Payback

Let me be sure I understand: When your great-grandparents slaved to pick cotton under the lash of Simon Legree, mine struggled to survive under the yoke of a persecutory Czar; when your grandparents fled Southern oppression, mine ran for their lives from Russian pogroms; when your parents faced racial prejudice, mine confronted religious discrimination; when you were stung by "nigger," I was taunted with "kike" and "Christ-killer"--and you want me to pay you reparations?
