My grandfather was a sharecropper in Mississippi.

He eventually came to own 77+ acres of prime bottom land.

There is no excuse for ‘reparations’. It is simply another Democrat money grab, using poor blacks as their pawns..............

I hear you. My ancestors were exploited in God forsaken coal camps in Appalachia. If we open this door, does everyone who had ancestors who were exploited in some way, get reparations for the sins of the past?? How far does this go??

I’ve heard talk that we should also do reparations for American Indians. If the reparations for slavery thing happens, isn’t it inevitable that reparations for every conceivable wrong from the past will be on the table??? Do we really want to go there??
