#6 Come on, who imagined that a state which never had slavery would take money from people who never owned slaves and give it to people who never were slaves without a new, huge bureaucracy. Did I mention well (exorbitantly) funded?

#11 More than likely we have all had ancestors who were slaves. The Romans, muslims , vikings etc really didn't give a damn what race you were when conquering and taking slaves.
