From what I can tell, that is the general moral principle being used here.

Perhaps, but how many generations are you going to go back before you feel justified?
As long as you keep reliving the past the wounds will never heal.
We're talking 170 years ago. To keep bringing the past up and demanding that there are reparations to be paid is ludicrous. It does nothing but divide.
African Americans are starting to get to a point where they are treated and respected, why keep rehashing a past and producing hatred? My feeling is that there are some (Farakhan, Jesse Jackson etc) that want to keep the division so that they don't lose power.
