To quantify how much slavery has effected 21st century African Americans we would need to compare them to a control population. People who’s ancestors weren’t captured and sold as slaves. Such as the the current population of Africa. I wonder how much “reparations” would end up being if you based them on the difference in standard of living between African Americans and people still living in Africa.
Yes silver lining is living in the USA.
Do the Obamas get a check? I guess not but the absurdity of successful African Americans receiving money. The absurdity of anyone receiving money for long ago injustices to their ancestors. What horrible damage is being done to a country that pretty much abolished racism long ago.
