....I am the g-grandson of 4 Confederate soldiers...I would agree to one time reparations in the form of say a voucher to go to college, voucher to start a small business, voucher to start a farm ect....no cash payments!....and in return...no EOC hiring...no set asides or carve outs...no preferential college admissions...no minority preference contracts ect...those are already ‘reparations’ and need to end.

We have already spent TRILLIONS of dollars in de facto reparations just since the LBJ administration, not to mention affirmative action, set-asides and all that jazz. And what was the stimulus? When is enough, enough?!
If the Soviet Union had imported slaves they’d still be slaves! Hell, you can say that about half of the countries in the world!!

I am the great-granddaughter of 2 union soldiers. I consider any "debt" paid in full.

Why is that? Did you or I have slaves and profit from them? No.
Did any blacks living today suffer under slavery? No.
I owe them zero. However, nothing is stopping you from handing over whatever you want to any black you see. Go for it.

If you pay out of your own personal finances – fine. Not me. Enough is enough. I'm sick of hearing this old beating drum. Obama's health care bill was back door reparations. Good grief.
