Very true, but on to a different veiwpoint. I believe in reparations, but not the kind that some african-americans are asking for. I dont remeber where I read this but I heard they(reparationists) want 8 trillion dollars from the US gov. They want this money to be paid to every african american in america. I think that asking for this amount of money to be mailed as a check to people is outragous. I watched a little bit of the reparations rally in D.C. on tv, and I was a little disapointed. It was the part where they had musicians and singers performing songs. The musicians performing were singing/rapping about "show me the money", "let me get my check". To me, it looked like they were more interested in getting that check than true equality. I do believe that money should be funneled into education/health/social services, but not personal paychecks for being black. I am very sorry if I have offended anybody, but this is how I feel.
