    I guess this deserves a thread. I have asked this question multiple times, yet no one can answer it. Let's assume reperations comes to pass in the form of a direct payment to American Africans (dont hold your breath...., but I digress) How do you plan to show who is "black enough"?

    There are tons of mixed race people. Will it be like the "one drop rule" the white supremacist use? Do these people "qualify" ? Have you even thought that far ahead or are you to busy fantasizing what you will blow 'your' check on?

    You make light of it but it's a serious question.

    Since the "scientists" say we ALL originated in Africa then we all get a piece of the pie.....I'll take the 40 acres, they can give the mule to someone else.

    Fair enough. I won't interfere further.

    All I can think to go by is family heritage. Note that I think reparations are impractical. I'd rather see educational and social programs for the needy and not just Blacks.

    In Australia, you do get a bit of a bump up in social services if you are Aboriginal and Torres strait islander. You could argue that this is a form of reparation. I don't think this is appropriate for your black community. I actually think what they are striving for more than anything is some kind of emotional recognition.

    FB what are “reperations”? Are they the same things as them that says “hot diggity dog! Them thar reperations is a mite troublesome!”

    Sorry mate would have put it down to a typo but noticed you had the same misspelling twice and my imagination kicked in…..

    Your valuable contribution is noted, though I had to hit "show ignored content" to view it. Thanks for reminding me why.

    You are not aware that there have been significant "educational and social programs for the needy" for the last 56 years? Medicaid alone costs $600B a year. That is more than the entire GDP of Nigeria a country of 212 million people.

    What is interesting to me is that despite all that is available to help people and all that has been spent since the great society race relations are worse today!

    Yes there is a reason for that and it starts with “them and us” rather than “we the people”

    They won't answer. They know they've ****ed up on the whole concept.

    It's EUGENICS. That was Hitler's thing.

    Exactly. Because a certain sector (let's call them White Supremacists) are intent on keeping black people helpless.

    And let's not forget that Progressives (invariably in favour of reparations) have declared the legality of officially identifying as something other than your biological reality, so it must include those who identify as black slave descendents.

    OPENLY being the operative word. That's the problem - there are far FAR more of them hiding in plain sight.

    This is what they do. They emote-vomit these ill-considered schemes predicated purely upon the virtue points they think it'll give 'em (or votes, if they're in politics), and upon the belief that it won't get their own hands dirty.

    We're talking about people with zero interest in helping - they don't even begin to consider whether what they're doing is feasible or potentially harmful. It's all about the noises they themselves make. It's like singing into a hairbrush in front of a mirror.

    So the same people who cannot be expected to produce an ID to vote have to produce some sort of proof of ancestry?

    Let me guess the taxpayers are going to have to pay for that also? The companies that sell those kits will see a boom. I'm sure democrats will find ways to profit from that.

    The OP nailed it because how do we determine who is black enough or do we issue checks based on a percentage? If you are 3/4 black you get a 75% check?

    I'm almost for reparations just to watch this unfold.

    OK, explain how much % you have to be. Are we talking about entry into an exclusive club based on race alone? Know who else used to ask for papers?
