realistically, that's fukking retarded and a horrible way to gauge who is deserving of reparations.

People of color.
We are all in this together. I'm 1/16th African.Saw this on democracy now.
this is where all that one drop ruling shyt would immediate backfire on us. lets just play fantasy and pretend reparations were dished out. how content would you be with these biracials, octaroons and quadroons, coming through and taking resources that shouldn't go to them? they'll do the same shyt they did to indians w/their reparations. cacs with 10-25% african ancestry coming through and claiming black all of a sudden
Every group has gotten their dues except blacks !!!!It's only fair. Jews got a whole illegal ass country for the Holocaust
This is what every protest and uprising and speech needs to be about from here on out. Everything wrong with our treatment in the country stems from us never getting our reparations and being able to pursue our manifest destiny.

No federal or state taxes. Ever.
Free college.
$25 million per person. Or $10 million in gold bullion.
20 US states worth of land to be owned and occupied ONLY by blacks (swirl couples and families not allowed).
Sounds like a start
A brother can dream

Well, that can be easily remedied. Did they identify as African American prior to the judgement.
And of course in addition to having blood work, papers, and testimony. There are many ways of using discriminating factors to prevent people from accessing money. They do it to us every day.
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.

@CinnaSlim, you dont even see the value of reparations and how it would help repair the conditons of black communities and black relationships.
How would you go about it breh?...
What would your cut off be?...
At least one black parent or if it ain't two black parents
It should be at LEAST one black parent and one biracial/black parent, like the Obama girls. If u got a full cac parent
