By Matt Margolis | June 13, 2005

I have a bad feeling that this is just a prologue to the reparations movement heating up again.

    I 100% support the right for former slaves to collect reparations from the people who held them, but aren’t they all dead anyway?

    It’s not just slaves. Lynchings happened well after the turn of the century.

    Understood charles, but my point is, I’m willing guess that a great majority of the Senators who did this apology had no connection whatsoever to the delay of passing anti-lynching bills. so i’m worried about the “sons paying for the sins of the father” syndrome.

    I would say you’re right Jay, but the problem is there are still groups who strongly believe they are owed reparations despite the generations separation between today and the era of slavery.

    Reparations are owed and it can be proven. People have just decided that no matter what is said, they’re not going to pay up. It’s all excuse-making and I think everybody ought to be honest and admit it.

    Cobb, as far as reparations are concerned, here’s what I have to say:

    Not one dime.

    Read Thomas Sowell’s latest book, you’ll see the light.
