Conservatives believe in individual responsiblity, not collective guilt. Reparations doesn't necessarily represent collective guilt. As unspun mentioned above, consider our relationship to the American indians. We, as a society, have consigned them to lives of misery by our de facto policy of segregation. A debate regarding our government's treatment of the American indians is worth having.

There's no group presenting a grievance that you're not willing to open your wallet for.
Do it as charity. Please. Don't propose it as government policy.
