Tillman and other reparations activists rightly argue that America was built on the backs of black slaves.

What a crock - Name one bridge, building, mine, factory, industry or invention that was built on the backs of slaves. They were used mostly in agriculture and partly because it was alot cheaper if an Irish mic fell off a bridge to his death than if a slave you own died on "the job".

Walter williams has said it. Reparations? they should pay us. If their ancestors hadn't been brought here they'd be living in Africa. Enough said.
