I would agree with reparations, if their provision would end all affirmative action, equal oppornity programs. 1. Such programs hurt more than help 2. It seems only fair to have one or the other.

Might as well put th end to the welfare state at the same time.

Good point. All those programs sound like reparations already made.

Add to that all welfare payments made in the past subtracted from reparations, and they might come out on the short end of the stick!

I wouldn't. Trading one evil for another is no solution. "Affirmative Action" and "Equal Opportunity" should be abolished on their own lack of merit. Adding another gross injustice to the mix will accomplish nothing.

It Won't. They would only come up with some way for more of us to pay. If the Blacks get this money, what other groups will want reparations also: Indians, Mexicans, etc.
