What finally tipped the balance for me is the BIOLOGICAL argument. It's widely documented that the average black IQ is lower than whites. Much of the explanation for this has been sociological (worse schools, security issues, black children who excel being labelled as "acting white", etc). Perhaps the reason is a statistical skewing of the black genetic pool towards physical traits (big bones, athleticism, etc) rather than intellectual traits.
This is caused by the FUCKED UP antebellum American practice of SLAVE BREEDING: http://www.africana.com/research/bla...30210breed.asp

These plantation owners would pick their big "buck" slaves to breed with equally big black women so as to produce "ideal" slave workers. Imagine the effect this widespread practice had on the African-American gene pool.
I used to think reparations was an empty gesture. But after reading up on slavebreeding and the assault on black families, I have become rather convinced that this is the right way to go.

you've just now learned that slaves were bred? as much as I disagree with slavery, i also disagree with "reparations" to them for being enslaved, blacks arent the only race to have been enslaved, but yet they seem to be the ones who feel everyone owes them something. I grew up in a predominantly black area, and live in the same type of area now and it amazes me that a lot of black people feel I personally owe them something because someone they never even met was enslaved by someone who has the same skin color as me 300 years ago
Fact of the matter is
a: noone alive today owned/owns a slave
b: noone alive today IS/WAS a slave
c: you're welcome for bringing you from your shitty little mudhuts to a nation your people can now prosper and thrive in, if you're not happy we can send you back to africa and you can live in the desert and let flies land on your eyeballs
d: want reparations? get them from the BLACK MAN who sold you to the white man
everyone wants to point the finger of blame at the white man, your OWN people sold you out, god forbid you get pissed at them, just blame whitey, it's all our fault
