IMO, this fall into the category of 'factually correct, but functionally pointless'. As if somehow a cash transaction can undo history. Besides, which would be the more pressing payment, Blacks or Native Americans?

Just wait until all the illegal immigrant children are in our high schools. It will be all about the white man stealing land from Mexico and reparations.

Are Irish allowed to apply?

Can we not do this one today? Wait for a slow day or something?

I'm all for reparations. Find me an ex-slave and throw the Brinks truck at him/her.

Meantime, I don't owe anyone anything for something somebody else did to somebody else.

That's not a very nice position for you to take...

Obama would not be eligible.

When does Obama pay us reparations for being enslaved to his system?

Already been paid back with blood and money defending freedom. All Americans benefited Their sacrifice. All are Equal. Anything else is fiction created by Hucksters and pimps looking for a handout.

I got halfway down and had to stop. Yes the stories are sad and it represents a time in america that has come and gone. I think the first thing that needs to be done is rebuild the family. to many fatherless kids running around wrecking havoc.

Sure he is. His "white" half can pay his "black half".

I feel the same way about Israel.

Slavery was the 19th century's internship position. Look at all the on-the-job training the slaves got in agribusiness; for free. So who should owe who?

I don't want to hear it. He moved above the Mason-Dixon Line by his own choosing. He suffered more in the "Land of Lincoln" than any where else. How Ironic!!!

He has access to the money printing machine....Put his picture on both sides and stick it on the largest-amount bill.....then he can run off as much as his sweet little heart desires to repair any damages from the past (or future for that matter)

If the left cared about the black community as a whole they'd drop their support for the institutions that keep their schools so bad and work to empower parents in educating and raising their kids. The black community is poor because it is relatively uneducated. Real reparations, or something meant to even the playing field a bit, start and end there.

No education no future

Choices....life and individual lives are about the choices one makes.
