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.

You would punish people by making them pay reparations for something they had no part in, to people who were not even part of it. Also how about the Dutch who first started transporting the slaves, Black Slave owners, and there were also white slaves.

The United States does not owe debts which it did not accrue. And paying reparations for slavery would not punish white Americans; quite to the contrary, it would unleash profound blessings on all of us the likes of which only forgiveness can bestow.

The money would come out of the U.S. Treasury. Which all of us pay in to. And I did not mention White Americans, as it will punish all Americans. This is nothing more than vote buying.

It is not money given by the United States. It is given by France, distributed in the United States because it is to French Holocaust victims now living here.
