There's no point in fact checking you after that abysmal performance, Drich. Blaming lincoln for your own ignorant racism.
Annnnywho, to steer this out of klan territory and back into mere reality, reparations has nothing to do with racial guilt. It is the government acknowledging that the united states government failed and harmed an entire class of people, and the insistence that it do what it can to make this right. In case of slavery, to level the playing field....though, not really, more like slightly un-tilt it because that's the full extent of our practical ability until we invent time travel. It's not a giveaway based on slave or oppressor genes, and anyone who finds themselves thinking as much needs to seriously consider the kinds of places they've been getting their information.
