Nope...It's been talked about here, and it's the stupidest idea ever...Why should we pay out of our pockets for something we had nothing to do with....If we did, guess what other groups would also come forward...it would be a never ending payment out for things that happened in history.....Yeah, it wasn't me, nor my parents, nor my grand parents that owned slaves...Infact there is Indian blood in my family...Hmmmm payment??????.....And some of my relatives lived at the time of Mussolini....Should we also pay the groups that were murdered?.....I vote no.....Besides Africans were also slaves of other Africans even before.

It's really not. But, it's more than they had at that time. It's like self-sufficent welfare.
True, but I guess it adds up....would have been a good idea back then....and would have put an end to that arguement...I mean both sides actually have a point nowqadays...back then the Blacks just were right......
