I understand the rationale behind this argument though disagree because it gives credibility to the idea that reparations should be paid to begin with.
Agree. Also, how will eligibility be determined and subsequently validated? It’s my guess that a high percentage of Caucasians if taken a DNA test will find they have some black ancestry, especially those who are of southern European ancestry. Keep in mind that the ancient Greeks and Romans tromped all over the Middle East and the northern rim of Africa. Then, there’s ancient trade; Portuguese, Spain, on and on. This will be one big cluster fu€k, for sure…
