How many black residents of New Jersey are descents of the few NJ slaves?
Like Elizabeth Warren who sat at the feed of relatives as a small child as they told vague stories of their being told by others that there had been Native Americans in their family and "no one can take those feelings of closeness to them from those stories away from me."
Now the NJ reparations money will cause people to say "Yes, yes I'm beginning to have the feelings. The vibes are there. There were slaves in my long ago past. Gimme the money."
The last 16 slaves in New Jersey were freed in 1865 with the passage of the 13th amendment
So what they’re saying is a white girl who is born 50 years from now will have to make reparations to a black girl who is born 50 years from now.
Because that’s no different than expecting me to pay it today.
