I don't believe in slavery reparations, but those who lived in segregated times and are still alive should get some of their tax money back because they where not allowed to use the same social services, didn't get the same protection from police, schools, and usage of hospitals that their white counterparts received.

Then should I be allowed to sue black Americans because my greatgrand father was killed by one, or my sister was held at gun point while her car was stolen, or a sister in law was mugged by a black man, or another had her house robbed by a black? I also have a former business partner who took me for a bunch who's black.

But you know what? I just look at them as low life's and don't hold it against people who did nothing to me. Nor do I want to sue the French for driving part of my family out for religious reasons, or the English who drove us from Canada, or the Brits who attacked my Highland ancestors ... this talk will divide this country even more, and I assure you people are growing sick of it. It's like saying since most of our troops killed in WWI and WWII were white, that black Americans owe us something. Crazy talk.

Lets see where do I start with this post. Oh yeah the legal side. You see those crime committed against your family weren't sponsored by the governing bodies we call the local, state and federal governments. Jim Crow and other segregation rules up until the 60's where sponsored by the aforementioned. Please, Please, Please get your facts straight. Do you get it now, I bet you don't because you only want to see one side of this argument. You are probably one of those southern-Dems who only became Republican over pseudo-social reasons. Hence the problem of having this Democrap spending in Washington.
