No different than establish your status as a Native American. You have to be a certain amount to get any benefits as a tribe member. If you less than 60% sub-Saharan, then you ain't getting shyt
And thats reasonable

This happen before to a degree after the Civil War, cacs then got mad and destroyed shyt
Get Cho scary azz out then. Give me what I'm owed and I'm building. And getting protection.It will NEVER happen. EVER.
But let's say it did. Depending on how much they were giving I'd take the money and get the fukk out of America ASAP. Real talk I'd be like Nas in Belly out of this bytch because reparations would only exacerbate white supremacy. If you think Police are murdering us now, just IMAGINE how some underpayed, entitled, Cac ass cop is going to feel when he reads that ******s are getting "free" money....
shyt will be like a Klan rally in Stone Mountain 24/7. Trust that.
The number we are owed is exactly 1.5 million for each descendant of slavery.
The US would raise the prices of everything to balance out the wealth I'm sure. A loaf of a bread would be like 100$.
!.5 million is enough money to turn your life situation around if you invest wisely or start your own business, its not enough that you could spend freely and not work again. Moving out the country with that money would be dope. They want us to go back to Africa so thats a start.

When they hand out checks you gotta have a family pic and if there's any cacs in it then that's who you get the check from
US govt on their shyt with that money so I won't be expecting anything soon. I'd take tax exemption for the next 10 or 20 years
I dont agree (hold on a minute militants).
Reparations for slavery is too messy and incoherent at this point, and we are too many generations removed from emancipation. It smacks of trying to bail black folks out because of the poor outcomes that have developed in the 150+ years since, and figuring out who deserves what would be a nightmare. The time for slavery reparations was during the reconstruction era, but like most everything when it comes to black folks America dropped the ball.
But here's where America does owe black people for: Redlining and the suburbanization of America.
The FHA's federal guidelines for underwriting home loans, and investing in neighborhoods was explicitly racist, unconstitutional, anti-American and those policies are tied to the collective wealth appreciation of white america, at the expense off black neighborhoods. This policy is directly responsible for the wealth gap between blacks and whites (average family's wealth is owed to real estate assets), and, consequently, the deterioration of the inner city.
Off the top of my head I believe 2% of FHA home loans went to black neighborhoods between 1930-1964, and 98% went to white families and neighborhoods. We're talking about billions in appropriated funds (adjust that to current dollars). This racist practice continued all the way into the 60s, so there's little problem finding direct ancestors who were harmed, obviously. Like your parents.
That should be the focus. Its an easy argument to make, and it has contemporary relevancy and is steeped in hard, easy to define economics. Slavery reparations is a dead end.
