Question 2: "Some people feel that the federal government
should make payments, sometimes called reparations,
to the descendants of slaves to compensate them for
the injustices of slavery. Would you support or
oppose such payments?

Oppose: All 71%, White 88%, Black 28%

Question 3: If the federal government did pay
reparations for slavery, do you think the overall
impact on race relations in the United States would
be positive or negative?

Positive: All 14%, White 7%, Black 29%

Negative: All 67%, White 74%, Black 53%

Hmmm, why can't we all just get along??? Indeed!

"As I look about me now, I see evidence of slavery everywhere. Whites may not see it, but I see it," said Chestnut.

What do you suppose the numbers would be like if someone asked:

Should the U.S. Government give every person with an even social security number $10,000?

How many people with an even SSN would vote yes?
How many with an odd SSN would vote yes?

If the government did pay reparations for having an even SSN, what do you think this would do to relations between evens and odds?

If a majority of blacks think the effect on race relations would be negative, how can two thirds of them support a proposal that would worsen them? Something about the survey doesn't compute --- and reparations is political baggage that will end up distracting this country from the real important things that need to be done.
