Okay, maybe my statement is a little harsh, but asking for something that is owed to you for things that dead people did to dead people (at least how many generations ago now?) is not right either. My ancestors came to America well after the Civil War, so should I be held accountable for slavery? If this were to happen, then the any culture can go back to a time when they were repressed, and expect money from the oppressing peoples, that are very long gone.
