Every black in America should get 100,000 dollars in restitution for slavery. Plus 3 "get of of jail free" cards signed by OJ.
 
This is a complex issue and I don't think it can be taken lightly. There are probably Afro Americans who chat on this board, some of whom agree with and some of whom disagree with restitution. Most would probably not like the mockery.

In Australia we have a similar problem with our Aborigines claiming land rights. Of course, some of these areas are now part of major developments or mines etc. and sorting out legal claims is a nightmare. What I do know is that our Aborigines have health statistics which are the equivalent of a third world country. I also know that they are given lots of money but it is spent inappropriately by the various self appointed leaders etc. just as in the States. Unfortunately for our Aborigines, the early English settlers did a good job of wiping most of them out. The Australian problem, sadly, will be resolved within the next three generations through general decline in population due to poor health and gradual loss of identity as more and more marry those of European background. The United States will not have the tragic luxury of a slow genocide to solve the problem due to the much larger population.

I have dark skinned friends here in Australia, in Africa and in America. When they tell me their stories I can only be grateful that I had the luck of fate to be born with white skin. Some issues just don't lend themselves to humour.
