It's an issue that really hits home with southerners because so many have slaves in their family history. Buck up and admit it was wrong so we can move along. Reparations? why not. It won't cost anywhere NEAR what Trump is closing down our entire government for, to give to Oligarchs who are already richer than they need to be. What do you think the entire city of Tulsa was worth before the whole thing was burned to the ground based on a lie? What do you think being able to buy a house in a nicer neighborhood if you could afford it would have been worth in resale value? Let's stop pretending this nation didn't do anything improper to a whole people just for some to make themselves feel superior. We can't keep living with hate, it only leads to self-destruction. Ask Adolf Hitler.
