There has already been reparations in our country. Affirmative action comes to mind. But, how do you figure out who gets what? After all, many former slaves received confiscated land in the South after the Civil War. I would think that everyone having the same Constitutional rights today should be enough to satisfy most, without having certain groups treated better than others, just based on color, gender or sexual preference.
