veritas on Slavery and Reparations


Every US slave holder is dead.

Every US slave is dead.

Virtually every American is of such mixed ancestry that his ancestral fractional slave holder/slave component is incalculable.
Virtually every ancestry was at one time or another slave or slave-holder, or both, further graying the matter.

Now: can some of us PLEASE get over our "victimhood" and proceed to get a life and become productive -- in the society you'd never have seen were it not for that lamented ancestral [note: ANCESTRAL! not CURRENT!] slavery?

[If all that seems insufficient, see: http://www.gmu.edu/departments/economics/wew/gift.html in which Dr. Williams sez: "I, Walter E. Williams, do declare full and general amnesty and pardon to all persons of European ancestry, for both their own grievances, and those of their forebears, against my people.� Therefore, from this day forward Americans of European ancestry can stand straight and proud knowing they are without guilt and thus obliged not to act like damn fools in their relationships with Americans of African ancestry."
~~ Walter E. Williams, Gracious and Generous Grantor]
