Recognition of a problem is often the first step, no? When you don't recognize something how can you work to solve the problem? That's where the apology comes in.
In Robinson's book (which I don't have on hand at the moment) outlines one of the many proposals. If anyone is geniunely interested in these issues I think they would encourage our government to make serious moves. There have been other instances in our country's history where groups have been given reparations, so why is this conversation so difficult to have when it comes to Black folks? Is it simply because the people who were actually enslaved have passed on??
And
madmax did make a reference to money out of pocket

You on the other hand probably want the rest of white America that had nothing to do with Rosewood pay reparations to the rest of Black America, who also had nothing to do with Rosewood.
