There's a movement in the US to institute 21st century reparation payments to descendants of 18th and 19th century slavery. One of the big problems with reparations for slavery is that it is addressing only one of the wrongs committed by US citizens over the past 226 years.
What about women, who were second class citizens for most of US history, and only received the right to vote less than 100 years ago? Don't descendants of women also deserve reparation payments?

I was actually referring to the first portion of your post (slavery reparations). I figured the second part was sarcasm.As to the first part - deadly serious.
