Don't know whether this has already been mentioned regarding reparations, but if someone is part white/yellow/brown AND part black, would that disqualify one from receiving any reparations? I mean, who knows? Maybe I have some African-American ancestors I don't know about. Assuming reparations were to come to fruition, would I qualify?

I don't know. That part of the plan hasn't been revealed, I guess.

This is probably the biggest problem with the plan. The American melting pot is still at work, and of us have very mixed ancestry.

And what happens if an reparations-entitled young woman marries a young man who is not so entitled. I guess their children would be kicked back onto the tax rolls.

Sounds like a powerful disincentive for miscegenation to me...not something we need in 21st century America.
