There's a poll on Netscape asking if decendants of slaves deserve reparations.

Right now, the vote is 89% against and 11% for.

Seeing that blacks make up 9% of the vote, what group adds the other 2%?

I've got to know!

THE MEDIA.......

[Dakmar]

Liberal Congresscritters who would exempt themselves from paying.

I am of Italian descent, and I want reparations from the Visigoths that raided Italy and took one of my ancestors as a slave. We must unite.

Trial lawyers and democrat politicians.

Absolutely, and how about being curfewed in their homes, business being destroyed during WWII. Where are those reparations. I also want reparations because my g-g-g-g grandfather was conscripted into the Union Army at 14. That effected him his whole life, which we know changes generations to follow. What about 20 years of involuntary servitude after getting to America to pay for passage. What about what about...ok this could go on and on. In addition are the"slaves" going to pay back the US for the six trillions dollars of welfare aid before they are paid?

[stanz]

Yes, me, too. Let's unite in face of wanton ancestor rape and pillage.

Oh yeah? Well I'm a redhead, and I heard last year that redheads may carry a latent genetic imprint from the vanished Neanderthals. Your so-called Homo Sapiens committed genocide against my ancestors. I demand reparations!

Oh wait--I'm part Homo Sapiens after all. I guess I'll just write myself a check.

[JBBooks]

Idiots?

[cicero's_son]

You beat me to it!

[lsee]

what group adds the other 2%?

Liberals of other races...

I keep hearing about "300" years of slavery. England own the country for more than 200 of those years. So why arn't black suing England?

[jlogajan]

My grandpappy came from Rumania around the turn of the century. Never owned slaves himself, had no ancestors that owned em. Hope I don't have to cough up "mo money" for the chronic welfare crowd.

[stuartcr]

And put in a little something for the kids, too.

[Slyfox]

Blacks were originally sold into slavery by other black tribes who then sold them to white traders.
Are they also going to go after those black middlemen?

[cicero's_son]

Romania, eh? Wasn't that formerly "occupied territory" under Roman rule? You can sue the Italians...or better yet, the Vatican.
