We need to stop using the language of the left when talking about their plans. Leftists are the masters of language, propaganda, and the lie. The so-called "reparations" they want are actually reprisals every bit as odious as the crime of slavery that ended over 155 years ago. America payed for the crime of slavery with roughly 618,000 soldiers on both sides dying from combat and disease.

The Union armies had from 2,500,000 to 2,750,000 men. Their losses, by the best estimates:

Battle deaths: 110,070
Disease, etc.: 250,152
Total: 360,222
The Confederate strength, known less accurately because of missing records, was from 750,000 to 1,250,000. Its estimated losses:
Battle deaths: 94,000
Disease, etc.: 164,000
Total: 258,000

If the leftists want retaliation towards white Europeans for a slavery that ended 155 years ago are they ready for the inevitability of white Europeans deciding it is time to get their reprisal?

The votes of the descendants of the union soldiers killed or wounded in battle should count 2 or 3 times.
