137 Augustus Goddard atlanta It is essential to realize that the claim for reparations - as were the kamikaze attacks on US ships at the end of WWI - is a foolish act of desperation. The claim is a sign that segments of the black community realize they are losing political power. They know it and they resent it. And they know its the last chance they will have "to lay a guilt trip" on white America.

151 Anthony Fucsik Hesperia, California If any slaves that were once owned are alive today then I would agree to pay. but, A hand out is not the answer to the Black Communities ills, to identify the root of the problems in the black community they only need to look in the mirror.
