reparations more then anything else is symbolic.
this country being as racist as it is needs to do some type of reperations with heavy symbolic statements and a strong statement of apology and acknowledgment...same for native americans.
germany did it.
it is not a joke.
I'm sorry, dino, but no.
My family came to the US in the early 20s as peasants from the old country. Generations then lived in the absolute lowest income and societal levels of this country. I was the first to successfully go beyond high school, which half of my family never graduated...and I'm not that old.
I'll be damned if I'm going to be a part of some symbolic act for the sins of others.
i am an american citizen...as such i inherit american history....without personal credit or blame.
the united states is a living republic and its history is part of its life.....
there is no statute of limitations for the republic to say it is sorry and make reparations.
you are not personally responsible so dont worry.
