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 :scust:

which is why they should only give to people who are 50+ or have a black parent

someone who is 10-25% shouldn't even be considered Black

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.

so a kid with a black parent and lives with that black parent and has mostly black family
isn't black?

and one of their parents are black and therefore could get reparations
but they can't?

but we still need to be paid what it owed.
