I guess that I would support reparations if we took the money from the places where the slaves were bought, and paid them to the nations where the slaves were shipped.
That way all Americans, of all heritage (Natives, African, Asian, and European) benefit from penalizing the African nations who benefited by sending their kinsmen into bondage.
The african tribes that captured slaves, controlled the trade still exist in west africa. They are the ones running the museums commemorating the trade that made their ancestors powerful and wealthy.
BUT!!!Do not forget that the other place to go for reparations is the democrat party of the United States. They are the party of slavery, Jim Crow and the party that voted in a majority against the Civil Rights Act of 65. Some of my ancestors already paid the price by fighting for the union to free the slaves and reunite the states. My other ancestors came later from Switzerland and Germany and played no part in slavery. The only extant entity still around that bears any responsibility for slavery in this country is the democRAT party.
Go whine to demented Howard Dean for your reparations, and please DO hold your breath while waiting.
