I agree with that for the most part, though I would make an exception for native americans. The entire county was stolen from them and most of them exteriminated. Had hitler managed to send everyone in poland to the gas chambers would he have then been the rightful ruler of poland? At how about reperations for the millions of victims of the drug war? Unlike slaves, who after 150 years have decendents who's ancestry include slaves, slave owners, free blacks, indians, people who emmigrated long after the civil war, drug prisoners can offer a very specific list of damages from the brutal repression. Seems like I remember the term "pursuit of happiness" from somewhere. But like most of what we hear from the government, it's all a dirty lie.
