Reparations for All

Amid the recent clamoring for reparations for Slavery, other organizations and members of Congress have jumped onto the reparations bandwagon. The advocacy group  “Save the Whales” wants Congress to pass a bill authorizing reparations to them for “all the whales that have been slaughtered through the years”. Not to be outdone, the Audubon Society is calling for reparations for the slaughter of Passenger Pigeons more than 150 years ago. Going even further afield, longtime decedents of the Texans that died at the Alamo now want reparations from Mexico, and Veterans groups from the 7^th Cavalry want Native Americans to pay reparations to them for Custer’s Last Stand. Some Republican  Congressmen and Trump supporters have even floated the idea of reparations to slave owners for their loss after the Emancipation Proclamation. Surprisingly, the Native American groups have remained silent on staking their claim to reparations for wrongdoing to them. Their response was “We have much bigger fish to fry and issues to address”.
