Hot take: I don't mind reparations but I just don't see how it can logically be implemented.
1. Are there good records of who has slave ancestry and who doesn't?
2. What about other races who were slaves? Do they get a check too or is it blacks only?
3. For blacks that descend from free men/slave owners, should they now pay into the reparations pool of $ to be redistributed?
4. How much $ do they get?
IMO the best time for reparations was right after the civil war, Now it's too complex
@basedbagel Everyone probably has ancestors who were slaves. Slavery has always been a thing in recorded human history and it certainly wasn't a "black issue".
There is nothing to apologize for, this was life since forever. It's not just that reparations can't realistically be implemented, it's that the concept doesn't even make sense. Might as well go full communism and take everyone's money.
Blacks have already been given the biggest reparation of all, they were allowed to stay in America.

Ashkenazi & Sephardic Jews should be forced to pay repatations
White looking Ashkenazi & Sephardic "Jews" owned, sold and transported black slaves then pretended White Christian Gentiles were the primary culprits
Also the Jews were bisexual & male Jewish slavemasters raped the male & female slaves
When they raped the male slaves they called it buck breaking
@shortstories I wouldn't doubt it, given how Jews operate. But yeah, slavery isn't really a racial issue, it's just the powerful exploiting the powerless and that happens regardless of skin color.

>powerful exploiting the powerless and that happens regardless of skin color.
I agree but they way I see it we kinda went a bit overboard.
It wasn't only just work for no pay. Alot of them also got raped, and tortured which is crues and unusual punishment but since they weren't technically people they weren't protected by the law.
Therefore someone smarter than me should find a logical way to compensate descendants of slaves.
@basedbagel Rape, torture and other crimes weren't exclusive to slavery. How do we compensate people for things that were so widespread? Odds are everyone has both ancestors that were victims of rape/torture/slavery and ancestors that committed those atrocities. There's no bloodline on this planet that has known only victimhood.
Also, if you think we should be compensated for things that happened to our ancestors, then you must also think we should be punished for what our grandparents did.
