What of the wealthy white families that made plenty of money and as a result their descendants influence politics and business today ?

@Picklebobble2 and? Those same white families had the opportunity to screw up and fail. Some did, some did not. Former slaves are in the same position. Some rose to the challenge to better their lot in life, some did not.
You also forget one thing not every white person was a slave owner. Try looking up the numbers sometime. Also not everyone that is black in this country is a descendant of a slave.

@Harley4Life I never suggested any of them were !
You have the view that nothing is owed and that's clearly not the case is it.
So if descendants of those self-same slaves wanted reparation, how is it unfair of them to want it ?

@Picklebobble2 because they are looking for a hand out that is NOT warranted. This country has made many mistakes and bad choices in its existence however it has done many things to help the black community even though most are to blind to see it.

@Harley4Life And yet statistically even today, if you're black you are far more likely to be mistreated or ignored in terms of being a victim of crime; poverty; poor housing; poor nutrition; poor education........ Where's the advancement ?
