| Sorry to disappoint you Leopard, but if the U.S. government promised 2 acres and a mule 100 years ago and never paid, then it is not "immoral" for the descendants of those people jilted by that promise to ask for what would have been their birth-right. Besides, the government is immutable, and that is who would be sued, not every "white" taxpayer, but every taxpayer. I keep hearing why should "we" pay for something that happened before "we" were born...and by "we" I presume you to mean "whites"...but it is the government that is being asked to pay for the previous sins of the government.
In any case, the "need" for reparations will diminish from generation to generation as the will to collect what was promised is replaced by upward social mobility. |
