- weberc2 8y agoIt ignored lots of things. I have no idea how we could even get in the right ballpark even if reparations were morally desirable.
- rayiner 8y agoPay enough to even out the black-white income difference (about $8,000 per person per year).
- weberc2 8y agoThat doesn’t make sense. Without slavery the current generation of African Americans wouldn’t have incomes equal to white amAmericans. You’re shortchanging other races, not to mention everyone who has to pay for the reparations but never meaningfully benefitted from slavery.
