And was it worth it? Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world that depends of white countries help.

Yes that is unfortunate but yes it sure was worth it as they're running the show now; no matter what state the country's in .

This discussion is unprofitable. We're not looking for reparations from you. You couldn't pay even if we blamed you. Our issue is with the way our communities were held down when the U.S was on its way up in the world, ~1930-2000. Blacks were kept out of unions, 1/3rd of the men were imprisoned for an average of 10 years, the family was broken, drugs were forced on people who already weren't doing well, and now they've programmed women into gutting another 1/3rd of the men while they're still in the womb.

That's the problem. If you feel guilty, give the Nigerian immigrants a primer before they come here: "You're walking in on the easiest part, and you have no real ties to this mess, so don't talk shit."

I feel absolutely no guilt for the slavery of Black Americans. Wasn't alive for it and have nothing to do with it.

I have though seen some Black Americans suggest seeking reparations from Africa, which is why I posed it as a question here.

Aren't African Americans generally better off than Africans, financially speaking? What are we going to use to pay the reparations, our faeces?

The Igbo say, you don't look for something in the bag of someone who is looking for something.

Which Africans Americans are better of financially than Africans?
Even the Africans combined in America are better off than them

African Americans are, in general, better off than Africans. Don't waste your time and my time arguing this.

Africans in America are a select group and is not a good representative sample population.

I've been thinking about this lately and wondering. Are they owed reparations? They are currently requesting reparations from the United States government, which I support them on. They worked the land. They deserve it. But are they owed from Africans?

At first I thought yes, because they were sold and if you are going to ask from the buyer, it makes sense to also ask the seller. But then I thought the basis of them asking from the US is the idea that they built the institutions in the US that helped establish it as the country it is today. They did not build anything in Africa. So is anything really owed to them?

NO! We owe them nothing. Do you know why? Many of these so-called Black Americans claim they are indigenous to the Americas anyway. They claim that they are not descendants of Africans. So if they are not descendants of once upon a time Africans, then why should they get paid anything from present day Africans? Go and see Black Americans on YouTube claiming that their ancestors have always been in America and that they the Black Americans are the so-called Native Americans, lol I thought to myself, I wonder why you guys ended up with African features rather than the olive tan skin and bone straight hair that Native American people are known for but what do I know.

Anyways, I did not descend from a Nigerian family who engaged in the enslaving of others neither was I on earth 500 years ago when slavery unfortunately occurred. So, I owe no one anything. We Africans have our own issues to worry about especially we who are Nigerians. Black Americans should go sort themselves out. Besides, most of them don't like Africans anyway and treat Africans with disdain when they meet us in America. So they can go and kick rocks!

No

flowerpower23:
From a moral standpoint though, are they not owed something?

Yes especially from the Leaders that Sold them

Yes I believe there is some credence to this argument. Are you Nigerian?

Why would Haitians be expected to pay for that? They were figting for their freedom. Thats like u coming to rob me and I beat you and now somehow I must pay you because I beat you up.

It's worth noting that the French did demand reparations from Haiti with the threat of invasion looming over them.

Do you think they were justified in doing that?
