lol. As if Reparations were ever NOT going to be impossible to reach a satisfying conclusion. Even if both victim and offender were alive, it's not necessarily a legally sound idea to enforce on people who weren't doing anything illegal at the time, but now? Implementing Reparations is a joke:

-Taxes are taken from everyone, so any reparations from the government would be paid by both people who didn't contribute to slavery and even the beneficiaries/victims themselves

-Some black people may be the direct descendants of slave owners(without rape) e.g. Kamala Kahn >=)

-Some white people may be the descendants of black slaves(not good for optics)

-Everyone has different ideas for what would be fair compensation, who should get it, and where it should come from, so few- if any, will be happy about the final outcome

-Families that emigrated to the US after slavery shouldn't have to pay for the past crimes of someone else

-Few families in the US even owned slaves, so why should the whole country have to pay

-The debt has already been paid in blood. Slavery was accepted at the time, so maybe the countries that changed 1st should be celebrated rather than castigated

-Slavery is literally a DRAIN on wealth and hinders progress. Countries that had slavery have historically done worse than countries that hadn't relied on slavery

-Slave owning families may not have retained their generational wealth

-Lost or incomplete records will lead to further complications in finding out who is/isn't eligible even under clearly defined criteria

-It's literally impossible to determine how much wealth a descendant has that was made directly as a result of wealth inherited from slave owning ancestors. Would they have made the same or even more without that inheritance? Who the fuck knows
