But why stop here? Were any of your ancestors Jewish, Irish or Italian? If they were, you know they were discriminated against, you should be able to cash in too. Let's pay up and then all of America's sins will be magically washed away.

Anyone in favor of reparations for slavery has to not only ignore US history where over 600,000 soldiers died in a war to end slavery, they have to ignore World history where slavery existed long before slaves were ever brought to America and continued to exist after the US outlawed slavery. In the 1700's if you had a big boat and you wanted to go into the African slave trade, you went and bought slaves. Guess who you bought them from, right, you bought them from other Africans.
So if anyone owes black Americans anything because of slavery, it's the African slave countries where their ancestors came from.
Democrats, please don't go down this road. You will lose half of the voters who want to vote for you.
Ahh yes, who is ultimately responsible for Jim Crow is *reads your post* African slave countries.
