    People say "yes the government should pay" to me all the time. What they forget is that by the government paying, the taxpayer is paying. I don't owe anyone reparations. I never owned slaves, my parents didn't, and their parents didnt. In fact, my great grandparents didnt either. Everyone that was a slave (by slave, i mean in the pre-civil war sense. I get Nevets point, and that still happens, but I don't owe those people money either. I would certainly help them have a better life if possible, but it isnt an awed thing.) is dead, and everyone that owned a slave is dead. If we want unity and equalty, we have to drop this victim mindset and move forward.
