Well of course in order for reparations to work - to find out who pays and who collects - everyone would need to be completely profiled by race for several generations back.
However, note that even the Nazis didn’t go that far. So the reparations crowd wants to be even more invasive than the Nazis??
Oh yeah, the public should love that argument
I think they’ll do it on a national basis. Slavery was legal in the US, therefore the US Government via the Treasury via the tax payer will pay those owed.
Now who is owed would require that background checking like you said.
It would essentially boil down to anyone black would get a check, and any non-black tax payer would pay.
However it turns out, it would be totally racist. No one can be held accountable for the actions of their ancestors, especially since the vast majority of US taxpayers never had ancestors that held slaves.
If the lefties tried to enforce it, the majority would backlash and we’d have CWII. It’s suicidal for them, they’ve alienated the military, now the police forces and then we have the good ole boys with a rifle hiding behind every blade of grass.
It just won’t happen.
