Now I can expect my (who's parents didn't live in the US during slavery) tax dollars to be handed out to blacks. Hey it worked for the Native Americans (oh wait, it didn't......most live in the same conditions they did 100 years ago), so let's hand it out to another group.

The US government makes me sick at times!
Have there been Hawaii reparations or Native American reparations? Stop overreacting. It was a nice and appropriate gesture from the House of Representatives. Would that it happened long ago...

How do you legislate the nutritional content of food, beyond the labeling requirements? Do you forbid the use of lard? No red meat? No refined sugar? Do you allow those kinds of foods but tax them into oblivion?

Electing Obama would be the first step.

Since his position has always been that he is . . . opposed to reparations.

Yes, I see your point. :-)

happening for decades! Sure bought them a better life. Oh, and the casinos. For all the money the casino's are raking in, have you seen any Native American's that are better off now than 20 years ago?

Cali- I am sorry to see that you stepped in on a conservative circle jerk. You are such a cock block sometimes.

Maybe I could be convinced that Obama was for reparations if you could provide any sort of evidence.
