I'm not descended from slaves either but I'm at least thinking about what black people went through in this country. Do you mean to tell me that people would get upset over a tax break more than black people did over slavery, Jim Crow and Segregation? I'm not descended from slaves either but I'm at least thinking about what black people went through in this country. Do you mean to tell me that people would get upset over a tax break more than black people did over slavery, Jim Crow and Segregation? Esp. since in this day and age there are more than even judical barriers to such a thing. Reparations will never happen but I'm not ashamed to look at history and alernative solutions.

Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back so hard.

What is your point, exactly? How many blacks today were slaves? How many whites were slaveowners? And how is reparations a conservative principle?

I'm not trying to pat myself on the back. Where did I say reparations was a conservative principle?
