I wonder how Ward Churchill would like this idea. Since many black activists have been agitating for reparations, I say we embrace the reparations idea. Keeping in mind that reparations has the word "repair" as it's root, lets repair the problem and send those back to Africa who wish to go. Likewise, since the left feels that reparations for misdeeds of over a hundred years ago should be accounted for now, then whites should sue native Americans for reparations for all the deaths and medical expenses that result from the use of tobacco, which natives introduced to white men. The results of tobacco addiction has cost FAR more lives than all of the diseases and bullets that killed natives... and does so right up to the present day.

Personally, being 1/4 native, I think I will make out pretty good, since maybe for every dollar I have to pay in reparations as a native, my white 3/4 will get 3?

Funny thing about the tobacco is that Phillip Morris donates to the ACLU, so they'd probably make money on the case where the whites sue the natives. The ACLU would defend the natives, and the money would be going around in all kinds of circles.
