlands Dutch. I would have scoffed if anyone had told me that growing up, but what do you know? I doubt this is a rare situation for anyone but New Englanders and maybe Pennsylvanians.

Everyone in the world was victim of slavery including whites, to say that blacks alone are victims and deserve reparations is preposterous.

And this is coming from a lover of Africa.

It is preposterous that you don't see the difference between that kind of slavery and what blacks experienced. I disagree with reparations for other reasons.

Should Europeans demand reparations for the North African slave trade that abducted millions of European women to serve as sex slaves in harems and European men who became eunuchs?

In fact the North African slave trade was even more worse to Sub Saharan Africans than the Atlantic Slave Trade. At least in the Americas, the Christians didn't put African women in harems or routinely castrated African men. I just think North Africans want big black booty but are afraid of their competition from African males with big black cocks.

The African Americans are barking up the wrong tree when it was their fellow Africans who sold them to slavery and Africans have it worse in Africa than America.

This doesn't make any sense. Your analogy doesn't make any sense. Because we are not talking about reparations to the home country but the country in which the slaves' descendants live. Talking about giving southern Europeans reparations for the North African slave trade is like talking about reparations to Africans living in Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Congo etc over slavery. This is about blacks living in the United States specifically.

Also, there are other huge differences between the Islamic and the Atlantic slave trade. The Atlantic slave trade involved chattel slavery where the person is completely stripped of all rights, and yes women were indeed concubines for slave masters.
