apparently, at least according to some media, reparations are gaining momentum (http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=2171984&CMP=OTC-RSSFeeds0312). in case you don't know, reparations are the ridiculous notion that either the u.s. (government), businesses with an ancestry reaching back beyond the civil war (how many of those are there?) or some combination of both should pay money to those who can prove that their ancestors were slaves.
i'm quite certain that i am in the majority, a big majority (i don't know if he's part of this majority, but dave chappelle did a funny skit on his show about what would result), when i say that this is a ridiculous idea. consequently, i hesitate to make a suggestion on how it should be done should that day, heaven forbid, ever come when reparations actually happen. but i had a good idea this morning. all welfare and charity of any type that has gone to such descendants should be deducted from the final total.
