You don't want to defend everything written by gao seng and you expect that I might defend a hypothetical position of OBL?
Hypothetical, my a**. That's close to a quote. Actually I believe he said it was a duty of all Muslims to kill Americans anytime anwhere, wherever found.

At the same time, the effects of slavery did not end when slavery ended and those effects are still real.
Great! The effects of the Brit's oppression of the Irish and their neglect of them during the Potato Famine did not end when my ancestors left Ireland for the US.

You're over there. Tell the British gov't to send me a billion bucks and all is forgiven. Surely they would not want to continue to have to live with the shame of their actions (and inactions)?

Or should there be a statute of limitations on historical wrongs? Because every group has been wronged by some other group along the way. All we would be doing would be receiving money, then paying it right back again.

Those American blacks that were brought here? Do you REALLY believe they would be better off if they were now in Ethopia or Uganda? You know, they just might have gotten some compensating benefits.

And as far as I'm concerned, they can have their reparations when they take them from my cold dead fingers. And I won't go quietly.
