Since the left has repeatedly claimed that the Civil War was fought to abolish slavery, I think it's high-time that the descendants of those blacks held in slavery and then freed as a result of the war, should pay the government back for the cost of the war. As well, they should pay reparations to all the descendants of the soldiers (black & white) who lost their lives attempting to achieve that freedom for them.

Afro-centrists claim that the highly accomplished and civilized Egyptians were black. Hey, that means my ancestors were enslaved for hundreds of years by blacks. Does that mean that black people owe me reparations?
