re: Cory "Retardacus" Booker introduces Senate bill on slavery reparations

i just cant see logistically how you could conceivable enact and administer something like this.

would just having "DNA from Africa" qualify you? if so everyone will be paying for a 23 and me DNA test, to show they are of African ancestry

would you have to prove you are descended from a slave? how do you prove this with most data either not kept, lost, or destroyed.

what percentage of our population immigrated tot he US post 1864? how can their tax dollars go toward something their forefathers didnt participate in.

where do you draw the line on reperations, just African slaves, of do you add in native Americans, what about Japanese interment camp detainees from WWII, what about Chinese used for railroad construction in the 1800's,what about poor whites effected by indentured servitude or debtors prison, what about Spanish & Mexicans displaced for the Spanish American war and war with Mexico,

Pandora's box would be open. this is nothing more then a political stunt to 1) paint trump/republicans as racist for not supporting it, and 2) fire up the base with more promises of "free Stuff"

And since when has the government achieved success with an endeavor by just throwing money at it. all you have to do is look at the cash that was handed out post katrina and see the waste...
