> Who pays?
Exactly the same people who paid reparations for the Japanese internment camps -- something you support.
> That seems logical to you?
Yes, it's logical. Because that's what you agreed was appropriate for the Japanese internment camps.
> Also, how do you prove direct harm?
Which is why I gave an explicit example of direct harm, for the beach resort that was seized because of race prejudice.
Was returning that property racist? You still haven't answered.
> my dad was sent to an internment camp by FDR, and as a result
Which is why I started with asking about reparations for those people who are still alive.
Do you think a law providing for redress for Black people directly harmed by racist Jim Crows laws, and who are still alive, is itself racist?
Instead, you seem to say "it's complicated, so we can't do anything. Oh, and it's racist to think about doing anything."
