As to reparations, I am totally against it. The entire concept is political pandering. I’d be hard-pressed to support even $1 per person in reparations.

Actually, reparations might not be such a bad idea, with conditions.

- Anyone who accepts reparations, gets them (guaranteed!).
- Everyone who gets them, renounces US citizenship, ineligible for life to re-apply.
- Everyone gets a paid-for one-way flight to the African (or other ancestral country 'he' was enslaved from) country of his choice.
- Funding is available for 40 rural acres, or an average size suburban/city house, paid directly to the seller from the US Treasury/Embassy, at market rate.

I’m starting to understand that poster I read that said:

We should have picked our own cotton.
