Forevery $1 paid to the decendants of slaves, pay $2 to the decendants of Union soldiers. All of them.
Over at DU, they don’t want this as a single payment either. Every black child born moving forward is to get a payment as well. Let that sink in budget-wise.
It’s a shame that the Left will do anything possible to create hate, division and problems in the USA, and they offer a “Solution” to the problem they created, just to get elected.
Let’s be more direct and problem solving. Offer repatriation for any feeling hurt by legacy of slavery. Return them to their homelands. Otherwise, if they want to assimulate and participate in American society, it is time to move on, be treated as equals. That means eliminating all race, ethnic, and national origin preferences. Ending affirmative action. Payments? Forget it, enjoy the benefits of America or accept repatriation back to ancestral homelands.
First, there has to be a legal definition of “White” and “Black.” There isn’t one. It can’t be on skin shade. It can’t be on facial characteristics (the nazis tried that), it can’t be based on hair style. There are no genes for White or Black.
So that leaves one thing: self-identification. If you check a box you gets money - check another box you pays the money.
I did nothing. I have no guilt. No money from me.
REPARATIONS FOR VICTIMS OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION!!!
The Democrat Party owes me a lot of money.
Christians need reparations from pagans. Pagans include Wicca a and eco freaks.

Reparations were already offered to freed slaves.
40 acres and a mule.
If former slaves didn’t sign up for the program then, tough.
Affirmative action & a multitude of wealth redistribution programs also could be considered reparations.
40 acres & a mule was intended to facilitate self sufficiency. Same for affirmative action & welfare — a “hand up, not a hand out.”
Enough already. Any group who is NOT self-sufficient after all that, is essentially claiming, or admitting to, group incompetence /inferiority.
Notice, however, the demands for reparations are mostly coming from lefty white SJWs—who never owned slaves— with an unspoken vested interest in keeping blacks down & beholden to themselves, while publicly flagellating themselves over their “white privilege.”
