Slave Reparations

There was a vote in the Senate a week ago calling for an apology being given for slavery in the US. As is usual the clarion call was led by ultra-liberal, Tom Harkin of Iowa. Some of the naive would say that this is necessary to show we are sincere about race relations. Smarter folks know that it's a prelude to reparations being give to our Black brethren. They forget that reparations have already taken place to the tune of 500,000 dead during the War Between The States.
