Shouldn't we give reparations to Native Americans?

I didn't, and it didn't happen to the indians that are alive now.  The acts of my forefathers have nothing to do with me and I don't feel people should have any special treatment because their forefathers had it hard.  Except for Mexicans, minorities already get too much special treatment.

Just for the sake of argument, if someone in a lot of financial debt dies, that debt doesn't just vanish.

Likewise, if one President or administration goes to war with another country and pisses them off, then they attack us during the term of his successor, "Don't look at me, it was my predecessor who attacked you," won't be a very compelling argument.

Most of the people who came to America were a lower class of people who's ancestors who had it hard at the hands of there past rulers.

We should all be better off than we are because we had ancestors who got screwed.

But I don't sit around complaining about how England owe's me reperation's for what happened to my ancestors, I went to university.

Providing opportunities for disadvantaged people not matter there race is the best way to improve the living standard of the native America community.

Lump sum reperation's are most certainly not the answer.
