There's a lot of rednecks that are racists as hell but would never pay a dime because they're dirt poor but those with money who haven't a racist bone in their body, would be left to pay. Not fair.

I could be a descendent of a slave owner and not be racists at all. Why should I pay anything?
Or I could be a descendent of a slave and worth $50mil. Why should I receive anything?

It's over. Let it go!

Shame on anyone that stirs the racial animosity pot for support. It's about as low as you can go. It caters to the lowest of the emotional arguments.

You are using logic, that is not allowed.

You need to pander or you are a RACIST!!!

Just admit you are a racist, it might make you feel better.

Living in America is better than the alternative. I would never accept a check for reparations.

No matter how you fall on the "moral" argument of reparations,

Reparations are laughable and a fu*king joke.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is mentally unstable.

Reperations is a nice thought

The logistics kinda shuts it down

Who gets paid?
Who pays it?

How does it make sense for someone like my father who is 100% defended from post civil war immigrants to pay for this?

Obviously black Americans who are descended from post civil war immigrants shouldn’t benefit from this.

What % black do you have to be?

Do we pro rate it?

There is no real framework that would be fair.

Pretty solid points. Is or are there any relatively specific plan/process proposals by anyone speaking to these very real factors?

The cost of the determinations would be outrageous in and of itself. Then, just one of many complications, think of the infighting amongst families themselves as to which branch gets this or that, and so on. Silliness. Reparations law would be a great area to specialize in for attorneys to wind up with a large chunk of this money.
