Yes, obviously with provisions.
It only makes sense that people that were screwed out of money get it.  If my great grandparents had money that didn't get passed down to me, I would expect it.
However, I think it should be in the form of scholarships or something useful, not just a random check given to all great-grandchildren of slaves.

Then go give some money to some black people in an inner city by you right now.

Great suggestion, Jedi. Here's where I donate, and will again directly:

I would if I actually had the money to do it. Tongue Right now I need to save all the money I have for College though I do give some money and the spare change I have around Christmas.
