What do others think about blacks wanting money for slavery?
It appears lawmakers are willing to pass a bill apologizing for slavery, but the black leaders want money. They are fighting hard against a disclaimer which simply states descendants of slaves can't sue or collect money from the federal government. Even Obama is against this, and believes making inner city schools better should be enough. Do people really believe blacks should get money for something that happened to their great great grandfathers? Can I sue Germany for shooting my grandfather during WW2? Can Jews sue for the holocaust? Wars and the Holocaust were a lot worse than slavery.

What I know for certain is this,if any reparations bill was ever passed,it would be the biggest detriment to race relations in the history of this country.Millions of "evil white people" like myself have no family history involving slavery whatsoever,my family wasn't even here.Tell those millions that after paying more taxes for bailouts,more taxes for other people's health care,more taxes for cap and trade,that suddenly they also get to pay more taxes for reparations,and you will damage race relations for generations to come.
