This is a baffling one. Why does a certain group of people feel they need hundreds of thousands of dollars from white people?

If you haven't guessed this is about reparations. I dont understand it. There isn't a single white persona alive today who had any connection to slavery. For example my own family came to the US from Italy in 1919. My great grandmother and Great grandfather went to Ellis island like many millions did over the years. And yet they would want reparations from my family as well. Some have suggested that every white person should be forced to pay every black person a sum of $350,000 as reparations..

The way i see it, Unless you went out and worked for it you aren't entitled to it, Period. Regardless of skin color. If such a person wishes compensation they need to go after the Africans that sold their ancestors into slavery, Not people who had absolutely ZERO to do with it. This idea of looking for a hand out for something that was over and done with over 150 years ago is idiotic at best.
