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.

I agree in principle but I don鈥檛 see how it could possibly be administrated AND what about those yet born who carry the same emotional legacy?

But that鈥檚 not sense making because we are already several generations away from slavery so how will this be distinguished for fair disbursements?

I think a council a black leaders, carefully chosen by black Americans, should be a Board of Trustees that handles the disbursement. There are scholars who have studied the issue closely, and those with the best ideas regarding projects that promote educational & economic renewal

A council of black leaders, carefully chosen by black Americans? I would be interested in knowing the mechanism used to choose this council. Understand there are many black Americans who are complicit and benefit from the poverty of their people.
