My ancestors were poor Scandinavian farmers who had nothing to lose when they immigrated to the US in the late 19th century.  Should I be compensated for the fact that they lived in poverty?

No, anyone who thinks that is a lunatic.

I asked my girlfriend this and she chuckled. She says an a black individual the concept is hilarious. "First your ancestors enlsave and rape my direct ancestors. Then a century  later some dipshit tries to pay me off for it? I didn't get raped..." This is roughly what she said.

The privileged white man thinking once again that he is super important.  The few people that believe this, are blissfully unaware of their complete and absolute ignorance.
