Here’s my idea of reparations: Leave. Them. Alone. A domestic version of “Let Africa Sink.”
Most likely, they WON’T sink, but will work their way back to standing on their feet.

Given the current metrics, that will be a very long, arduous road for them, because they’ve been lead to believe one of two things. 1. That they are somehow destined to be Wards of the State. That for the vast majority of their ethnic group, they cannot exist without public assistance. That they are incapable of self-support. or 2. The the net effect of the more than half century of government coddling and largesse has made them feel that somehow they are “entitled” to have “special treatment” as a consequence of the slavery their ancestors endured. But more likely a combination of both 1 & 2. So much to say, I will believe that progress is being made when you can drive down any city’s Martin Luther King Blvd. and you will not be in a place where you are threatened just by being there.
