Literally giving blacks more power than everyone else and creating an unequal society. Also reparations? Half of my family wasn't even in America until a few years before WW1 and the other half fought for the Union but those are my ancestor's accomplishment not mine. I haven't discriminated against any race so any "reparations" would be unjustified.
Such a thing would be unlawful too and I would refuse to pay up.
being a first generation american, i always bring this up when discussing race relations and so forth. my parents, my heritage, came from the poorest of poor in sothern Italy/sicily. im talking peasantry, like 9 kids in a 700sqft apartment, roaming the streets of naples for food/work. they came here with less than nothing, but made a great living through hard work, gave me "privledge" that they never had, because this great country gave them the opportunity to do so. my father went from sweeping floors to owning 40+ restaurants and businessses since coming here in the 70's. so i always ask, why on earth should i pay "repararations" for something my family has no history with? the moors held sicily for a time,maybe i should demand reparations from muslims?
