"Robinson, author of the 1999 book "The Debt: What America Owes to Blacks," has estimated that a rough figure would be more than $30 billion."

Well I figure that for $30 billion, we could buy first-class one-way airline tickets for all of them to fly to Africa.

Calculation: U.S. population about 240 million. Blacks about 17% of population, or 41 million. First-class one-way tickets at $730 each.

A great bargain.

Sorry - you can cancel tickets for me and my family. We won't be going anywhere.

I've never been to Africa - I have no desire to live in Africa - I wasn't born in Africa.

I was born and raised in Indiana, as was my wife. My parents were born in the US, as were my in-laws. I'm an American, period.

In addition, I have no desire to reap anybody's "lottery windfall" in the form of reparations. The notion is madness, and the idiots that are continuing to perpetrate this will be responsible for an even greater downfall of black America as time goes on.
