Conyers is a piece of work, isn't he? It would be nearly impossible to determine who should get reparations and who shouldn't. Certainly it wouldn't be all African-Americans. And what would come next? And why should my tax dollars pay for reparations? I didn't own any slaves, and neither did my ancestors. Should we pay because we're white? Isn't that racist itself? Just as it would be difficult to figure who had slave ancestors, it would be difficult to figure out who has slave-owner ancestors.
