How does the gov't prove someone is not eligible? I'm #islandgang. I could sign up for reparations and get it, if I don't have to prove anything.
My point is that being unable to determine eligibility is the fault of the government, in my opinion. They either didn't keep track of slaves or destroyed records to obscure our origins, so that constitutes a failure on their part, IMO.
That being said, if you're trying to propose a realistic solution, that's definitely not the hill you wanna die on. :kanyebp:
