Excellent reasoning!
To: William Terrell
Kenya is too nice of a place. Its about the only African country I don't hear anything bad about. Besides most slaves came from Western Africa, so they should be sent to such wonderful places as Liberia, Sierra Leone, Cote d'Ivorie, and Ghana.

Somehow, William Terrell, I don't they'll go for this plan. Seems to me the ones who had a genuine gripe are long gone. There are no living black folks that are or ever have been slaves.
We owe them~ nothing!

Good Idea! Not mine, the author's.
?
To: Boxsford
But it would be entertaining if the plan was presented publicly. If they turned it down, they would cut loose from any position they would have in the matter, including basis of threat for corporate raids.
To: William Terrell
Thanks for the bump.
Actually, some pro-reparations folks I know would accept repatriation as part of the deal. It's somewhat logical IMO.

BTW, Liberia was originally set up for the repatriation of black folks. It's governmental structure and constitution is patterned after that of the U.S. All they would have to do is take it back from the lifeforms currently in possession of it.

Rather like the final move to checkmate.

A place was prepared over a century and a half ago: Liberia. Yes it was, and look at that hell hole today.

And the Liberians thoughtfully installed a provision in their "Constitution" that bans any white person from owning land.

Also citizenship limited to blacks. I like it.
To: William Terrell
Including the amount formula and conditions?Makes sense to me but I'd have to ask some of my pro-reparations friends how they feel about it.

I'd expect that they had their hearts set on more money than that.
