JR opines:

Regardless of what one does about it now, you mean you don't think there
IS a stain?

I personally believe some surcharge, say 0.01% (only a dime per $1,000),
should be added to all real estate transactions for, say, the next two
hundred years or so--paid *directly* to the nearest federally recognized
American Indian nation/tribe/reservation.....

....alternatively, one mil from all property taxes paid in the country....

Ridiculous! The native Americans have more than made up for it *in some
places* with their gambling casinos. You and I owe them nothing. How far back
should we go in history to remove the "stain?" Should we pay all the survivors
or their ancestors that lost everything in Tokyo, Yokohama Nakasaki, Hiroshima,
Cologne, Hamburg. Should we pay compensation for every Black man/woman because
their ancestors were once slaves?
