I want to bring up a rather "sticky" subject. For many years when the subject of reparations was brought up this was my standard reply. It was generally some black person who would ask me if I was in favor of reparations and I would reply, "Yes, I most certainly am in favor of reparations, how much do you want to pay me?" This of course brought a rather startled look on the face of the person who was asking me about reparations. They would ask me to explain and I would say this. "Slavery, was wrong, it was terrible, it should never have happened". "However, slavery was the best thing that ever happened for today's blacks." "If their ancestors had not been brought over here as slaves then they would still be in Africa which would mean 1) if they were over fifty they would probably be dead 2) they would not own a house 3) they would not own a car 4) they would not have a TV 5) they would not have a telephone 6) they would have a 25% chance of having AIDS 7) they would have virtually no health care system and finally 8) they would probably be unemployed." "Thus slavery was a very good thing for blacks living in the US today, so how much do you want to pay me?"
I know this is not a "politically correct" position, but I do think it has some merit. Would you please ask some of your members to respond to this position as I would be quite curious as to their viewpoints. I have convinced several people that this viewpoint has merit, but I have also alienated several people with this viewpoint. Now I want to help heal the racial divide in this country and not contribute to creating a wider gap, but I need a good rebuttal to my argument, which I have not been able to do on my own. C.M.
