You Will Soon Be Financially Responsible For Compensating Blacks For Slavery A recent article from liberal site Slate.com is demanding that the government pay reparations to the ancestors of slaves to make up for the injustices their families suffered. The articles also claim that the government has created a formula based on the disenfranchisement of blacks throughout the 20th century. The article is based on the idea of white supremacy, which it deems a force so fundamental to America that it is difficult to imagine the country without it. The article does little to recognize the strides the country has made in the last few decades to create an atmosphere that allows for equal rights of all decades. Instead, it claims, the case for reparations, in short, is straightforward. As a matter of public policy, America stole wealth from black people, denied them a shot at prosperity, and deprived them of equal citizenship. So what about those of us whos ancestors never owned slaves? Well, the article has a bold answer for that as well, stating that even if your Irish immigrant grandparents never owned slaves, or even lived around black people, they still reaped the fruits of state-sanctionedand state-directedtheft, through cheap loans, cheap education, and an unequal playing field. What do you think of ask?
