Reparations?
England use to round up what they termed "street urchins" (poor kids, homeless kids, kids that ran the streets) and sold them into slavery to tobacco farmers in Virginia. White kids sold into slavery. If we have to pay reparations to descendants of the black slave trade, why not to the descendants of the white slave trade? They were slaves, and not treated like members of any family.
I asked this because when we think of the slave trade, we automatically think exclusively of the African slave trade. We don't think of little white kids being sold out of England. And from something I heard said: that it didn't matter if your family didn't own slaves; if your white you owe.

I just keep wondering how my tax dollars and my people tax dollars over all the years in America contributed to Zion without our knowledge or permission.....🤔
Instead of our communities.
Why is that?

You IDIOT! Seriously, you're so stupid you don't even realize. Next time actually spend 20 seconds googling what you ASSUME TO BE TRUE BUT NEVER CHECKED. Reparations go to ANY AMERICAN who is a descendant of slaves, that includes white people who are descendants of slaves as well as black people.You know how arrogant and stupid it is of you to just assume you know about reparations without ever listening to the people asking for them.
