My families did own slaves; lots of them. I didnt kniw this until my wife traced our family roots and i saw the wills where slaves were given to the heirs and sold or traded for many generations. I had always wondered why my father and grandfather despised blacks and then I realized it was learned behavior handed down through many generations. Its not something i’m proud of but it is what it is. Those were different times.
Well, I guess then it is YOU who owe the reparations. Please give your check to the first black person you see. :)
If that is not true then it proves the point that the voting rights monitoring by the federal government has out lived it's purpose and is no longer necessary.
