Ladies, where are my reparations for what Eve did? More race hustlers discover white slave owning ancestors, Kamala owes money to herself and more reparations memes in time for Black History Month!
Slavery is still alive. In my country, the Netherlands, we have lots of agencies 'selling' people, especially from Eastern Europe. If you're a business owner, go to them and ask for employees. When they send you one you can either agree with it or not, and ask for being sent another one. How's that different from the slaves being held from before?? There's only one difference as of now, and that's there's no beating yet. But be assured, that time will come, and them slaves will endure it for the first time being. My point is, slavery is still alive and kicking.
This reparations discussion gives me opportunity to remember the late Ralph Conner, who told me he opposed reparations because Jews had been slaves in Egypt thousands of years ago, and "those people understand compound interest."
Locally, the justification for reparations isn't slavery, but redlining. In the 1930s to 1960s, some areas where persons of colour lived were ineligible for mortgages, making it much more difficult for homebuyers to actually build equity as they paid off their houses. Their children thus were disadvantaged, being less likely to inherit wealth and/or have their education cost paid. That's all factual, but whether it justifies payments is a fair question. The local regime requires beneficiaries to document some direct connection.
Thats a good point BUT at the same time, working class ethnic whites who were driven from the cities to more expensive suburbs deserve something as well... They had the equity in their city homes drastically reduced or destroyed... The problem is, who ultimately pays?

$5 MILLION DOLLAR MAN. A denizen of San Francisco demands reparations for slavery. Listen to Turfseer’s hit song. https://turfseer.substack.com/p/5-million-dollar-man

A successful politician and political philosopher, Conner also is the narrator of a film some here might find of interest, "No Guns for Negroes." https://jpfo.org/filegen-n-z/ngn-download-view.htm
