GoodFellows: Conversations from the Hoover Institution

CHAPTER

The Principle of Reparations

My position is that reparations should have been paid two freed slaves in 1865. Thereabouts during reconstruction. Once you have a situation where I think I'm the six or seven greats descendant of slaves, I should not get reparations. It's a fantasy to suggest that I know exactly how my life would have been different had my great, great, great,. great grandfather not been a slave. That's the stuff of the butterfly effect in Hollywood. So reparations should be paid to freed slaves, haves to their children, not to their long, long run descendants.
