I’ve seen it argued before that the Democrat party should be on the hook for reparations and I think it’s a great argument. Seems like an effective debate ender for shutting up the reparations crowd. Reparations is silly, but if you’re going to do it, it makes the most sense to hold the Democrat party accountable. It was Democrats who opposed Lincoln. It was Democrats who opposed the civil rights movement. If you want max correlation between deed and doer, go after the Democrat party.
The Democrats also owe Republicans reparations for the sacrifices made to end slavery and advance civil rights.
