Who gets reparations? If we give this generation reparations do we pay their children and then their children?
When does it stop? Does it stop?

That city councils are now voting "symbolically" on such measures and that the Houston Comical is devoting continued "news" ink (as opposed to editorial page ink) is an indication that some day we will be paying this money out (would the lawyers who negotiate this payment expect to be compensated?).

It may take decades but it will be considered an entitlement (it is even considered to be owed to the woman in this article even though her relatives were not slaves). How about we collect the money from the nations that sold the slaves in Africa? Maybe we get the Dutch to pay out as well for transporting the slaves.

Slavery was already in America before the United States was established. We abolished slavery in under 100 years. Meanwhile slavery continues to this day in Sudan. So much for righteousness...
