I have no idea if reparations will help improve AAs economically or in education. It hasn't appeared to help Native Americans too much. None of this really matters though. Reparations are an attempt to right a wrong. AAs suffered economically due to the actions of the government. They should be compensated as such. Not sure why this seems to be such a hard concept to comprehend. [/b]

If past efforts have shown that reparations didn't amount to a hill of beans, why would we waste more money if the results are don't outweigh the costs?

not sure why THAT seems to be such a hard concept to comprehend, PP

I'm not agreeing to spending another dime on a failed effort.  The country is already in debt by trillions with a failing educational system.  If you want to reallocate money, then use it wisely by going into the urban school districts, making class sizes no larger than 15, creating wellness centers for those kids, hiring THE BEST teachers while offering them incentives to stay and perhaps work with kids over the summer, and create outreach programs that connect schools to neighborhoods.

Stats show that blacks AND Hispanics are behind academically. So instead of being reactive with money ("Here's $20 b/c we guilty."), be proactive by using money to teach kids how to read and work through anger and resentment.  And give them job training.  Not all kids WANT to go to college, but our elitist society thinks that trades are beneath us.  That to me is highly offensive, as I come from a family skilled in trades.

Common sense is dead.
