Let me hit you with this one - what about the blacks who lived under Dixie apartheid up through 1964, and are alive today? Are they entitled to reparations, considering that many perpetrators and beneficiaries of that system are still living today?

Sure! See Reply 11 to figure out who they should sue.
Start with the highest ranking former Klansman currently employed by our government, Grand Kleagle Byrd, and work your way down from there.

Blacks that came to the Colonies won the lottery. The 5% of the Slaves that arrived in the Colonies were more fortunate than the other 95% that arrived in Brazil, Cuba, Haiti,Nothern S.A., etc.

Repations are pure Socialism. Ask the Democrats--Who is going to pay for reparations the Government. I am the Government. Industry, my prices will rise. The American People will pay as always.

Backlash-you aint seen nothing yet.

A few points:

How would they put a value on the rigors of segregation?

Would only the Southern States have to pay?

What about Southerners who moved from the South, would they have to pay?

What about Southerners who didn't support segregation?
