Why should I pay you? It wasn't your house that was burned or your slaves that were freed. You personally suffered no harm at all from a property stand point. Not a dime out of pocket. Where do you deserve reparations?
If the southern reparations movement has a specific defendant then go collect from the Union army. Did up Sherman and Grant and take them to court. Take what you get from them and give it to every single living southerner who personally suffered material damages from the actions of the Union army. You know, the same kind of offer made on all these black reparations posts. Until you can agree to that then DiLusional's reparations cause is just as phony and just as bogus as N'Cobra's. And until you can show a better reason than N'Cobra can I'll have to assume you support their cause, too.
LOL!! Good Lord man!! I was just joking with you (well partially). However if you want to get technical, slave trade could be said to only be condoned by the US government, not a direct action of the US government, as the illegal attack on women, children, and property was by the union army. They were working directly for the US government. I say we call it square. I don't want anyone's money, and heck the LAST place I would want it from is the government of these United States. That would in effect continue the crutch of burden that Hamilton and Clay called for, and lincoln instituted.
