Disclaimer - This has absolutely NOTHING to do with slavery so please don't start a rant about whatever happened 142 years ago. I'm not talking about Slavery.
Now, as you smart people may be aware, Jim Crow ended in 1964 after the civil rights movement. Before then, as you know, blacks were victims of multiple human rights violations. For those of you who don't know what human rights are, here's a link (it's not a virus, BTW): http://un.org/Overview/rights.html
Now, here is my position: I feel that victims of human rights violations during the Jim Crow era who are still alive today, should be allowed to file a claim for reparations.
Note: Several groups have already RECEIVED millions in reparations such as the Jews, Koreans and several Native American tribes, FYI.
Now: Do you agree that the senior citizens who are alive today who were directly affected by Jim Crow have a valid argument for reparations.
I'm not talking about anyone else but them. What do you think?
