Actually, I think he could teach you a thing or two.

If I do a Google search for "Gelato", am I likely to find posts supporting reparations dating back before Keyes came up with his idea, or not? You appear to be trying to turn your world inside-out to justify Keyes' liberal idea. Is it worth it?
No one said you did.
The federal government egregiously failed to protect a whole race of people from the most unconscionable wrongs, and in fact condoned those wrongs, in contradiction to its founding principle.
It would seem fair for people who suffer the effects of such injustice to receive some form of restitution. American Japanese did under Reagan. American Indians have received some in the form of tax breaks and land on reservations (far from ideal conditions, I might add).

I'd never heard of a fair and feasible form of "reparations" until now. All other plans have been proposed by liberals and would never work.
Now I'm learning of Walter Williams' conservative idea. I think that is possibly a good one, too.
Since reparations is so offensive to you, does it lessen your opinion of Ronald Reagan knowing what he did?
