I don't believe in "reparations".
I find it hard to believe Keyes is being acurately cited here.
Thousands of thousands of white boys paid "reparations at places like Antietem, Gettysburg, etc for the price of physical slavery.
Thousands of thousands more were unfairly penalized by "affirmative action" in the later 20th century and into the present.
Enough of "reparations". No black living today in America was a slave, nor were his parents, or, in all likelihood his grandparents. Today the average black has as much opportuinity to succeed as the average white in achieving the American dream if only he or she struggles like everyone else to achieve it.
Every ethnic group which arrived here was subject to some kind of persecution, either here or where they came from.
Thanks for your comments... Sigh... at least now he's got a platform for talking about removing the IRS tyranny for all....
