These reparations can never be done, as it’s too confusing. As someone pointed out earlier, what about people like Obama? Does he get a half share? What about the small number of African Americans who actually owned their own slaves. Do they not get any?
12 million Africans were brought to the new world. The vast majority went to Brazil, and the USA received about 650,000. Roughly 100,000 Irish were also brought to America as slaves too. Ever wonder why so many African Americans have Irish sounding last names? Many of the slave owners “bred” the African slaves to the Irish slaves.
It is impossible to track down, and there are too many confounding issues. A simple apology will do.
