Did I say that? No. I didn't treat native Americans poorly for hundreds of years. I didn't treat African Americans poorly through out this country's history. Not even my ancestors treated them poorly. The problem with even thinking about reparations is very complex.
Who will pay the reparations?
Who will get the reparations?
How much will they be?
How do you prove that you were wronged?
Why should I have to pay for the crimes committed by others long before I was born? Why don't you go through your own family tree and payback anyone that has been done wrong by a family member of yours. When you've done that then you can start talking.
Should illegal immigrants from Mexico get reparations for the low wages or mistreatment by human smugglers that has gone on for so long?
Should the people who had their land taken during the Civil War recieve payments?
I have never argued that native Americans and African American slaves weren't mistreated, or they shouldn't recieve recognition of those actions. But the argument for reparations is like the table with one short leg.
