Everybody has either 32 or 64 direct ancestors from that era?

If you have both slaveholders and slaves as ancestors do you count up and either pay or receive depending on which is more?

There are millions of people like that.

It will be simple racism though, dependent on how you look

They dont. Neither of them do. It is nothing but virtue signaling on a massive scale. Present generations have nothing to do with any acts committed by previous ones. They do not have to answer or atone for what their grandparents or great great great grandparents did.

Also, who qualifies?
Is it a one time payment to current adults or is this a never ending program?

approve reparations. tell them to head to their nearest Target store, approach any of the white customers at the cash registers and take anything from their baskets that they'd like.

I might go for this -- IF AND ONLY IF -- a separate class of reparations would ...

be isolated to only living people [who check the caucasian or Asian box on the census] who can make a claim to have been discriminated against by the most racist government sanctioned affirmative action/diversity/quota policies since 1965. The payments will be made from those who have taken advantage of Affirmative Action/quotas/diversity.

I am white and 100% behind it. Not direct money, but a program to relocate AAs to parts of the country that are pasty white. Looking at you NE and western states.

How about offering $10 million each, BUT only if you collect it in person, in Africa, and renounce your citizenship while there?

The price was paid in blood in the 1860's and in treasure since.

The ones clamoring for reparations would never be satisfied with any amount or actions.

Aka "white guilt" is running in short supply.
