I agree.

Trauma, there is a great chink in your theories.  I have a strong aversion in my heart to part of the song you sing.  The social myths you have invented to help you to sleep better at night are unrealistic, and they come at a great social and psychological expense when they become the views of the aggregate.  

Great mental, social, and economic scars still plaque the descendants of the trans-Atlantic slave trade.  It is arrogant and grossly ignorant to dream that because something happened before we were born, we are no longer affected by it.  If so, the sacrifices you believe that Jesus Christ made, would have no effect on your life.  Likewise, the oppression and torment slaves were forced to undergo, has caused this country a great deal of stress, years after the Emancipation Proclamation.  There is no way to completely account for the tragedy of slavery, but we can atleast make an attempt at doing so, if not there is going to be a hot time in the old city, believe that!!!!

Sikotic™:
The damage has been done already. Reparations won't reverse it.

Zero4eva:
jews got it, so african-americans have to get it as well. reparations can't change or reverse the atrocities of the past but it could be a little step.
