> think such a plan is imminently fair to former slaves and their children, and will not overly tax the treasury of the nation.
It is not fair to us who did not commit those acts. You don’t jail someone else for a crime someone else commiitted. This is complete lunacy. You are thinking you are dealing with reasonable people who can be satisfied. You’re not. If you give them anything they will be back at the feeding trough again just like a stray dog if you feed them. Have some common sense man.
I don’t think you’ve read what the Vet is saying properly.
There ARE no former slaves still alive. There might possibly be a few of their children still alive, but if any it’s probably well under 100.
I agree with him. Let’s give each of them $1M and call it even.
Only bit of info I could find was one child of slaves claimed still alive in 2009. She’s probably dead by now.
