| If these people were slaves, then I would say definitely, they deserve some sort of reparations. However slavery in the U.S. ended over a hundred years ago. No one alive here today was kidnapped from Africa and brought over here to be sold into slavery, or born into slavery. They don't deserve reparations for something that happened to their ancestors. It was horrible but they didn't live it.
And interesting that no one mentions it wasn't even these corporations that kidnapped the Africans. It was their own people and members of other tribes who took them and sold them to the Europeans. __________________ Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will piss on your computer.
