Hello Aaron,

>Is anyone (on here) in favor of reparations for descendants of slaves?

Raising hand.

>My thoughts on that are this: I didn't enslave anyone, so I'm not interested
> in paying any reparations, unless they want to get to work on my laundry
> right now.

They were people, forcibly taken from their homelands, and then
treated like cattle to do the bidding for their new "owners".
These people, living in a land far from home, treated like animals
(or worse), and not even considered human, with no laws to protect
them.  These are the very people who helped build this country,
including the very building that the Congress uses to write
the laws!

Most of our presidents, up until the Civil War, owned slaves.
And in those days, slaves did as they were told.  Those who acted
up found out very quickly not to do so a second time.

The owners could literally do whatever they wanted with their
possessions.  They could whip `em, fuck `em, chop `em into pieces,
whatever they felt like doing.

This country does not have enough revenue to pay enough reparations
to fix the wrongs that have been done.

But it could apologize, and at least pay a generous amount to show
it's sincerity.  After all, this country did apologize and pay
reparations to Japanese Americans who were forcibly interned during
WWII.

>Will black people foot the bill for this also?

Only those who are not African American.  Such as Barack Obama.

>I mean, not all black Americans are descendants of slaves, but many are.

We all owe Michelle Obama an apology, and reparations.
And also a great deal of gratitude for Barack Obama for
having served as our president.

>So are we going to pay them based on their skin color?

Like Sweet Tea, Southerners always preferred their slaves dark.

>$100/month for full black, $50/month for mulatto? If you get paid to be
> black, then I'm working in the wrong field.

The city of New Orleans had many free people of color, who
were not slaves, and mostly mulatto.  The state of Louisiana
as a whole had lots of slaves, usually darker than those
in New Orleans.

There were slaves not only in the South, but also in the North.
It was an issue the Framers of the Constution would not, or could
not, address.  Like an open wound, it continued to fester.  But
that was not the real cause of division that sparked a war.

>What if I can't afford my restitution? Will I be subject to
>fines/imprisonment, similar to the child support system?

Not at all.  The way to pay for this project is to soak the rich.

>Now all black people are going to become my children, through the eyes of my
> paycheck.

Only those who can afford to pay.  Those who are unable to do
so get an automatic exemption.

>Not going to take it out of white paychecks & direct deposit into black
> paychecks? Going to take large funds out of the budget instead? Great!
> America just became a lousy place for non-blacks to live. Will native
> americans be subject to the black tax also?

No, no, no, no!  You don't understand!  Everything ought to be free!
Everything!  And I mean EVERYTHING!

>Here's another closely related question:

>I'm a democratic candidate running for president, and I need like all of the
> black votes. How do I get em?

The easiest way is to buy them.

>How can I use them all as tools, and then disappoint them later by not
> delivering results?

You can also lie to them.
Just be sure you never tell them that.
Until after you have gotten their vote.
