Actually we all have 100% African DNA. And if they actually do pass out money then Iâ€m black. Prove Iâ€m not.

If nothing else you can "identify yourself as African American.  They cannot deny you for that.

This will get lip service and no action of course. DC is good about lip service.

Some committee will study it.

"So if youâ€re thinking of whatâ€s just, you would look back and you would say the descendants of those who suffered those kinds of terrible cruel often arbitrary injustices deserve some sort of regress, some sort of compensation. A recognition."

He's saying the offspring of slaves might merit compensation, if such a thing could be defined somehow.  The practicability of this is highly dubious.

Who pays these reparations and why should they? My ancestors here in ohio did not own slaves and the men fought for the Union......

This is an excellent point.  Only states that wanted to secede or actually owned slaves should participate in reparations and let them work out who needs to pay.  This is not a national question.  Strictly local.  Below are two list that the reparations people can choose from.  Good luck.

I think we should pay reparations, to Japanese people. They had their property confiscated and livelihoods destroyed by being put in internment camps during WW2. Some of them may still be alive, and most of their children certainly are.

I accept that racist laws existed preventing home buying in some nicer districts, but there are other ways to invest money and accumulate wealth then real estate.

$20,000 only to survivors, not their children. And that was a paltry amount for taking years (in some cases) of people's lives away and confiscating their stuff.

That's about $350k in today's dollars, so that's not a pittance.  Now, survivors not getting is another thing.

No longer GroupThink 'woke'.  but it was fun while it lasted.
