Exactly who would these be paid to? There are at least 5 generations between then and now. Pandering for votes. Anything to get it done. Sick..

I've always wondered what reparations is supposed to look like. A one time cash payment? Monthly installments? Gift cards? A prepaid VISA? Coupons? Food stamps?

Would they take taxes on it? Would the IRS consider it income?

So many questions...

I thought reparations were in play currently as EBT cards.

Seriously though..This is the problem with the concept of reparations as I see it...


A few thoughts:

1. Reparations (if made) would establish a dangerous precedent. Because if the U.S. Gov't is going to make reparations via cash settlements, then a whole hoard of cultures would show up on the White House steps with their hand out wanting their cut.

-- Native Americans would want reparations for driving their ancestors off their lands, and for the numerous atrocities committed during that time.
-- Asians would want reparations for those two atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945, not to mention the cluster bombing and firebombing on Tokyo that occurred during WWll. Additionally, Asians were used as cheap labor during the construction of the trans-continental railroad. They were very much treated like slaves during that time.


2. Doesn't the payment of cash settlements as reparations diminish the experiences that their ancestors endured under slavery? When the untold number of rapes and murders of their ancestors can be bought off with money, it cheapens and diminishes the hardships that their ancestors were forced to endure.

And as a side note....

3. Why aren't Jews demanding reparations from the German government for the atrocities committed during WWll and the holocaust? If there is justice in this world, then if any culture should be compensated for previous wrongs it ought to be the Jews for the atrocities committed by the German government.
