"Reparations"? Sh-t fire boy, we gave 'em to Je$$ie Jacka$$; go talk to him.

Reparations??? They've been rcving reparations for years through the United Negro College Fund, affirmative action, race quotas, welfare, preferencial treatment in state colleges, the NAACP, the ACLU, the likes off Jesse Jackson, the likes of Jonny Cochran....need I go on?

"....Some also argue there should be housing and health care, but not cash given, as a form of reparations...." Isn't the Government already providing housing & health care to those who are economically disadvantaged? What this really boils down to is an opportunity to get something for nothing. This whole situation is much like a spoiled child, the more you give them....the more they come to expect.

Actually Clarence Thomas is a wonderful example of how successful the civil rights movement has been. Just a few decades ago, no one would have ever dreamed of a black man on the Supreme Court. Thomas is also a great example of someone who attained his position on the basis of merit, which is something that people like Berry could benefit from emulating.
