Who should pay for black reparations? Why...blacks themselves, of course

http://www.nationalcenter.org/P21NVG...ations501.html

Choice quote:

"We, as black Americans, owe reparations for slavery. We must succeed so that our ancestors will not have died in vain. Their presence in this country has given us an opportunity unique in comparison to any other black community on the planet. There is no excuse for the things many of us have done to squander what those before us died to provide.

Illegitimacy and illiteracy are now the worst enemies of black America. There is no excuse for black leaders to ignore these problems while focusing on the irrelevant and mundane. Those of us who abandoned our children should be ashamed that we sentenced them to the hardships our ancestors hoped to eliminate with their sweat and blood."

The Government cannot legislate morality nor success for a whole class of people. If anything, it gets in the way.
