What about the descendants of sharecroppers, factory workers, and miners with coal-smudged faces? Those forebearers didn't have it as good as slaves. At least slaves were taken care of by their owners.

And what about those descendants of people who went west on wagon trains with nothing to their names? People who were attacked, raped, and tortured by Indians. And what about those Indians?

And what about moms who slaved over hot stoves so their screaming kids could eat...and then had to wash the dishes?

And dads who worked 2 jobs?

I DEMAND my blood money, paid by Black taxpayers only, for my 4 great granduncles who, as Union soldiers, died in the fight to free their ancestors, those payments to be at the rate of 100 times any reparations.

I DEMAND payment, by Black taxpayers only, for the risk of property and jail my ancestors took, sheltering escaped slaves as part of the Underground Railroad.

I also DEMAND reparations of the Quebec and Canadian governments for the enslavement and murder of MANY of my relatives and ancestors. Oh but wait! I also descend from French Canadians who may have owned the English I descend from. Do I owe myself reparations?

There are very few pureblood Black or White descendants from the era of slavery in the USA. Like me, do they owe themselves $$$$?

A few Icelanders as well:

The Turkish Abductions (Icelandic: Tyrkjaránið) were a series of slave raids by pirates from Northwest Africa that took place in Iceland in the summer of 1627.[1]

You simply cannot try logic or reason. Racism has now became an ideology that starts by teaching in schools, Enforced by society. Then ingrained in the minds of idiots. It has came down to color os skin almost does not matter any more.
Hence, any black politician is instantly a “racist” against colored people.
IF a person of color does not follow the “rules” then they become a racist and is by default now a target of people of color.

Reparations movements will grow uncontrollable fueled by the fire of the pres and society.

Like most recent “mobs” they will turn on their creators.
