I'll second that. I'm sick and tired of the descendents of
the slaves demanding recompense (in whatever form) from the
descendents of the slave owners. Were you personally enslaved?
Were you personally a slave owner? I thought not. Remember the
past, yes, but get over it.


Are the descendents of the slaves demanding recompense from only the
descendents of the slave owners? I thought the reparations effort was
to gain compensation from the federal government, which would presumably
obtain it from general revenue. That would have all taxpayers paying
reparations, not just those that are descended from slave owners.

Which just makes it even more 'unfair'. Why should my tax monies
go to pay for something that I nor my ancestors are guilty of?
