I cant remember off the top of my head. Im pretty sure there are some but I cant be assed to go and get the info again. Considering that even if they did benefit from slavery you still dont think they should do anything its not worth my while getting the info.

Actually yeah it is. cheap labor means the same products produced at lower cost.. hence more money. Rich people don't care who they exploit.
Right so it has NOTHING to do with race.

"Sounds like I should get compensation. And my kids, and their kids, and their kids after that. and so on and so forth. Free money for me and my family for the rest of eternity, even though I wasn't driven out of missouri nor was I killed back then.
The government can pay the tab. But hey since you're a taxpayer, its really your money. nim
Unless you're a tax dodger, which is a federal felony.
If you're still suffering from what happened and they are still benefiting, yeah you should. What happened to American Indians and Black people was a 100 times worse.
