My Italian grandfather had work menial jobs and then buy his house and later business cash because banks wouldn't load money to Italians. I don't deserve any reparations for how my Italian ancestors were treated in this country even if it wasn't as egregious as the way blacks were treated before. If anyone *today* is suffering in America because of their race, then they would have been better off if their ancestors were never brought to America. Money *and* repatriation is the only way to right this wrong. |
| "Peter W." <peterwieck33@gmail.com>: May 16 03:37AM -0700 The issues with the Irish and the Italians were regional, and lasted, perhaps 75 years from end-to-end. And, the Irish and Italians intermarried with the incumbents (for lack of a better term) pretty freely. Neither the Irish, nor the Italians, nor the Poles, nor the Jews, nor the Lithuanians, were ever chattels (property). Again, as long as one ignores 500 years of history, and as long as one ignores the fact that slaves, children of slaves and native Americans were denied the means of building wealth - education, land ownership, training, military opportunities, mortgages and much more - not for a few years, but for several centuries - your solution makes perfect sense.
