Actually I believe reparations are appropriate. We should pass a law that requires every living person who has owned a slave at any point in their life, pay reparations to the slaves that they have owned.

Then Jackson is in the wrong country (again) and needs to travel to the Middle East and Africa, where slavery continues to thrive.

I’d say that the 600,000 dead from 1861 thru 1865 was more than enough in reparations.
