The same way the Jews got reparations for the Hollocaust
Reparations for the Holocaust were only given out under certain circumstances and did not cover everyone that deserved it. I know because my grandparents were survivors. People in certain ghettos got it and not others. It was not well implemented because refugees were all over the place. Reparations for slavery are ridiculous at this point. What we need is better education and mentorship in low-income communities regardless of race.
It is not only for slavery, but for Jim Crow, segregation and systematic racism. And sorry (not sorry), but black people should be the ones deciding whether they want reparations or not, not white people deciding for them wether they are ridiculous or not.
Neither black nor white people should decide whether they get money but common sense/moral integrity should decide
So black people dont get to decide on whether they get reparation after generations of stolen wealth? Yeah, that sounds like racist right wing propaganda bullshit.
