A scholastic endowment would be one of the most feasible gestures towards making reparations. Of course, not everyone would be in a position to take advantage of it, nor would all require it. My idea is that it is more productive to pursue school reform, community development, and the like, rather than worry about reparations per se. But there is some attraction to a grand gesture, I admit.....

<<I don't know, put a billion dollars in a trust fund and let them manage it.

I do know that everyone needs to move forward and quite frankly I am tired of hearing excuses for failure. This needs to be put to rest and be done with.>>

1) A "billion dollars" of WHOSE money?

2) What "failure", other than the constant din of left wing lies designed to inspire racial hatred among the less-well-educated blacks?

Everyone does, indeed, need "to move forward". But you are describing concepts that are emphatically moves BACKWARD...

How do you get agreement as to how much is enough? I have heard the question asked "How do we determine when affirmative action should be declared a success and ended?" I never hear an answer.
