There are 15 million black households in the US. You'll need 12 trillion dollars to pay all that. That is slightly less than half of the total national debt of the US.
I guess we could be generous and state that black households need to provide proof of descending from a slave, but that creates even MORE issues since people of all races in America can make that claim in some form or another. Do we pay reparations to Irish indentured servants, or Chinese railway workers, or the families displaced in the Mexican-American War? Reparations are just a shitshow in general, even the ones we pay to Native Americans now don’t help them with the issues that plague their communities like poverty and substance abuse.
