I must agree with; why do I owe anything to anyone when my family fought for the Union in the Civil War. The forefather lost everything while fighting and ended up moving North and died in an Old Soldiers Home. The rest of our family came to America long after slavery ended. Almost all athletics, music, movies, commercials, and special treatment for thieves and crooks for one race. When is it enough?
We have always paid out taxes that support those who need assistance. Yet having graduated from a predominantly Black High School, everyone makes their own choices. I choose the military as a means to break my bonds to continuing the poor opportunities in Flint, MI. As did my brothers. Flint forever has been run my Democrats, who, we must remember were the ones in favor of slavery, but now conveniently forget their history. Where are opportunities and infrastructures crumbling or never progressed? Reality is the Democratic controlled areas. It seems those who are the enemy, conservatives, move to areas and vote for the things they want from their government. But now, that is seen as elitist, yet my taxes pay for it. Funny though, I live in a very diverse neighborhood.
Equal opportunity, favorable college selection, tax support for families, and other things provided by tax payers. Yet, what has changed? Somewhere people themselves need to say no more killing of our own in neighborhoods, vote for those who will provide better schools, laws, and infrastructures. The police are bad! Yeah, you want to be in a police car alone at 3AM in Chicago? If not, you know nothing of the true character of the job. Yet, elected officials who encourage crime, theft, and excuses for why everything is bad are the winners. It's those other folks who are doing it to you.
Reparations are just the next bait to hook the clueless voters. No one has that kind of money, well other than the elite world order rich who aren't giving up jack squat for anyone. Where are the rich actors, musicians, and athletes? Oh yeah, they are encouraging money be taken from middle class folks to give away, again and again. It never ends. This is just another form of wealth redistribution and the goal of all to be equal in having nothing, while the elite thrive and rule over the kingdoms. You want wealth, work your ass off, make the sacrifices, and try and integrate into the system that will allow you to do that. It is done everyday, well, not for those who think the money fairy will plant that special tree for you to just pick hundreds off of.
The US infrastructure is a joke and in desperate need of updating, safe guarding, and modernization. Yet a new car for all and shop till you drop is the new motto I guess. It's all free!
England lead the fight against slavery, losing hundreds of sailors patrolling the seas for slave ships. But only the US lost over 400,000 men to end slavery. Liberals act like all 19th century whites were rich plantation owners when many were just poor northern soldiers fighting to preserve the union and abolish slavery.
You make so many good points; allow me to add one more. People keep mentioning the importance of improving black-majority schools. It doesn’t matter how much money you put into the schools if the kids are the ones in charge of the classrooms. I’ve seen numerous videos where inner-city kids are screaming, fighting, and generally raising hell, while the teacher just sits there, too cowed to do anything. The teachers need to be able to discipline (with a hired security guard if that’s what it takes) and the parents need to be on their side. The respect for and value of education must be instilled in the home. Didn’t it used to be there? Remember those commercials where the poor old grandmother was scrubbing floors on her hands and knees to add her grandchildren to school “because a mind is a terrible thing to waste”?
I remember those old UNCF commercials. A mind IS a terrible thing to waste. And yet black minds are being wasted at a far higher rate now, twisted and ruined by a rap-based culture that glorifies crime and teaches young black males to treat women horribly.
You just hit on it!!!! If our wealthy elites want reparations let's give it to them. Funded entirely by a 90% surcharge on their income and a 50% wealth tax. Watch how fast the "reparations" gig wilts. Like hail on a summer's day.
Elihu Yale was supposedly involved in the slave trade somehow (though looking a little further into it, I'm not sure if he actually owned a slave, or what his culpability was as a governor of the East India Company).
But to be both safe and to fulfill the spirit of self-mortification, Yale should dig into its $40 billion+ endowment as penance. I'd say a 50% cut would be a good start.

Yeah. Go reparate, Ben affleck.
