No one now living ever contributed to the maintenance or advancement of slavery....children and grandchildren, etc. can’t be legitimately held responsible for the actions of their ancestors.
Furthermore it would be nothing more than another ‘redistribution of wealth’ scam.... taking money from someone who has never owned a slave and giving it to someone who has never been enslaved.
Most importantly....Hundreds of thousands of people have already died for them to be free in the civil war that blacks alone could not do for themselves......hundreds of years have passed to unite their people to better themselves rather than fight and kill between them.
You’re correct. And my family came here in 1899.
My Great Grandmother came from Belgium as an indentured slave, what do I get for reparations?
