Reparations go beyond closing an economic divide; done well, they close a chapter of American history. They go further than ending an evil, which generations before us did. It is our job now to make restitution for the evil, in economic terms where the wound still festers.

Okay, no. There is noone to pay the debt and noone who suffered from it directly. What are we gonna do? Reparations can only go from country to country. Not from one group to another. You are gonna start a race war. That doesn't help.

No, reparations do not go country to country. This is not about starting a race war; it’s about ending one — a subtle, insidious, underground war between those who are owed compensation and those who owe it. As a Jew, I can tell you that wronged ancestors cry out for justice.

You can't hold accountable for the sins of the past the descendants of the perpetrator. What is the plan ? WHO EXCACTLY has been wronged ? Every group! Period ? Some more than others, but in the end, EVERYONE. If you want to work towards peace, then don't make ridiculous demands

No, not everyone has been wronged with 2 1/2 centuries of slavery followed by another 100 years of institutionalized violence. An educated understanding of history shows that the income gap between blacks & whites today is a clear legacy of slavery, a continued pattern of racism.
