it doesn't even begin to make up for went on for 200 years Why not just make us (you and me) be slaves for a while? You think that would be adequate compensation? The reality is those slaves were abused and there is nothing you or I can do about it. Period. They're dead.

The people who where slaves are dead, as our the people who kept them in slavery, their children are at least mostly dead as well. They can not be helped, so you want to hurt people that look a little bit like the slave owners to help other people that look a little bit like the slaves. There is no justice in that. For that matter the decendents of slaves in the US are better off overall then if their ancestors had never been brought over to the "new world" as slaves. Look at most of Africa. How many black Americans would want to be part of that mess? Tim
