When it comes to public opinion, Georgetown would do itself far more harm if it settled with these people. The overwhelming majority of people in this country find the idea of reparations to be ludicrous, especially considering the number of impoverished European immigrants who came to this country after slavery was abolished and yet managed to pull themselves out of poverty within 2 or 3 generations.

Do you think the ancestors of slaves should be given money?

I will tell you this quote shows how woefully inadequate education has gotten in this country.
Many, many of the white immigrants were treated as badly as the former slaves were. They were basically slaves (indentured servitude), paid little to nothing, performed back breaking labor and yet somehow their descendants aren't out shaking the money tree.
