I have studied the term "corruption of blood" in the US Constitution which comes from old English law that means that no sins of the father shall be heaped upon his offspring.
So it seems abundantly clear that, since no one alive in the US has been a slave or has owned a slave, "reparations" for slavery is absolutely unconstitutional and any attempt to force someone to pay it through taxes should be thrown out of any court in the land. And doubly so since there were relatively few slave owners/
Gee, some people’s ancestors were enslaved by some people who weren’t even my ancestors.
I think I’ll go hang my head and rend my clothes - then tell them all to just GF themsleves and die.
The white snowflakes like Gavin Newsome are virtue signaling about reparations. They know it is unconstitutional, but the people they pander to do not.
The flaw in your logic is that the primary goal of the Woke Movement is to destroy the Constitution...not to abide by it.
The consequences of sin/decisions have long arms though................
good and bad decisions.
Not really. Art. III, Sec. 3 of the U.S. Constitution only states "no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood." The phrase appears nowhere else in the Constitution, nor in the 13th and 14th Amendments.
Also note that all the slave owners were Democrats and the GOP was created to destroy slavery.
Which is why the Demos are trying so very, very hard to go back.
Some Whigs were slaveowners. The Republican Party at first was not calling for immediate abolition of slavery (people like Lincoln distanced themselves from the abolitionists and John Brown) but just to stop the spread to parts of the US which were not yet states, on the theory that that would eventually led to the end of slavery.
Check out this guy who still believes we have a Constitution.
It is deader than the parchment it was written on.
Quoting “corruption of blood” or “shall not be infringed” to globalist anti-humanists is like quoting magical Harry Potter spells to a mugger and thinking it will protect you from him.

Call me old fashioned. 😄
When Lorenz Hart outed Pamela Geller's succsful media children and got them fired from one gig, she did corruption of the blood. This is how lib/commies work. They are thoroughly evil. Brandon is a good symbol for them with his corruption and pedophilia/incest.
