Comments on: Ten Reasons Why Reparations for Slavery is a Bad Idea – and Racist Too http://thebrownspectator.com/10-reasons-reparations-slavery-blacks-bad-idea-racist/ A Journal of Conservative and Libertarian Thought Mon, 14 May 2012 12:05:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Jamie http://thebrownspectator.com/10-reasons-reparations-slavery-blacks-bad-idea-racist/comment-page-1/#comment-6878 Jamie Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:28:41 +0000 http://thebrownspectator.com/?p=1502#comment-6878 Seemingly, Horowitz did not thoroughly research what he was getting published... and either did the publishers. A lot of these can be refuted and proven to be incorrect. Such as the remarks about how many Americans had died to free them. Pres. Lincoln himself had said that the war was not about saving or freeing the slaves, it was about preserving the Union. Also, there are a far greater amount of Whites receiving welfare than blacks (proportionally), and if this was a form of reparations, why are the white people receiving them as well? Again, too many broad generalizations. Seemingly, Horowitz did not thoroughly research what he was getting published… and either did the publishers.
