Ffs stop trying to turn the memes instance into a political shithole
How do you sort out who rightfully deserves the reparations and who should rightfully pay because of past slave ownership?
Reparations should be given not in the form of direct monetary payments, but massive investment in black communities and especially schools and scholarships. All black people in America suffer from systemic racism, so build a system they all benefit from regardless of who their ancestors were. Giving out monetary reparations won't solve any problems. This system will provide permanent benefits to all current and future black Americans.
Almost as if you should fix the system, not compensate individuals financially.
Fake news!

The tough issue is that while they did end slavery they never changed ownership and slaves didn't own anything so all the people in this thread arguing how to identify actual victoms are idiots! It's the same debate we have with cononialism just on a far smaller scale and there is no easy solution but none isn't sufficient ether!
The US did not completely end slavery. Prisons can treat prisoners as slave labor.
True, especially considering the way they use it and the reasons they might make you one for!
