I'm game, as long as:
1. The nations that took them and sold them to the American traders is paying the majority of the reparations, say a 60-40 split... and they pay first...
2. Only those who can prove direct lineage from a slave can make a claim...
3. Only those American who are shown to have direct lineage from slave-owners have their taxes increased...
4. The total amount owed per descendant is reduced by 50 percent for every generation that a person is removed from the slave-holder...
5. The total amount paid by individual owner descendants to the slave descendants is divided equally among all of the owner descendants...
6. The amount awarded per person does not exceed the reduction in the slave descendent's expected lifetime income that is due to the slavery (and this calculation must be public, of course)...
7. There is no additional award for punitive damages, since those who are to be punished are long dead...
8. The total amount awarded is reduced by the amount of tax proceeds that the individual descendent has already been directly given through welfare, contracts, wages or other government revenues of any type...
9. The award is tripled for those who agree to give up their citizenship and repatriate to their nation of origin...
10. Half of the award is divided among all proven descendants of Northern soldiers who fought or died for the North...
11. Never again is there any public reference to White Privilege, the stigma of slavery, blaming skin color for any societal issue (ie, the Race Card is dead... and any future public playing of the Race Cad results in tax penalties), black issues, the Black Congressional Caucus, or quotas in university admissions or criminal enforcement...
Support that calculus, and I'm on board. Otherwise, go pound sand.
