The fact that my four grandparents were born abroad, and all immigrated to the US in the 1910s and 1920s rules my family out of participating in this SJW dream project. And there are millions of second-generation and third-generation Americans with similar stories like myself. This Reparations effort will never go anywhere, but people can opine all they want.

the paternal part of my family didn't begin to arrive here until 1900-1910. but some of them were polish...we're talking decades of polish jokes. obviously, i am due reparations.

Q: Why wasn't Jesus Christ born in Poland?

A: Because they couldn't find three wisemen and a virgin.

Sorry, but worth it. Where do I send your reparations check?

Thankfully, I'll mail your check to Jeff Sessions' retirement home. You can pick it up there.

Very similar story here.

Reparations would help with my medical bills incurred raking leaves every autumn. I keep falling out of the tree.
