Question:

My wife's family came to America in the early 1900's. After slavery was abolished. How much does she have to pay and why is she liable for reparations?

My mother's side of the family also cam to America in the early 1900's, and my father's side traces back to Braintree, Mass. I have never found any record that anyone in my family was a slave owner or lived in the south for that matter. How much do I have to pay and why am I liable?

There are quite a few African-Americans who came to this country after slavery was abolished. How much do they get and why are they entitled to it?

So many questions.

Because you're white, and the assumption is you already have enough money. Since when, anymore, does logic or fairness factor into the National debate?
