Instead of DEI, why not formal reparations for slavery? Done in the form of a bank, it could be pretty powerful.

- Yossarrian22 2y agoWho should qualify? Do we go by a one-drop rule, if so what percentage of the population are we talking here? Do you have to prove that one drop came from slaves in the United States of America(e.g. "Based on best records available your one drop likely came from slaves in Bermuda no reparations for you")? And finally how should this be funded? Should people who immigrated or whose families immigrated to America after slavery was abolished be taxed also?
- dr_dshiv 2y agoThat’s right. It’s about American slaveholders. So you’d have to prove a direct descendant was a slave. Then there’d be the capitalization of the bank. Could probably be structured as a loan. And yes, everyone would indirectly be taxed for slavery reparations.
