Certainly the "white race" has much to answer for.

I'm sorry but I don't beleive in this type of collective guilt. It's exactly this kind of thinking that has brought the reparations argument to the front. No, the 'white race' has nothing to answer for. Some white people do, however. Which, I think, is the point you were trying to make.

Quite true enough.

However, I believe it is also true that too many have looke the other way for too long--else BILLDO AND SHRILLERY would have been run out on a rail the first time they stuck their evil heads up for any election anywhere.

I believe there CAN be a KIND or TYPE of collective guilt and responsibility and that at some point God will administer justice accordingly.

I do NOT believe in reparations. That sounds like utter idiocy to me. If they want to follow that idiocy, let them try and get reparations from the descendants of the African chiefs who so eagerly sold their ancestors.
