I just can't wait to find out what they plan to do with those of us who look WHITE but have black ancestors who were slaves. And there are so many people these days who are half black and half white. Or half Hispanic and half black. Do they get half reparations? I look totally white but can prove I have black slave ancestors. I don't think these idiots have any idea what they are angry about. IF they would spend more time WORKING instead of demanding a handout they would be too busy for all this anger..... I know I don't want any reparations for my ancestors' slavery. I am just glad they were brought to USA where I am sure they have multiplied many times over, enjoying all the good things this great country has to offer.

Are they going to go by the one drop rule? I played baseball with some girls that were part black. Their mother had a black father. My friend had very tan skin and kinky hair. Her brothers and sister were toe head blond, blue eyes and skin so white it couldn't tan just freckle.

Reparations would be an administrative nightmare. We would probably spend more money doling out the money than money doled out.
