The only thing that bothers me is when I am treated unfairly because a minority was wronged in the past. As for that crap that, for the scales of justice to balance, they must first tilt a bit to the other side before being allowed to settle at an even level, it just keeps the fight going between the poor while the rich get richer.

On a related topic, I have seen on various TV shows lately that some African Americans want reparations from the US Federal Givernment for the wrongs of slavery. Guess I'm not up on your history because I thought that your federal government was the primary mover in removing slavery from the US in the first place.... fought a war which held this ideal as a causal factor. People died, black and white. No ? Please enlighten me.

Anyway, I don't want to create a big discussion about the wrongs of slavery. Nothing could be as disgusting as slavery and biggotry.... but my second choice might be the use of old wounds for division and conquer of the poor by the rich.
