Thanks to a grant by billionaire David Rubinstein, when you tour the home of 2 term president James Madison— instead of a lesson on The Bill of Rights which he wrote, and the Federalist Papers which he co-authored— you get a 1619 project lecture. - Kotaku In Action 2

No one should pay reparations on the principle that we don't visit the sins of the father on the son. If they wanted to confiscate the wealth of slave owners, they should have done so back then. Now, reconstruction was shitty on the whole south, so some slave owners were fucked over along with a lot of other people, but it wasn't systematic reparations. Northerners got no punishment other than the freeing of their slaves, that I'm aware of. It's too late for that now.
