isn't that enough??

That's a really good point, but I don't really think 60 years is that long. I mean, I know it's long, but not that long. Besides most of us today didn't have the opportunity to participate in that. I think reparations are the least we can do as a new generation to reaffirm our floundering commitment to equality. What really should happen is that money should be taken from corporations since the slave trade was directly an integral component of business. American business and farmers need to pay for this.
