If you're not being facetious here, I'll just say the premise is historically based on a lie and serves as only a political scheme to garner support. I'll have nothing to do with it. If anyone should receive reparations, it should be all those families that laid their lives down fighting for this republic. My family came here in 1636... And my family endured a lot of tragedy including death by being scalped by Wampanoag Indians during the King Phillip's War and more. They have fought in every American war. As far as I can find, my family lost more family members in the Revolutionary war than any other. Over 22-members died for this republic. Some of the heroism there is recorded locally, but not not nationally. We are not known or taught in schools or in the history books. We are humbled and prefer it this way. However, if anyone wants to talk about reparations, my forefather came here as a slave from Britain. This was not indentured servitude, which only consisted of 10% of slaves brought to America, but slavery as defined by the laws of the land. Prior to the 18th Century, the vast majority of slaves brought to the American colonies were not black, but white. Every aspect of it was as oppressive and real as the later black slaves that came to America. With my family history.... IMHO the reparation thing ought to be more applicable to me than all the politicians that like to throw coliseum bread to the peasants for garnering their votes.
