[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reparations for those in the Japanese internment camps paid $20K to each survivor (approx. 100,000).

I'm sure we could agree to pay 20K to each survivor of U.S. slavery.[/quote]

That would work if we were able to identify the survivors of U.S. slavery, but that is near impossible.[/quote]

Actually, no it's not. The U.S. Historically has done a great job of record keeping. Some combination of prior census identification plus other proof would be more than enough. [/quote]
Are you joking? There ARE no survivors of U.S. slavery. Figure slavery ended in 1865, and if a young slave was 10, at the most he could live another 90 years or so. That would bring him to 1955. Even if he lived 100 additional years, to age 110, that would bring him to 1965. I think it's a safe bet that the last survivor of slavery died 50 years ago, and likely more.

Of course, we do have survivors of the Nazis still living - now in their 80s and 90s - and Germany is still paying reparations.[/quote]
