but I am paying the price of slave owners.

No, you're not.

How is he not.  With Restitution demanded by blacks and blacks citing slavery as the cause behind their mainstream intelectual shortfallings, we are paying the price.

Key word: demanded.  It's not going to happen.  Are white people like us actually paying for any sort of reparations?  No, and we never will.  And they don't cite slavery as the cause behind their poverty (not "intellectual shortfallings", which is simply a racist thing to say), but rather segregation and Jim Crow.  Which, granted, cannot and should not be solved with affirmative action, which I agree is racist and stupid.  But we're not paying a price, we're not being discriminated against, and we don't have it worse off than the blacks.  The sooner we stop playing victim, the quicker we can actually get down to solving the problems with racism that exist.

They HAVE demanded them.

I acknowledged as much, and countered with the fact that demand does not necessarily meet approval.  Be honest, are we ever going to pay reparations to descendants to slaves?  Of course not.  So their demands don't amount to anything.

and intellectually, on AVERAGE, blacks aren't as smart as whites

Is that because they're inherently inferior or because they're stuck in an economic system that de-emphasizes education, a system that came about due to the segregation and Jim Crow laws of the past?

With some of our courts, I wouldn't be surprised.

A court cannot just order taxpayer dollars to go towards the redistribution of wealth to descendants of slaves.  Surely, as I am not a descendant of slave-owners, I should not be paying for reparations, but neither should a descendant of slave-owners, for he is not responsible for any form of slavery.

And until your unlikely hypothetical happens, we aren't paying a price.  Face it, white people in general have it better off.

It's because they're lazy and wait for whites and welfare programs to fix everything for them.

I don't really think this dignifies a response.

You don't think there are some judges out there who would try if they had the opportunity?

The courts have issued outrageous rulings and seriously overstepped their bounds.  I wouldn't rule this out at all.

Nobody in a position of power supports slavery reparations.  If, somehow, any sort of judge imposed a reparations program on the country, it would get struck down by a higher court.

Besides, Inks and I are just discussing DownWifDuhLeft's claim that he is paying the price of an ex-slave owner.  Until slavery reparations arrive, which all hinges on your ridiculous hypothetical, we're not paying a "price."
