Thanks Sunni for the idea (sorta) re: 40 acres and a mule.
For.
We kidnapped them, enslaved them, should pay backwages. Fair's fair.
I'd say that the vast majority of "them" have long passed away; therefore, there really isn't anyone to pay "back-wages" to. I'd say that a statute of limitations also comes into play at this point.
My earliest ancestor to have step foot on American soil arrived as a white slave. If we DO decide to pay back-wages then I shall put my name in the hat and since he arrived in the mid 1600s I get first dibs on all of that cashola. I could certainly use a new pick up.
