[QUOTE="Ana the Ist, post: 74109016, member: 302807"] Lol oh it's far worse than that.... I've actually read an essay and two studies that actually attempt to estimate the wealth lost to descendants of slavery (had slavery not existed in law and those "slaves" had been considered equal citizens and paid employees)....for the purposes of reparations. It's always interesting to me....no matter how wildly inflated those estimates are (I think one was in the hundreds of trillions) or how many factors one includes to try to get a truly objective estimate (which is clearly impossible....but still fun). There's always one glaring factor that's conspicuously ignored though, and I suspect the reasons are solely about prioritizing sensitivity over objectivity. That's why I never bring it up....but if you really want to know, just pm me and I'll explain. I'm sure you can handle it. Lol I really don't....you have to respect someone's opinion of you before it can hurt you. I was just trying to think of what someone who still feels guilt or shame would say.... But there's no foolin you ;-) [/QUOTE]
