Gimme a Break
I'm curious to see how all of this will play out in the Court System. Personally, I have no desire to get reparations... profitting financially from my ancestors blood, sweat and tears sickens me.
Besides, African-Americans contribute about $400 million in *consumer* spending with their own money.... I cannot imagine what we would do with those paychecks. They would be a temporary fix at best.
All the problems that exist now, will continue to plague us... it will take more than reparations to undo centuries of social and economic oppression.
Oh..another thought... what about all the *white* people who descended from slaves.. their great-great great grandmother or grandfather, something like that... legally they may also make a case. This could turn into one big mess.
