[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh god, reparations really?  My family wasn't even here during the Civil war, they lived in Europe and didn't emigrate here until WWI or just last generation.  So, they never owned slaves and didn't come from a country that even had them.  That's just stupid...[/quote]

but you move to a country that did you moved to a country that interred Japanese people and they were paid reparations do you think you deserve your money back to for that?
  And I say this as a person who understands the desire for reparations but don't think it's going to end up being a feasible thing [b]but your argument is asinine[/b] .[/quote]

Well then, genius, put ME in the asinine category.

My roots go back to the late 40s when my parents arrived.  However, we had relatives here in internment camps.   I don't hear Italians screaming about reparations.

reparations!  lol

MISSOULA, Mont.— For decades, Italian immigrant families who lived through World War II in the United States did not want to talk about the curfews, confiscations of fishing boats, forced moves from coast towns, police searches of their homes and internments here at Fort Missoula.

But researchers are fleshing out this obscure footnote to American history: the treatment of 600,000 Italian citizens in the United States who were classified as ''enemy aliens'' after World War II began. And that is stirring memories among those who lived through it.[/quote][/quote]
