Probably won't happen...because it would open the door wider on the reparations debate.
If they paid one group of people for crimes committed against them generations ago, then they should have to pay ALL groups that had crimes committed against them, right?
But somehow people can apologize for taking people's land and forcing them on reservations, but we can't apologize for enslaving millions of people for hundreds of years because "I'm not responsible for the mistakes of my ancestors".
