If ever there were a way to revitalize supremacy movements and encourage a race war, forcing members of a race to pay for the sins of their ancestors is certainly the thing to do.
Large majority of white and blacks ancestors had zero to do with colonial slavery and immigrated after WW2. Notice how I said colonial slavery. As the can of worms during the medieval, feudal, and tribal periods not a single humans forebearer's hands are clean. Where do we draw the line? At the last iteration of which not a single person is alive that partook? That infact their direct descendants fought to end? That THEIR direct descendants expanded upon and even made more equitable. To this day if you're a minority in the west and apply for consideration in nearly any process. You will be given preferential treatment. Jobs, contracts, applications, assistance, housing, funding, education, admission, ET AL.
Some say reparations need to be paid; I counter with they already have been. They've just been taken for granted.
And most of their ancestors weren't slaves either but by virtue of their skin colour some British black guy could move to America and automatically get free money because of reparations.
"Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin." ~ Deuteronomy 24:16
Even more retarded if your family immigrated her during the potato famine and may or may not have understood the paper’s they signed when they got of the boat to fight for the union but white man gotta pay reparations anyway
I am so sick of this. Paying for the “sins” of your ancestors is a medieval and moronic concept.
It will also keep racism alive for decades to come. A scab they will pick endlessly to fester and drive class division.
I have to agree.

Not advocating but I am pointing it out.

As a racist myself, I agree.
Everyone is racist. We just have to get over it.
Itll likely destroy this country.
Not if they take MY plan.
Which is why we'd have to have a Republican congress -- dems don't want to let black people go to Africa.
Tell old Pharaoh, let my people go!
My ancestors never owned slaves.
They were Irish immigrants on my dad's side, and Mayan tribes that mixed with the Spanish on my mom's side.
But my last name is Anglo Saxon, so according to them I'm white.
I'll fight this shit in court if I have too.

Some North Korea style of governing.
Some guys wrote about this long ago:
