I'm tepid in wanting to read QAnon97's explanation on this one. The "looking at a car accident with fatalities" tepid.

Because he lives in the United States of America, where Chattel Slavery, Jim Crow, and Redlining occurred. You live here, you accept the debts with the benefits. The same sort of reason why I, a retired empty nest person, pays taxes for schools.

The same reason we compensate Indians for past theft of tribal lands, even if our personal direct ancestors had nothing to do with it. My dad had nothing to do with rounding up and detaining Japanese Americans, but he didn't complain when they were compensated.

Realistically, we can't pay full value. Also, unlike affirmative action, reparations should be narrowly targeted to the descendants of actual victims.

We might have stalled long enough that it's too late. There should at least be an honest conversation. Not, my ancestors nothing to do with slavery, and I never discriminated against anyone, so don't look at me.

Direct cash payments are a non-starter for many.  I think that ship has sailed.  We need some “outside the box” thinking that would lead to a honest dialogue, create empathy and build support for repairing the damage.

As I said before, your typical poster here is a lot closer to Dom than they are to me and Spark (probably the most liberal posters here).

Are the costs of the Civil War to be considered in determining reparations?

Why would we charge the victims the costs of their liberation? Especially when subsequent to their liberation, we systematically denied them fair and equal access to land ownership, education, credit, housing, employment, and so on?

A lot of lives, and money, was spent to free the slaves, no? Just inquiring if you think those "costs" should be factored in at all.

Actually not a Boomer. But I know how Spark and you love to needlessly grandstand and virtue signal.
