[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4911483, member: 24302"] But that was actually to people it happened to. Not a slave amongst us today. And what is wanted in reparations goes into the trillions. Are you going to punish the whites who never owned slaves? Who never treated a black unfairly? How about the descendants of whites who came here after slavery ended? Is just being white enough reason to hit people with a huge amount of extra taxes? What about blacks who clearly have white blood in them? Do they get reparations too? Can you prove that some black slave woman was raped by a white owner and it wasn't some interracial dalliance in the 1960's that made that person much lighter skinned? There are so many complications to this issue. Why not say that past welfare was essentially reparations? Why not say every effort made to level the playing field from work quotas to preferences in college admissions are reparations? This idea that every black in this country is owed hundreds of thousands if not more when they live in the world's most prosperous nation and have opportunities given them they'd never have in Africa is at its heart a power grab, nothing more. Courting black votes when they know it's unworkable. [/QUOTE]
