I am opposed to reparations on several grounds.
1 - Will anyone stop complaining that they are a "victim" once they get the check?
2 - Who is next on the list for reparations? Native Americans, Hispanics, Asian-Americans, Scots Irish who were sent to America as indentured servants? I fall into the last category, so I probably won't get the full dollar amount. Where does it end?
3 - Will it change the past for the better?
4 - Besides trying to buy votes, what is the point?
America has made great progress in race relations in the last 60 years, yet many want to cling to the past. If America is so bad, why is it that many people, legally or illegally, want to come here as opposed going to Cuba, Venezuela, China, or Russia?
We can remain in the past or work together for a better today and tomorrow.
