Pay back the black man?

I am white. I assume that I will be the party responsible for paying the "black man?" Regardless that neither I nor anyone today was alive during the time period in which slavery was legal?

Yes, African Americans are often economically disadvantaged because of history. Taking money from people just because they were born into the race that once enslaved Africans and giving it to blacks is not a reasonable way to deal with it.

By this arguement, the British owe us a great deal of tax money taken before the Revolution, which is a bit absurd.

By the way. Tea LEAVES. They did not have those little Lipton packets back then. Leaves.
