You libs want fairness? Fine, then your legislators should simply require that any descendants of an American slave owner are responsible to repay the descendants of actual slaves any amount of reparations they decide will be made in a one-time payment providing the gravy train is closed forever for those demanding more.
Additionally, those emigrating to this country after the Emancipation Proclamation have done nothing to apologize for, as many fled persecution against THEIR race from their country of origin that may have been just as harshly treated as any slave ever was. Many other races such as Irish, Italians, Germans, Armenians, Chinese, and Japanese all ALSO suffered from extreme prejudice and discrimination within this country when THEY arrived.
Does this include the Black slave owners?
"Philip Burnham, in the article "Selling Poor Steven" published in the February/March 1993 issue of
American Heritage, found that in the US Census of 1830 there were 3,775 free blacks who owned 12,740 black slaves.
[32] Burnham wrote about the slave John Casor, who was denied his freedom by Black slave owner Anthony Johnson."
