OK, so here's my plan for slavery reparations. Every Senator and congressman gives up 40% of their salary to cover whatever they decide is fair for reparations....AND they are not allowed to even consider raising their pay until AFTER those reparations are paid off. Deal?
Having traced my family tree back to the early 1800's I know that about a dozen family members died fighting for the North in the civil war. It seems to me that every black person in this country alive or dead owes my family a percentage of their gross yearly income for their freedom which was paid for with the blood of my ancestors. Freeing the blacks was not free or easy. Hundreds of thousands of Americans died so that slavery would end. My family never owned a slave but many of them died gaining their freedom. If this scam works for the blacks then it has to work for the families of the white folks who died to free them.
