There is a very serious legal question than needs to be answered before reparations can even be discussed properly. Under what theory of law is " victimhood" an inheritable asset?

Slaves should have been compensated for their labor. I fail to see where you inherit the victim status of your ancestors.

I fail to see where The British Government should compensate me for their failure to compensate my Great Great Grandfather for his land in Avoca, Ireland which was expropriated.

LOL...that's two of us. Let's start a class action suit.

Conversely, isn't corruption of blood specifically prohibited under the Constitution? Can the sins of the fathers legally be visited on the sons, even unto the umpteenth generation? And what if the father in fact committed no crime, as is the case with slavery, since it was perfectly legal at the time?
