Does this make more sense?

Question

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080802/ap_on_el_pr/obama_slavery_reparations

anybody else think that makes more sense then just handing out checks and saying "sorry"?

Answer 1

Agree except in one area, which is become mute. Still support affirmative action for period of time when slaves were breed to be strong but dumb. Will say end it after few more black presidents.

Answer 2

Of course.

A symbolic apology would be a good idea. But the idea of reparations is simply not workable for many reasons.

Obama is correct--investing in people through better schools, etc. is the way to eliminate social inequality.
