Among all the other logical reasons that this is stupid as well as impossible to implement (And, how many whites died in fighting the Civil War anyway. That is enough!)there is this question: How will all these so-called descendants prove their heritage? Heck, most don't even know who their fathers are now, let alone who their fathers were a hundred years ago.

Plus, many of the blacks in America now aren't even from Africa, let alone descendants of slaves here.

Can you imagine the bureaucracy that will have to be set up to verify ancestors for this?

And, if they want reparations...for just the ancestors of slaves, then that should only come from tax money collected from descendants of slave holders!! My family was not here! Nor were the families of millions of Americans. Why should we pay?

Stop thinking logically and rationally! This is all about “feelings” for goodness sake! Besides, you answered your own questions. A vast bureaucracy will have to be set up to verify. Bureaucracies are good! One cannot “organise” people properly without bureaucracy. And, obviously, more control is what this world desperately needs.
