[quote="Short Hand":eb3c3] But in 1992 two survivors of the massacre filed a claim against the state of Florida, and in 1994 the legislature finally awarded survivors and descendants $2 million – the only known case of reparations to black Americans in U.S. history. [/quote:eb3c3]

I wonder if I can get reparations for Sherman burning down my great, great grandaddy's house? or for the 1000 acres the Reconstructionists stole from him? I'm sure that antebellum home would be worth alot today and that land now has alot of very expensive homes, etc on it.

Maybe we should pay the Cherokees since we took their land...of course then they would have to pay the Choctaw's, because the Cherokee's took it from them, And then the Choctaw's would have to pay the Creeks and the Creeks would have to pay the ...... oh heck, let's just take all the property in the US and liquidate it and divide it up so that every person has an equal share. Maybe that would finally get these communist bassfish to get off their high horse. ..... hmmm probably not. They'd just find something else to complain about. So in that case, let's just leave it the way it is.
