There are no blacks living today who were affected by slavery... It ended in 1865, and in 1868 full citizenship rights were granted.

So, unless you were producing C02 prior to 1865, you weren’t affected by slavery directly.

The current Federal Government began in 1789, so slavery was only legal in the US for about 76 years, and has been illegal for 154 years, more than twice as long as it was legal.

IF you feel your life was ruined because of something that happened to your great, great, great, great, great, great, grandparents then you need therapy, not a government check.
