There's tons of moral arguments re why black americans should be given reparations for slavery. And there's tons of arguments against it as well.
What finally tipped the balance for me is the BIOLOGICAL argument. It's widely documented that the average black IQ is lower than whites. Much of the explanation for this has been sociological (worse schools, security issues, black children who excel being labelled as "acting white", etc). Perhaps the reason is a statistical skewing of the black genetic pool towards physical traits (big bones, athleticism, etc) rather than intellectual traits.
This is caused by the FUCKED UP antebellum American practice of SLAVE BREEDING: http://www.africana.com/research/bla...30210breed.asp

These plantation owners would pick their big "buck" slaves to breed with equally big black women so as to produce "ideal" slave workers. Imagine the effect this widespread practice had on the African-American gene pool.
I used to think reparations was an empty gesture. But after reading up on slavebreeding and the assault on black families, I have become rather convinced that this is the right way to go.
