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.

If you took fines for riots, theft, property damage and murders than black people would owe white gentiles reparations
The blacks would owe White Gentiles reparations and the Jews would owe blacks and whites reparations

I disagree, I looked into this and most of the damage blacks do is to other black people in black neighborhoods so no skin off my nose.
