I have no problem with the past 30 years. However its the first couple of hundred that i am talking about. How do you not see that? I didn't see any reference by Buchanan to the first couple hundred years. I would point out, however, that none of us on this thread was around 100 years ago, and I'm not sure how long you think we should continue giving up OUR rights and OUR money to try and compensate people, NOT because they were slaves, but because their great-great-great grandparents were. At some point, you have say, "Hey, it is time to call it even". It is time for us to be color blind. I understand that blacks have, in the past, been wronged. But I didn't do it. You didn't do it. Nobody on this thread did it [presumably]. I'm tired of being blamed for what I have not done, and under-appreciated for what I HAVE done. I think that is all Buchanan was saying. I have never engaged in owning slaves. As far as I'm aware, no relative of mine ever did, and if one did, it is so far back I wouldn't even know who it was. It is time to get over it and remember the civil rights of Nicole Simpson, remember what blacks did in Detroit and Watts and Baltimore and all over the country, and call it even.
