First, Why should a black person be rewarded for something their ancestors had to endure 150 years ago. Bill O'Reilly had guest on his show arguing that great great gradchildren of former slaves suffer from post tramatic slavery disorder, sounds made up to me, but was arguing that because of the mental anguish that they suffer from should be rewarded. Who gets paid, how do we track down the every ancestor of former slaves and seperate them from others who immigrated here after slavery?

Second, My great grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from Ireland in the late 19th century. Why should i be held accountable for what former slaves had to endure when neither me nor any of my ancestors had any part in slavery or the slave trade. Do we have to track down ancestors of of slave owners too? Why should white Americans only be held accountable, when blacks in Africa sold them into slavery, and slave traders from other countries had a part to play, especially the Portuguese?
