Henry Hyde on Reparations
Who he is: US Representative for Illinois
Official stand: Against
Details:
The only statement I've been able to find from Hyde is the below quote.
Quotes:
- "The notion of collective guilt for what people did years ago,
that this generation should pay a debt for that generation, is an idea whose
time has gone. I never owned a slave. I never oppressed anybody. I don't
know that I should have to pay for someone who did generations
before I was born."
