Xeon Nice try but the analogy will not work. It's like comparing apples and refrigerators. There is no logical nor intelligent argument for reparations -only an emotional one rooted in bombast, politics for racial grievance and fantasy. I understand this is an affront to your race pride and a sincere belief of the absurd. I got that. But trust me my friend -it's simply not going to happen! Well if you won't listen to me, listen to Dr Martin Luther 'da King's arguement as to why we need reparations: This man was a highly educated borderline genius and world renowned social reformer. Are you telling me YOUR argument against the idea of us getting reparations is more powerful than HIS argument for it? Are you telling me that when Dr King made his case for demanding from Washington what America owes us he was doing nothing more than entertaining an absurd fantasy?

Perhaps the first Africans who were brought overhere would most appropiately be called "enslaved" because they were taken from a free state of being and put under the yoke of bondage. However an argument could be made that those BORN in slavery weren't actually EN-SLAVED....they were born in bondage.
