Are you in favor of race-based reparations?

If there is ever to be any reparations, this would be a clever way to do it.

Although, I've favored giving 40 acres of federal land and a mule, with a rule that the land be held for at least 20 years.

And this wasn't race based; he said "the descendents of slaves."

And some sort of reparation for proven decendants of actual slaves has been something I have never really opposed, if there was a way to do it other than direct payments of cash.

I'm happy to see anybody get a tax break, myself.
