This builds character. The issue of reparations stems from the experience african slaves endured during the Civil War. Many were separated from their families, or worse, killed or maimed. It was a terrible time our country went through. Yes, they were treated as slaves.
Lets face it.
People are people. Advances in technology have moved faster than people's acceptance of one another. Some will call it 'free money'. I recently had the opportunity to see another C-Span broadcast where Maxine Waters, and other black representatives such as Rev. Jessie Jackson, spoke about 'the state of Black America today'. Using statistics and other media to argue their points of view, Waters spoke on the issue on reparations.
